CHE 250 (Special Topics) - Sustainable Engineering Entrepreneurship
An undergraduate and graduate course that aims to introduce engineering students to entrepreneurial thinking in solving existing sustainability issues. An underlying goal of the course is for students to practice and continue to develop communication skills. The course will utilize lectures, student presentations, and various other resources to develop these insights. It is the goal that students can utilize the learned skills to improve ideation and business creation or pursue sustainable technological development within chemical and environmental industries.
CHE 105 - Intro to NanoScale Engineering
This course aims to provide students an introduction to nanometer scale science and technology, the mathematical theoretical underpinning, its importance, common applications, governing performance factors, synthesis and characterization of nanostructures, and emerging applications. An underlying goal of the course is for students to practice and continue to develop technical communication skills (both written and oral). The course will utilize various resources to develop these insights.
CHE 102 - Catalytic Reaction Engineering
This course focuses to deepen students understanding of catalysis reaction engineering and the optimization of the properties of particulate catalysts for various reactor configurations with particular focus on packed bed and batch reactor. Students also develop skills in creativity and entrepreneurship by developing a fictitious business that uses developed catalysts to design solutions for sustainable applications. With contemporary issues (sustainable chemical processes) in mind and trained with the skills to adapt to new needs, students will benefit from these problem-solving experiences for their future career in either industry or academia.
CHE 250 (Special Topics) - Heterogeneous Catalysis on Mars
A graduate level course that introduces students to the principles of heterogeneous catalysis and nanotechnology for the development of technical solutions to support life on Mars. Students acquire the ability to create and design novel heterogeneous catalysts that may be helpful for generating breathable air and nutrients from Mars resources.
CHE 117 - Separation Processes
This course integrates the principles learned from thermodynamics (CHE 130) and mass and heat transfer courses (CHE 120, 116) for systems design to reach a desired objective using separation techniques. These abilities are useful not only in future courses (process control and senior design) but will be valuable tin either traditional or non-traditional chemical engineering applications. Additionally, this course introduces current research in separation processes as a way to acquaint students to the habit of reading, understanding, and evaluating research publications. It is the goal of the instructor that student’s draw a connection between fundamental knowledge learned in this course with state-of-the-art separations technology to help develop critical skills in highly dynamic chemical and technological industries.
CHE 160C - Separation Processes Laboratory
Laboratory exercises in separation processes and in process control. Students are required to use their experimental data for scale-up purposes or for an application in engineering design.
