A laboratory course emphasizing experimental work in fluid flow, separations, heat transfer, and mass transfer. A majority of this course will focus on lab report writing, statistics, experimental design and safety in the laboratory.
A lecture and problem-solving course intended to combine the principles of chemical engineering with optimization as they apply to the design of chemical processes. Results of each design case studied will be presented by both oral and written reports.

Basic theory of automatic control devices and their application in industrial chemical plants is emphasized. Identification of control objectives, appropriate measurements and manipulations, and possible loops between these, requires integration of the control system with the original process design. Interactions between process units are analyzed using well-known analytical tools and design strategies.

This course takes a detailed look into the processing equipment and approach used in modern distilleries. We apply chemical engineering principles to the processing challenges faced by smaller craft distilleries and those relevant to larger flagship production sites. The impact of the design choice on the short and long term economics of the production facility is examined.
Overview of materials and processes for the application of plastics in the automotive industry. Engineering properties of plastics, rheology and governing relations for melt process flows. Plastic injection molding including design, control, and simulation of molding operations. Plastic part design and material selection; material testing and quality control.
Drug delivery is a multidisciplinary field that combines the expertise of engineering/pharmaceutics and medicine to design better therapies for a wide variety of diseases. This course will provide a solid foundation on the mathematical principles that underlie all drug delivery technologies. These principles will then be integrated into several delivery routes and dosage forms, including pulmonary, oral and transdermal. This combination of fundamentals and case study applications will provide a broad understanding of the origins and current state of the art in drug delivery.
A unified study of physical rate processes in liquids and vapors, including: mass, energy, and momentum transport, transport in chemically reacting systems, similarities, turbulence modeling, buoyance-induced transport and mulitcomponent diffusion.
Rate expressions for heterogeneous reaction kinetics; energy and mass transport within and external to reacting porous catalysts; design equations for multiphase, fixed and moving bed reactors.
