CHEU
308 Conservation
Principles in Chemical Engineering
Conservation
Principles in Chemical Engineering examines the applications of
fundamental laws of mass and energy conservation to chemical and
physical processes. Emphasizes material and energy balances on chemical
processes. Students are given an opportunity to develop skills in
applying chemistry, physics, and mathematics to identify and solve
chemical engineering problems. They will practice using the
methodologies, resources, and fundamental concepts to formulate and
solve material and energy balances on chemical process systems, and
will evaluate those answers for reasonableness based on fundamental
concepts. Students will discuss and engage in thinking about
the many applications of chemical engineering, the many possible career
fields within chemical engineering, and the societal responsibilities
of the Chemical Engineering Profession.
CHEU 608/ECEU608
Nanotechnology in Engineering
Nanotechnology is the refinement of
functional properties of materials, devices, or systems that are in at
least one dimension smaller than 100 nm. In recent years,
nanotechnology has revolutionized how we think of science and its
impact on society. In this course the student will explore a wide range
of new technologies based on, or influenced by, breakthroughs in
nanoscience. Such nanotechnologies include, but are not limited to,
spintronics, quantum computing, carbon nanotube electronics,
nanoparticle cancer remediation strategies, biomolecular electronics,
and nanomachines. A general goal is the engineering of new or
enhanced macroscopic properties from nanostructure or nanoscale
materials and components. Through review of the scientific
literature, classroom lecture, seminars by international leaders of
nanotechnology, and student team projects, the student will become
well-versed in this important burgeoning field of nanotechnology.
CHEU 634 Nanomaterials: Thin Films and Structures
Nanomaterials are engineered to take advantage of unique intrinsic properties that result from at least one length scale of less than 100 nm. Nanomaterials play an important role in chemical and other engineering disciplines with applications in a variety of fields including material processing, drug delivery, semiconductor devices, and catalysis. This course explores the unique properties and processing of materials in nano-scale films and nanostructures. Basic properties of nanomaterials, the measurement of nanoscale phenomenon, and the fundamental kinetic and transport principles in the manufacuting of thin films and nanostructures are stressed. The fundamentals are discussed in terms of the latest research in multifunctional devices and nanotechnology.
