Introduction to Chemical Engineering Basics

This document provides an introduction to the ChE 2 Elementary Chemical Engineering course. It begins with a class survey that found students' top learning styles are active, reflective, sensing, and intuitive. The document then defines chemical engineering as applying scientific principles to develop economic processes, outlines the course objectives in familiarizing students with key concepts, and gives an overview of the topics to be covered including mass and energy balances, thermodynamics, separation processes, and process control. It also discusses the chemical industry and provides a case study of new product development to illustrate chemical engineering's role.

What do you know about ChE?
Honestly, that chemical engineering is the hardest engineering. So I am a

bit scared about taking this course.


It makes a lot of money
focuses on applying knowledge in math, physics, and chemistry to convert
different raw materials into desired products in an economic way.

What is ChE 2?
Course Description:
Introduction to chemical engineering principles, mass and energy balance calculations
Course Objectives: At the end of the course, you should
be familiar with chemical, physical and mathematical principles essential to
chemical engineering,
apply basic chemical engineering concepts and principles in solving problems
related to other disciplines
be able to discuss typical unit operations and unit processes in the chemical
industry, and
appreciate the professional and ethical responsibilities of chemical engineers as
fellow engineers
