This course is intended to provide beginning engineering students with a clear overview of the field of chemical engineering so they can confidently decide if they want to pursue chemical engineering as a profession. Throughout the semester, students will develop basic skills in problem solving, computation, process design, and communication that will help them in all future engineering courses.

Students choose a topic to research on their own under the guidance of a faculty advisor who will then grade the final written report.

This course examines current advances in environmental health science via critical reading and discussion of recently published peer-reviewed papers related to environmental health. Using the typical journal club format, the papers (and topics) discussed will change from week to week and will include topics such as pollution, exposure assessments, mechanistic toxicology, environmental epidemiology, and others.
