Chemical Engineering Design Project

Catalog description

Students work in small groups on projects in conjunction with external companies. The projects are defined by the company, and involve real issues current at the company. All projects will involve design (i.e., open ended problems with no one solution or route), an economic analysis, and will account for possible safety and environmental issues. The nature of the projects varies, depending on the needs of each company. There are no lectures for this course, and students are expected to work on their project for an amount appropriate for a 3-credit course (10 hrs/week). Recommended preparation: ECHE 362 , ECHE 365 , and ECHE 398 . Counts as a SAGES Senior Capstone course. Prereq: ECHE 360 , ECHE 361 , ECHE 364 , and ECHE 367 .
