| COURSE | DESCRIPTION |
| Biointerface – Protein & Cell Interactions with Materials (4200: 496/696) | This course provides an overview of the field of Biomaterials and the fundamental principles involved in protein and cell interactions with foreign materials. Students also learn the underlying cellular and molecular mechanisms in host response to biomaterials and various applications of biointerfaces. |
| Polymer Engineering(4200: 408) | This course fulfills a design elective in the chemical engineering curriculum as well as one of the design requirements for the polymer engineering specialization. Students learn the fundamentals of synthesizing polymers and processing polymeric materials by extrusion, molding, casting, fiber spinning, and other processes. |
| Transport Phenomena(4200: 321) | The objectives of the course are to provide students with abilities to describe transport processes mathematically, to understand and apply constitutive equations for momentum, heat and mass transfer, and to use analogies between momentum, heat, and mass transport in the analysis of engineering problems. |
| Chemical Engineering Laboratory(4200:360) | Lab activities related to polymer synthesis and reaction engineering. |
| Chemical Engineering Analysis – Solving ODE & PDE(4200: 631) | The objectives of this course are to provide students with abilities to solve ordinary differential equations (ODE) and partial differential equations (PDE) for chemical engineering applications. This course is a pre-course for graduate- level Transport Phenomena. |
| Chemical Engineering Computations – EXCEL(4200: 121) | The objectives of the course are to provide students with the ability to use EXCEL built-in functions, to chart data and analyze the data with curve fitting, to perform simple statistical analysis, to write sub-programs in Visual Basic Applications to enhance Excel’s capability in engineering calculations, and to use Excel to solve chemical engineering problems. |
