Survey of research issues in environmental design and planning. Designed to assist students in developing research in their area of interest. Includes selecting a topic for research, synthesizing the pertinent literature, developing research questions, designing a research study, and communicating the research findings verbally, visually, and in writing. This course satisfies the Integrative Experience requirement for BS-EnvDes majors.

This course introduces students to the energy needs and possible energy changes that will occur as we transform from a petroleum-based energy source to renewable energies. It will give students the tools and perspective to evaluate alternative technologies in energy utilization with emphasis on renewable/sustainable technologies.

The application of chemical engineering and biochemistry principles to the design and optimization of processes in the food and pharmaceutical industries. Topics include enzyme catalysis, metabolic engineering and regulation, fermentation, microbial growth, bioreactor design, and product recovery and purification.

An introduction to the theory and application of momentum transport in fluids. The basic theoretical equation, e.g., Navier Stokes equations and Boundary Layer analysis developed and used to flow problems, with applications to laminar and turbulent flow in the design of piping and other chemical equipment.
