Contribution of Course to Meeting the Professional Component

This course partially fulfills the requirement of two and half years of engineering topics (engineering science and design) under professional components (Criterion 4) as required by the ABET.
 
 

Relationship of Course to Program Objectives

In this course, students learn to apply molecular physics to the essential concepts of energy and entropy balances, which lie at the heart of process engineering calculations. These tools will be useful to prepare students for problems widely encountered in the chemical engineering profession. The course also provides the basis for Process Engineering (155:415), Design of Separation Processes (155:423), and Chemical Engineering Kinetics (155:441), all core courses offered at the senior level.
