CHME 4703 — Chemical Process Design Capstone

4 semester hoursUndergraduateLectureNUpath CENUpath EINUpath WIusually offered: fall, springtypical days: MBostonTraditional

Offers students an opportunity to participate in an open-ended, project-based design course where teams design innovative solutions of a comprehensive chemical process. Considers public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors. Students apply engineering knowledge from their undergraduate academic studies to design a chemical process that handles mass and energy balances. Requires proof of concept data from prototypes, experiments, or simulations of the process to show the design is feasible and that use of the data improves the design. Team presentations, in multiple formats, are shared with the chemical engineering community for feedback and evaluation. Requires multiple progress reports, submitted by the team, which results in the final design report at the end of the semester.
