Course Materialsche 31. Introduction To Chemical Engineering

Specializations in Chemical and Molecular Engineering Chemical and Molecular Engineer­ing students may choose from one of the eight specializations offered or, with the approval of a program director, create a custom specialization. Each specialization requires the completion of three technical elective courses at the 300-level or higher. Chemical engineering encompasses the translation of molecular information into discovery of new products and processes. It involves molecular transformations—chemical, physical, and biological—with multi-scale description from the submolecular to the macroscopic, and the analysis and synthesis of such systems.

Introduction to Chemical Engineering Calculations(Credit: 3 Units) The course is intended to provide students a clear overview of the field of chemical engineering and introduce them to the elementary principles involved in the analysis of chemical processes with emphasis on material and energy balance calculations as applied to steady-state chemical systems. History of Chemical Engineering 1882 –a course in 'Chemical Technology' is offered at University College London. 1885 –a course in 'chemical engineering' is offered at Central College (later Imperial College), London. 1888 –a new curriculum at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) started: Course X, Chemical Engineering.

Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering
