Chemical and Biological Engineering Courses
Introduction to the manufacture, processing, and applications of organic polymeric materials. This course covers the chemistry of polymer manufacture, the molecular structures of polymers, and the structure-property relationships for thermoplastic and thermosetting polymers.
A survey of common software, data processing, and statistical analysis tools applied to chemical engineering, science, and general interest topics. This course covers the fundamentals of computer programming (coding) and problem solving for chemical engineering students. Offered primarily in the fall semester.
This course will give introductory knowledge of stem cell biology and various bioengineering approaches used for their study and application.
Tissue engineering is an emerging dynamic, experimental science in which engineering and biological science principles are used to develop techniques for improving or restoring the structure and function of tissue.
Health and safety in the chemical process industry that will introduce chemical engineering students to health and safety, regulations and the designs and procedures to meet them in the chemical process. Advanced topics will also be introduced, including current relevant topics such as recent accidents and ways and means of preventing a reoccurrence, advanced models of spills and advanced safety analysis. Several loss prevention topics are more complex than typically assigned to the undergraduate chemical engineering students. Advanced topics may include recent accidents and ways and means of preventing a reoccurrence, advanced models of spills and advanced safety analysis. Greater analysis, synthesis and evaluation-of-knowledge skills will be required.
Study of biological processes, application of chemical engineering skills to areas including enzyme kinetics, fermentation, cell growth, and metabolic processes.
Application of thermodynamic principles to chemical and phase equilibria.
Development of the analogy between momentum, energy, and mass transport, with applications.
Chemical-engineering applications of advanced calculus, numerical methods, and digital computer techniques, with emphasis on expressing physical situations in mathematical language.
Chemical kinetics theory and experimental techniques. Industrial reactor design by advanced methods.
This course is an introduction to research skills required to perform scientific research in Chemical and Biological Engineering. Topics covered will primarily be related to research skill development, such as literature search, data processing, scientific critical analysis and effective scientific communication, both written and oral. Students will receive structured guidance from the class instructor (s), chemical engineering faculty, and their class peers throughout the semester.
Open to properly qualified graduate students. Advanced work of a research nature. Credit is based on the amount of work completed.

This independent research course partially fulfills required master's-level research thesis hours toward the master's degree in chemical engineering. The course is conducted under the guidance of the thesis advisor. Material covered will be of an advanced nature aimed at providing master's students with an understanding of the latest research and current developments within the field. Discussion and advisor guidance will be directed towards readings of research articles and development of research methodology, with the aim of producing an original research contribution that represents a novel development in the field, or a novel perspective on a pre-existing topic in the field.
Problems of current research.
