This course is a one-credit stand-alone senior-level honors colloquium that enhances the chemical engineering curriculum. The Honors course will consist of mandatory attendance at the weekly Chemical Engineering Seminar Series. Each student will select a seminar of their choosing for an extensive review (1000 words including a review of two relevant papers from the literature, due on the last day of classes). Each student will be required to discuss their topic with a faculty member in the Chemical Engineering Department whose research is most closely related to the subject area.

Fundamentals and applications of the thermodynamics of phase and chemical reaction equilibrium; applications to industrial problems.

Fundamentals and applications of the thermodynamics of phase and chemical reaction equilibrium; applications to industrial problems.

Professional seminar. Preparation for professional job searching, including perspectives from outside speakers, basics of personal finance, ethics in engineering decision making, information on graduate and professional schools.
