Introduction to Chemical Engineering

3 units

This graduate-level course is for first-year graduate students with undergraduate majors in chemistry, physics, materials science, and other non-engineering programs. The course aims to develop students' capability and philosophy, changing from basic science and other engineering disciplines to chemical engineering science and technology by learning the fundamental principles and methods and practicing essential engineering calculations. In particular, the course allows students to explore modern chemical engineering to design and optimize processes requiring a series of operations to convert raw materials into useful products or efficiently realize desirable biological-related procedures.
