CHE 420 Chemical Engineering Laboratory III

 

Credit Structure:(0-4)2

 

Catalog Description:
Intensive laboratory experiments to illustrate the application of chemical and physical principles to chemical processes. Emphasis is given to mass transfer, simultaneous heat and mass transfer, process control and instrumental analysis. Report writing is emphasized.

 

Course Objectives:
This course is designed to familiarize the senior year students with the operations of pilot plant size equipment utilized in chemical plants and to serve as a link between theory and practice for unit operations of various kinds. abilities to communicate effectively and to function effectively within teams; a solid understanding of professional and ethical responsibility; an understanding of the impact of chemical engineering in a global and environmental context, consistent with the principles of sustainable development; an awareness of the need for, and ability to engage life-long learning; an ability to use modern engineering techniques, skills and tools for engineering design.
