Course Description and Policies Objectives The overall goal of this course is to introduce the qualitative and quantitative concepts and methods of chemical engineering that provide a foundation for the more focused topical courses that follow over the next three years of the curriculum. The principal objective is to develop the facility to set up and solve chemical engineering problems using the principles of conservation of material and energy. These efforts will require auxiliary topics such as constitutive relations, proper use of units and the importance of length and time scales. Furthermore, since the language of engineering is mathematics, knowledge of and the ability to use calculus and algebra for setting up and solving problems is paramount. A secondary objective is to develop a descriptive familiarity with such core concepts as different unit operations and the nature and structure of chemical processes, products and industries. Prerequisite MATH 242 (may be taken concurrently). Required Textbooks Chemical Engineering: An Introduction by Denn, Cambridge, 1st ed. (2012) ISBN 9781107669376. Introduction to Steady-State Material and Energy Balances by Felder, Rousseau, and Bullard, Wiley Custom, any ed. ISBN 9781119373346 or 9781119573944. [Note: the Wiley Custom text is an excerpt from the more expensive Elementary Principles of Chemical Processes by Felder, Rousseau, and Bullard, Wiley, 4th ed. (2015) ISBN 9781119192138.]

Canvas and Email The course will make use of Canvas for posting of course handouts, homework solutions, and other important information. While Canvas enables direct messaging, we will not monitor that regularly. It is best to use [email protected]. When emailing, please write from your udel.edu email address. Course content and tentative schedule It is in your best interest to read the week’s listed chapters prior to class, so that we can best use our time together. Additional reading guidance will often be given toward the end of the previous class. The schedule below is tentative and subject to revision. We will notify you of any significant changes in class and on Canvas. Homework will always be assigned at least one week in advance, so for example, HW 1 will be assigned on or before Thursday, 13 February.

Grading Homework sets (nine at even weighting) Quizzes (six problems at 3% each) Midterm exams (two at 20% each) Final exam Participation and professionalism

10% 18% 40% 30% 2%

Cutoffs for grades will be determined at the end of the semester, in case there are unexpected issues with any given quizzes or exams, but otherwise rough cutoffs will be communicated occasionally during the semester. There is no way to earn a passing grade in the course if either your average homework or average exam grade is below a 50%. An approximation of your “grade to date” will be communicated before midterm grades are due to the registrar. Requests to regrade individual items (homework, quiz, exam) must be made in writing (a computergenerated page or email is fine). This writing must explain in clear detail the reason for the regrade request. The entire item must be returned, and the entire item will be regraded. Requests must be made within two weeks of the recitation section in which the item in question was originally returned.

Homework Problem sets will be handed out weekly and should be handed in (at course lectures) no later than 2:00 pm on the due date; submissions after class has begun will not receive a grade. Your submissions should have each problem starting on a new page (and should only use one side of the page). Do not staple pages together, as the problems are graded by a team of graders who need to separate one problem from the next. Your name, recitation section number, problem and page number must be printed neatly at the top of each page of your assignment. These policies are in place to prepare you for the rigor of future CHEG courses and to keep us organized so that you get feedback on your work in a timely manner. You may choose to work on homework assignments individually or in groups. The impact of homework assignments on your grade is determined much more by the influence the experience has on your exam performance than by the numerical grade given for the homework problems. Make sure that you maximize your learning experience by balancing the extent to which you rely on group input versus your individual effort. If you work in a group, each member must prepare his/her own written answers based on the group discussion, and list all the members at the beginning of the problem. Simply duplicating a group member’s solution is academic misconduct. Recitation The Thursday sessions (listed as lab in your schedule) are recitation sessions that allow for further open-ended problem-solving with the instructors and teaching assistants. Attendance is expected unless arrangements are made in advance with the instructors. Due to some room capacity restrictions, you must attend the recitation you registered for, unless given explicit permission or direction in advance. Make-up exams No make-up quizzes or exams will be given, because they constitute a different assessment taken at a different time by only a few students. If you have a valid excuse (according to University rules) to miss a quiz or exam, the grade for the missed item will be prorated such that the other quizzes or exams will carry an appropriately increased percentage of your overall course grade. If you miss any assessment without acceptable justification you will be assigned a zero. If you have acceptable justification to miss the final exam, you must make arrangements prior to the exam to take it at another time. A note with contact information from the attending physician is required in case of medical excuses. Professionalism and Academic Integrity We should all treat one another with respect and professionalism, and any deliberate disruption to our learning environment is considered disrespectful. Everyone is expected to arrive to class meetings on time, and the use of electronic devices in any manner that distracts others in the room is prohibited. It is your responsibility to be current on reading material and to check Canvas and obtain notes from a colleague in the case of an absence. If you attend class regularly, complete assignments honestly, avoid baselessly fishing for higher grades, and treat everyone in the course professionally, this component of your grade will be set to the same percentage as the rest of your grade. Otherwise, it may be lowered. Everyone should make themselves familiar with UD policies regarding academic integrity (see http://sites.udel.edu/studentconduct/academic-integrity/). The falsification of one’s research, use of words or ideas of another, cheating on an assignment, resubmission of the same work for different classes, and the allowance or assistance of others to commit these acts corrupts the educational process. Part of HW #1 will explore our policies on integrity in more detail. Students are expected to do their own work and neither give nor receive unauthorized assistance. Adverse Weather and Other Emergencies In the event that the university is closed or class is otherwise unexpectedly cancelled, any work that is due will be collected in class on the first session we meet again. Course content for cancelled class sessions may be delivered via Canvas or Zoom Conferences, and everyone is responsible for any content delivered in this manner. If an exam is scheduled for the day the university closes, it will be held in the first class session that the university is open, unless you are notified otherwise via Canvas and/or email.
