Our Senior laboratory is (or can be) one
of the CAPSTONE courses in your education in Chemical Engineering. It
exposes you to a series of experiments that demonstrate the principles that
you have learned in your classes. Each experiment reflects a combination of
concepts that you have learned in different courses, e.g., thermodynamics,
mass balances, fluids, heat & mass transfer, kinetics, separations,
control and design, etc.. Specific examples such as polymerization,
catalysis and bioengineering are represented in the experiments, which
reflect the applications of Chemical Engineering in industry and research.
You will learn to apply combinations of principles you have seen to real
processes. You will find that there are often many practical differences
between the idealized theories that you learned in class and the
realization of these concepts. This is a crucial aspect to your education.
The concepts are sound and correct. As an engineer, you are challenged to
evaluate the application of these principles to complex processes. More...
