Cours
Chemical engineering lab & project
ChE-409
Familiarisation avec les aspects pratiques rencontrés dans le génie de la réaction chimique. Un projet de recherche est mené durant douze semaines, faisant appel à une étroite collaboration entre les groupes.
Energy systems engineering
ChE-304
Ce cours donnera aux étudiants les outils nécessaires pour analyzer et comprendre un system de production d'énergie renouvelable. Les principales technologies de production d'énergie renouvelable seront également introduites et expliquées.
Heterogeneous reaction engineering
ChE-403
Ce cours traite des aspects théoriques et pratiques des réactions hétérogènes, y compris les notions de bases de la catalyse hétérogène. Les fondamentaux sont établis, permettant la conception des réacteurs à multiphasiques.
