Teaching




ChE 110B Chemical Engineering Thermodynamics   
Extension of Chemical Engineering 110A to cover mixtures and multiphase equilibrium. Liquid-vapor separations calculations are emphasized. Introduction to equations of state for mixtures.





ChE 140A Chemical Reaction Engineering       
Kinetics of homogeneous and heterogeneous reacting systems, with and without catalysis, and its use in predicting chemical conversion and selectivity in flow and nonflow reactors. Emphasis on the dynamic behavior and design considerations of chemical reactors





ChE 240A Advanced Chemical Reaction Engineering    
Following review of the theory of reaction kinetics for catalyzed and noncatalyzed systems, detailed consideration is given to design and performance of catalysts and chemical reactors. Mathematical studies of stability and optimization are emphasized in relationship to mass, energy, and momentum transport.





ChE 246 Advanced Catalysis       
Theories of reaction rates. Heterogeneous and homogenous catalysis, including physical structure and characterization of catalysts. Catalyst poisoning.



ChE 594 Special Topics: Writing a Scientific Paper 
Examine the logical structure of scientific journal articles, describe the process of articulating and refining a compelling technical story, and identify strategies for effective writing. Engage in extensive, guided, hands-on practice in constructing their own article through writing, rewriting, and providing feedback to other course participants.

Chem 2 C General Chemistry (Honors) 
Structure and dynamics of the elements and their compounds. Aspects of technology and environmental problems.
