CPO 732

The methodology to develop chemical products involves assessing needs, generating ideas, sorting and screening ideas, development of good ideas, and assessment of manufacturing methods. Engineering principles must be used to estimate whether the performance of the product will meet requirements, and involves the application of e.g. thermodynamics of mixing, phase equilibrium, solutions, surface chemistry, diffusion, and transport properties. Students will choose a need for suitable chemical product, and implement the product design process and techniques to arrive at a unique product that meets the need. Students will present their projects both orally and as a written report.
