Hi Students & Parents!! We will have a BLAST in class this semester! We'll do lots of field trips, have some great speakers, and travel to some awesome places to do labs! Here's our basic course info: Course Description: This course will introduce the concepts of material and energy balances, which are the foundational principles in chemical engineering. Unit operations, separation techniques, and reactor design will also be taught. In addition, this course will describe the five major categories of materials: metals, polymers, ceramics, semiconductors, and composites. The students will learn the properties of these different materials, and how these properties affect the performance of the materials for various applications. Tentative Semester Schedule | Week # | Unit Name | Chapter # | Exams | | 1 | Introduction to Chem E | 1 - 5 | | | 2 | Intro to Material Balances | 6 - 9 | | | 3 | More Material Balances | 10 - 12 | | | 4 | CHE Unit 1 Review | | X | | 5 | Intro to Energy Balances | 21 - 24 | | | 6 | CHE Unit 2 Review | |
| | 7 | Case Studies Due | 12 | X | | 8 | Reactor Labs Begin | | | | 9 | Materials Science & Eng Unit 1 | | | | 10 | MSE Unit 2 | | | | 11 | MSE Unit 3 | | X | | 12 | MSE Unit 4 | | | | 13 | MSE Unit 5 | | | | 14 | MSE Unit 6 | |
| | 15 | MSE Unit 4-6 Review | | X | | 16 | MSE Projects Due | | | | 17 | MSE Presentations | |
| | 18 | Course Review | | Final | Students: Grading: A weighted system will be used to determine your grade. The percentage categories are as follows. Tests: 45% Homework/Quizzes: 15% Labs: 25% Final Exam (Comprehensive): 15% And Parents, remember: Chemical Engineering & Materials Science is a rigorous course. We will cover the material in introductory college level courses in these subjects. To be successful in this class, students should be working on something in Chem E/MSE every night: reading the chapter, completing homework, going over notes from today’s lecture, working problems at the end of the chapter, writing lab reports, studying for a test or quiz, or working on a major project. Parents, if your child is NOT doing Chem E/MSE for 2 or 3 days in a row, they will quickly get behind!
