Summary

Introduction to Chemical Engineering is an introductory course that provides a basic overview of the chemical engineering field. It addresses the formulation and solution of material and energy balances by using the physical/chemical properties of materials.

an understanding of chemical and physical properties of materials

an ability to apply knowledge of mathematics to solve equations

Learning Outcomes

By the end of the course, the student must be able to:
  • Draw the flowchart of chemical processes for single and multiple unit operations and label all the streams
  • Identify the process variables and develop relationships between process variables
  • Analyze all the units by doing a degree of freedom (DOF) analysis
  • Specify the reactive and non-reactive systems
  • Formulate the mass and energy balances equations required to solve the system and calculate all the unknowns
  • Use tables and charts to pick up physical property data needed to solve material and energy balances
  • Report all the assumptions and engineering calculations and problem solutions in a stepwise manner

Transversal skills

  • Set objectives and design an action plan to reach those objectives.
  • Use a work methodology appropriate to the task.
  • Access and evaluate appropriate sources of information.
  • Give feedback (critique) in an appropriate fashion.

Teaching methods

Course Materialsche 31. Introduction To Chemical Engineering Flowchart

The course is presented using powerpoint slides. In the 2 first hours of the course the concepts are introduced and several examples are shown and the students are asked to work together for few minutes and then sugest the solution methods. Finally the solutions of the examples are shown. In the third hour (excercise session), several problems are given to students. They work on problems and ask questions for 30 minutes and then the solutions are given by assistants on the blackboard for the rest 30 minutes.

Expected student activities

Taking notes in the course hours

Working in groups to solve the examples given in the course hours

Solve the problems in the exercise hour

Assessment methods

This course provides a continious evaluation of the students. There are 3 written exams including the final exam. The first exam is a bonus exam and the second is the midterm exam.

Requirements for the Major in Chemical and Molecular Engineering

(Please see the latest version at http://sb.cc.stonybrook.edu/bulletin/current/academicprograms/cme/degreesandrequirements.php)

Introduction

Acceptance into the Major
Freshman and transfer applicants who have specified their interest in the major in Chemical and Molecular Engineering may be accepted directly into the major upon admission to the University. Applicants admitted to the University but not immediately accepted into the Chemical and Molecular Engineering major may apply for acceptance at any time during the academic year by contacting the director(s) of the undergraduate program. Final decisions on admission will be made by the undergraduate program director(s). Minimum requirements for acceptance are as follows:
1. Students must have a grade of B or higher in all 100-level mathematics, physics and chemistry courses required by the major. A grade of B- or better is required in CHE 321, CHE 383 or 327, and CME 304, unless permission to waive is granted by the undergraduate program director(s).
2. Students must have an overall GPA of 3.2 with not more than one grade of C+ or lower in any course, unless permission to waive is granted by the undergraduate program director(s).
3. Department must receive completed course evaluations for all transferred courses that are to be used to meet requirements of the major. A minimum of one semester, carrying a full-time load with a minimum of 12 credits in residence at Stony Brook University is required for all transfer students.

Requirements for the Major
The curriculum begins with a focus on mathematics, physics, and chemistry, followed by courses covering specific chemical engineering topics as well as an intensive laboratory sequence. In addition, each student chooses a three-course sequence at the 300 level or above (four courses if admitted prior to Fall 2012) as an area of specialization which may also qualify the student for a minor in the respective department. The program culminates in the submission and acceptance of a senior thesis describing an original research project completed by the student which is defended at the end of the senior year. Students are encouraged to select original research projects which can be published in peer reviewed journals.


Completion of the major requires approximately 100 credits.

5. 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 (students who entered the program before Fall 2012 are required to complete four specialization courses). Specializations must be chosen by the end of the Sophomore semester.

6. Upper-Division Writing Requirement:
CME 300 Writing in Chemical and Molecular Engineering
All degree candidates must demonstrate skill in written English at a level acceptable for engineering majors. All Chemical and Molecular Engineering students must complete the writing course CME 300 concurrently with CME 310. The quality of writing in technical reports submitted for CME 310 is evaluated, and students whose writing does not meet the required standard are referred for remedial help. Satisfactory writing warrants an S grade for CME 300, thereby satisfying the requirement.
