Pharmaceutical Engineering Fundamentals II.

Catalog description

Semester course; 3 lecture hours (delivered online or face-to-face). 3 credits. Enrollment is restricted to graduate students or senior undergraduate students, or by permission of the instructor. An introductory course designed to expose the students to basic concepts in materials balance, thermodynamics, reaction kinetics and transport processes applied to pharmaceutical processes. Students will be exposed to common problem-solving strategies common to pharmaceutical engineering problems and various tools (software) used to enhance their ability to solve these problems. These introductory steps will provide students with the required tools to address mass balance and thermodynamic problems; tools to design reaction systems for the production of active pharmaceutical ingredients; and fundamental transport properties for the design systems for the purification and separation of active pharmaceutical ingredients.
