This course combines the concepts of mass balances, reaction rates, stoichiometry, and chemical equilibrium to introduce the fundamentals of chemical reactor design. Isothermal, uncatalyzed homogeneous reactions are considered initially, but more complex reactions, including heterogeneous, catalyzed reactions and biological reactions are also considered. Approaches to kinetic data acquisition and analysis techniques are presented, and then combined with knowledge of reaction mechanisms or the pseudo-state hypothesis to develop nonelementary rate laws. The course ends with nonisothermal reactor design. 400-level is for graduates only. Prerequisites:CHE 113, MTH 165, CHE 225, CHE 244

This course teaches the principles of modern cell and tissue engineering with a focus on understanding and manipulating the interactions between cells and their environment. After a brief overview of Cell and Tissue Engineering, the course covers 5 areas of the field. These are: 1) Physiology for Tissue Engineering; 2) Bioreactors and Biomolecule Production; 3) Materials for Tissue Engineering; 4) Cell Cultures and Bioreactors and 5) Drug Delivery and Drug Discovery. Within each of these topics the emphasis is on analytical skills and instructors will assume knowledge of chemistry, mass transfer, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics and physiology consistent with the Cell and Tissue Engineering Track in BME. In a term project, students must present written and oral reports on a developing or existing application of Cell and Tissue Engineering. The reports must address the technology behind the application, the clinical need and any ethical implications. YOU MUST REGISTER FOR A RECITATION AND A LABWHEN REGISTERING FOR THE MAIN COURSE. Prerequisites: BME 260, CHE225 (or ME123), CHE243 (or ME225), CHE244 and one of the following Cell Biology courses: BME211, BME411, BIO202 or BIO210; or permission of instructor.

The course is a process simulation course that covers the conceptualization, analysis, and design of chemical processes. The course requires the use of computational methods/tools such as Python, and students will learn to use AspenHYSYS®, a commercial chemical process simulation software tool. The course will be divided into three parts. First, students will learn to interpret, draw, and analyze block and process flow diagrams as an effective way to communicate process information. The class will cover the synthesis and optimization of chemical processes. Students will design processes involving multiple unit operations, and they will model the process to find a converged solution using AspenHYSYS® software. The final module will cover engineering economics as well as health and safety considerations. The course runs the first half of the semester
