COURSE  DESCRIPTION

Definition and history of engineering, Chemical Engineering basic concepts, i.e. synthesis, analysis, system, process, raw materials, products etc. The engineer as a professional, ideals and obligations. The engineering approach to problem solving, creative thought process. Obstacles to creative thinking, proactive engineer, importance of written and oral communication.



COURSE OBJECTIVES

    * To define engineering formation and engineering problem solving tools

    * To instill an ability to design a process to match that of human needs

    * To develop communication skills                                 

    * To instill professional ethics

    * To instill an ability to work with others

    * To provide opportunities to learn contemporary issues and understand the  

       impact of engineering solutions in a global and societal context

 

COURSE REQUIREMENT

 

At least 70-course attendance is a must. Students are highly encouraged to do homework sets and prepare the project. Students repeating the course are not expected to attend to lectures; however, they should turn in homework sets, the project and participate in presentation as regular. Under 50 (over 100) in final exam is regarded as an unsuccessful overall grade (i.e. F3), regardless of the earned credits of the midterm exam, homework and the project.
