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

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
