Development and analysis of mathematical models for chemical engineering systems. Topics include statistics for data analysis, linear and nonlinear algebraic equation models, ordinary differential equation models and numerical methods for model solution.

This course is intended to provide undergraduate and graduate students with a clear overview of microfluidics, microchemical systems, and microscale analysis. Following an introduction to the basic concepts of microfluidic device fabrication and operation, students will research and present on microscale technology relevant to a specific application in materials or biology. In parallel, students will apply this knowledge for the hands-on development of a microscale technology relevant to their topic of interest.

This objective of the course is to design and construct an electro-chemically powered vehicle within certain size constraints, and attend the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE) Student Chem-E car competition. The vehicle must be designed to also carry a specified cargo. The constraints and rules of the vehicle are given (they are similar rules to the chem-E-car competition of the AIChE).

This course a one-credit stand-alone sophomore-level honors colloquium that enhances the chemical engineering curriculum. The Honors course will consist of mandatory attendance at a weekly Seminar Series. These seminars will provide students with an opportunity to see the current research being conducted in chemical engineering. The seminars will display the breadth and excellence of the research occurring at UMass. It is also a great way to show the Chemical Engineering honors students the most current aspects of our profession and let them know early on about joining research groups.
