Experimental study of selected operations and phenomena in fluid mechanics and heat transfer. Students plan experiments, analyze data, calculate results and prepare written and/or oral planning and final technical reports. One hour discussion, four laboratory hours. Prerequisite: CHE 2215 and CHE 3316 and CHE 3321; corequisite: CHE 3322

This course will cover the fundamentals of Physical Chemistry with an emphasis on engineering-relevant topics and applications. This course will connect molecular properties to macroscopic observables via the fundamentals of thermodynamics, quantum theory, statistical mechanics, and chemical kinetics. Prerequisites: APMA 2130 and CHEM 1420 or equivalent

Introduces the fundamental principles of tissue engineering. Topics: tissue organization and dynamics, cell and tissue characterization, cell-matrix interactions, transport processes in engineered tissues, biomaterials and biological interfaces, stem cells and interacting cell fate processes, and tissue engineering methods. Prerequisites: CHEM 1620, APMA 2130, and an introductory course in cell and molecular biology or instructor permission.

Factors underlying interfacial phenomena, emphasizing thermodynamics of surfaces, structural aspects, and electrical phenomena. Application to areas such as emulsification, foaming, detergency, sedimentation, fluidization, nucleation, wetting, adhesion, flotation, and electrophoresis. Three lecture hours. Prerequisite: Instructor permission.

This course will cover the fundamentals of Process Safety. We will apply chemical engineering fundamentals to identify various hazards within chemical processes and will assess the risks associated with these hazards. This course will also cover the process design approaches and other commonly adopted industry practices used to mitigate, control and/or manage risks associated with chemical processes. Coreq: CHE 3322 or MAE 3140; Prereq: CHE 3321 or MAE 3210

Principles of bioseparations engineering, including specialized unit operations not normally covered in regular chemical engineering courses. Processing operations downstream of the initial manufacture of biotechnology products, including product recovery, separations, purification, and ancillary operations such as sterile processing, clean-in place and regulatory aspects. Three lecture hours. Prerequisite: CHE 3322

Analyzes the mechanisms and kinetics of various polymerization reactions; relations between the molecular structure and polymer properties, and how these properties can be influenced by the polymerization process; fundamental concepts of polymer solution and melt rheology. Applications to polymer processing operations, such as extrusion, molding, and fiber spinning. Three lecture hours. Pre- or Co-requisite CHE 3321 or BME 3240 or MAE 3140

Overview of energy technologies with an emphasis on materials research and development concepts and current production. The scope of these technologies within the broader contexts of innovation and energy policy. Topics will include fossil fuels, electrochemical energy storage, fuel cells, and photovoltaics. Prerequisite (CHEM 1410 or CHEM 1610 or CHEM 1810) AND (CHE 2202 or MAE 2100 or MSE 3050).

This course provides a practical introduction to data science and machine-learning for chemical engineers. These tools, not covered in the core UG ChE curriculum, have become increasingly relevant and widely used in the chemical engineering industry. Course topics include data storage and retrieval, dimensional reduction, classification, regression algorithms, resampling and regularization, and case studies in chemical engineering. Pre-requisite: (CS 1110 or CS 1111 or CS 1112 or CS 1113 or CS 1110 place-out exam) OR (APMA 2130 or MATH 3250) OR APMA 3110 OR CHE 2216 OR equivalent

The course focuses on engineering's role in commercialization of vaccines and biologics. Biologics are more complex than small molecule drug products. This course includes an overview of vaccines and biologics from historical context, product, process and analytical technologies, immunology, clinical, regulatory and ethical considerations, economics, risk mitigation, and impact on human health. Prerequisites: 4th year in CHE or BME
