Courses
Introduction to chemical engineering Laboratory Works
ChE-203
This course aims to expose the students to basic and modern processes/systems important to chemical engineers. Students perform experiments in groups, analyze results and use these to design industrial scale processes. Written and oral reports and laboratory performance are used for the final mark
Introduction to transport phenomena
ChE-204
This course aims at understanding the basic equations behind macroscopic and microscopic transport phenomena (mass, heat and momentum).
Nanomaterials for chemical engineering application
ChE-430
This course provides an overview on nanoparticle synthesis and their use in different energy-related applications. The first part of the course is more fundamental and chemistry oriented. The second part is more applied and chemical engineering oriented. The goal is to link the two aspects.
