Nanomaterials Chemistry&Engin

This course aims to provide a comprehensive overview of synthesis and characterization of nanoparticles, nanocomposites and hierarchical materials with nanoscale features. Course modules will cover the fundamental scientific principles controlling assembly of nanostructured materials; synthesis, measurement and computational tools; new properties at the nanoscale, and existing and emerging applications of nanomaterials.

ChemEng Princp/Biological Syst

This course is intended to be an introduction to many core Chemical Engineering principles, within the context of mammalian cell biology and human physiology. We will cover biological topics of cell division, DNA, receptor-ligand binding, matrix protein assembly, tissue engineering, and cell motility, using a quantitative engineering perspective. Within this biological framework, students will learn the basic principles of mass and energy balances, thermodynamics, kinetics, and transport. (Gen.Ed. BS)

Transport Process

Emphasis on foundation and conceptual understanding of physical phenomena. Focus on prototypes of convective transport and transport processes involving homogeneous and heterogenous reactions; role of boundary conditions including moving boundaries; molecular interpretation of diffusion.

Adv Chemical EnginAnalysis III

Numerical methods for Chemical Engineering analysis. Linear system solutions with emphasis on robustness, speed and conditioning of equations. Applications in finite difference solutions of linear and nonlinear parabolic and elliptic pde's. Robust methods for initial value problems and Methods of Lines solutions using finite difference discretizations. Weighted residual methods, especially collocation and finite element methods. Nonlinear equation solving by fixed-point and Newton-like methods. Continuation methods for multiple solutions.
