Numerical solution of mathematical models for chemical engineering systems in MATLAB. Model types include algebraic systems, ordinary differential equation systems, differential-algebraic equation systems, partial differential equations, linear programs and nonlinear programs. Formal lectures will be restricted to recitation sessions and regular sessions will be used to solve specific models within a collaborative environment.

An integrative and interdisciplinary approach to catalysis science and applications with links to fundamental chemistry and engineering concepts. Overview of catalysis subdisciplines, methods of catalyst and nanomaterials synthesis, characterization of nanomaterials and surfaces, principles of reactivity of molecular, solid and biocatalysts with illustrations from industrial processes.

This graduate course will discuss the skills needed to design, approach, and complete a successful thesis in a STEM or STEM-related field. We will cover experimental design, mining and interpreting relevant literature, research ethics, rigor and reproducibility in research, writing and presentation skills, and many other "soft skills" critical for a successful graduate career.
