ENGRI 1120 - Introduction to Chemical Engineering

Fall. 3 credits. Letter grades only.

Enrollment limited to: freshmen. May not be taken concurrently with ENGRD 2190.

J. Varner.

Design and analysis of processes involving chemical change. Students learn strategies for design, such as creative thinking, conceptual blockbusting, and (re)definition of the design goal, in the context of contemporary chemical and biomolecular engineering. Includes methods for analyzing designs, such as mathematical modeling, empirical analysis by graphics, and dynamic scaling through dimensional analysis, to assess product quality, economics, safety, and environmental issues.

Outcome 1: Ability to analyze and design chemical processes that span molecular to macroscopic scales. (a, c, e, f, h, i, k)

Outcome 2: Exhibit interpersonal skills that are necessary in a professional environment. (a, b, c, d)

Outcome 3: Understand the societal and cultural impact of engineering. (f, h, j)
