Course Description We equip students with creative engineering problem-solving techniques and fundamental chemical engineering material balance skills. Lectures, laboratory experiments, and recitation sessions are designed to provide coordinated training and experience in data analysis, material property estimation for single- and multi-phase systems, basic process flowsheeting, reactive and non-reactive mass balances, problem solving strategies and tools, and team dynamics. The course is targeted for CIT freshmen.

Office Hours: Prof. Schneider TAs

Tu 3-4pm (DH 3109) W 6:30-7:30 pm (DH 1102)

Feel free to contact any of us by e-mail for an appointment in person or on Zoom Required Text: “Elementary Principles of Chemical Processes” by R. M. Felder, R. W. Rousseau, and L. Bullard, 4th edition (John Wiley & Sons, ISBN 978-0470616291). The workbook is not required but has some useful study material.

Course Objectives This course will introduce you to what chemical engineering is and provide you with some of the core tools needed to solve chemical engineering problems. A detailed list of instructional objectives is available on the course webpage. Course Structure 1. Lectures: The lectures will be used to explain the course material and solve example problems. You will frequently be asked to participate in lectures by working on portions of example problems before we discuss them as a class. Questions during lectures are welcome and encouraged – if something is not clear, ask! 2. Recitations: During recitations, you will work on problems related to the course material with the aid of Prof. Schneider and the TAs. All work done in recitations will be performed in teams. You must attend recitation to receive a grade for the recitation problems. 3. Homework assignments: There will be 11 homework assignments, assigned in weekly intervals, through the semester. Homework will be performed in the same teams that you work with in recitations and in the laboratory. Detailed information about the format for the homework, and the homework assignments themselves, are available separately. See the file homework_info.pdf on the course website. 4. Exams: This course will have 3 exams and a cumulative final exam. Please read the scheduling policy on the course web page if you suspect you may have another exam that conflicts with these times. No make-up exams will be given except under highly restrictive circumstances. Team Activities Almost all of the activities in this class will be performed in teams. You will form your own teams of 5 students during our first recitation. The primary reason for working in teams is that almost all work in industry and research is done in teams, so it is vital that you learn the personal skills necessary to function effectively in a team environment. All team members will receive the same grade for all team activities. These include recitation problems and projects. If possible, we will re-form the homework teams throughout the semester to give you an opportunity to work with different people. You will be given a chance to assess the performance of each team member (including yourself) and this assessment will be incorporated into your final grade.

06-100: Introduction to Chemical Engineering Course Web Page There is a blackboard webpage for this course; if you are properly registered, you should be able to access the page at http://www.cmu.edu/canvas. Contact Prof. Schneider or the TA’s if you have trouble accessing this webpage. Grading All items are graded on a percentage basis, and those percentages are weighted to yield a final percentage grade as shown below. Every team member will receive the same grade for the items marked with asterisk. Note that roughly one-third of the total grade will be earned by group activities. The only exception to this policy is that team members who do not attend a recitation or laboratory session will receive a zero grade for that session.
