Presents a description, course outline, review articles and rationale for a course on Polymerization Reaction Engineering at Purdue University, Indiana. (JN)

Discusses a "process control" course in undergraduate chemical engineering. Describes current practices and philosophy and an outline for a course to be taught in the future. Appended are summaries of 12 participants' discussion. (YP)

Presents some principles for specifying general classes of polymers for predicting relative chemical attack from acids, bases, oxidants, and certain common antagonists. Also discusses predicting relative solvent effects. Suggests uses of this information in two or three lectures in a chemical engineering materials course. (YP)

This article focuses on the changes made in the undergraduate laboratory program of the first degree course in chemical engineering at the University of Bath (England). Describes experiments relating to the Engineering Applications 1 (EA1) requirements set by the Engineering Council. (YP)

Describes an undergraduate course in chemical engineering that details the technology of immobilized enzymes and cells. Includes the course rationale and purpose; the course outline when offered as an engineering elective in the biotechnology area; and discussion of appropriate text, selected real-world applications, and laboratory presentations.…

This course uses stability as a central theme around which to organize a wide range of reactor concerns. This approach brings together the subject matter of catalyst particles with that of well-stirred vessels and tubular reactor geometry. (Author/BB)

This course introduces graduate students and advanced undergraduates to coal science and technology. Topics include: (1) the nature and occurrence of coal, (2) its chemical and physical characteristics, (3) methods of cleaning and preparing coal, and (4) processes for converting coal into clean solid, liquid, and gaseous fuels, as well as coke.…

This course concentrates on a rigorous development of the multicomponent transport equations, boundary conditions at phase interfaces, and volume-averaged transport equations for multiphase reacting systems. (BB)
