Assigned Department Objectives
Teaching Method
Outline:
Chemical engineering is a field of engineering that deals with the operation and design of chemical plants. This course introduces (1) quantity and units and (2) material and energy balance, as important concepts in chemical engineering.
Style:
Assignments will be given for each lecture. The assignments will help you review and prepare for the lecture.
Some quizzes will be given during the class. Please remember to bring your calculator.
Notice:
Repeat the examples until you can solve them correctly and ensure your understanding.
Be sure to master the mindset of applying principles to solve problems rather than memorizing answers.
If you have any questions, please ask them in class.
Attitude is also a factor in scoring.
No questions will be accepted during the exam period.
