ATTENDANCE POLICY: Don’t skip class. If you have to miss
class, let me know in advance.
CLASSROOM POLICY:
Students having documentation of special needs must submit Accommodation
Request Form to the Disability Services Office. Discuss these needs with the
instructor so that the proper accommodations can be made.
ETHICAL CONDUCT: Copying answers from other students or
from any other source is not considered ethical behavior.
CELL PHONE and TEXTING
POLICY: All cell
phones must be turned off unless you are expecting a genuine emergency call in
which case your phone must be put on vibrate. If you receive a call you are to
take the call outside of class. Absolutely no text messaging is permitted
during class. Your cell is not to be used for any purpose in class unless
authorized by the instructor.

CHE 2011. Chemical and Biological Engineering
Process Analysis. Lec. 3. Lab. 2. Credit 4.
Prerequisites: ENGR 1120, CHEM 1120, MATH 1910. Quantitative descriptions of
chemical and biological engineering systems. Conservation of mass and energy
for single and multi-process units as well as for reactive and non-reactive
systems. Lab introduces report writing and basic measurement techniques.
OBJECTIVES (what the course intends to achieve)
Outcomes (what students should learn):
Outcomes have been mapped to ABET Criterion 3.
Requirements (what will be measured/assessed):
Performance Criteria (mapping the requirements to the outcomes):
Assessment (how student performance will be assessed):
Each requirement will be assessed using one or more of the performance criteria. The following table maps the relationship between Outcomes, Requirements and Performance Criteria:

Since each requirement has several performance criteria mapped to it, each requirement will be assessed in several ways. For example, since exams (requirement 3) map to performance criterion (a, e and g), each exam will have four scores assessing and measuring the students' ability to:
Similarly, each of the other four requirements will be assessed against their respective ABET outcomes.
All requirements will be graded by the instructor or qualified teaching assistants.

COURSE OUTLINE (mandatory readings and nominal schedule)
* Readings will be assigned on an ongoing basis at the beginning of each new text chapter being covered. Readings should be done on an ongoing basis as we move though the course materials.
Note that: (bio) indicates a biological system; (comp) indicates that some form of computer program or tool must be used; in some cases special instructions are also given in the parenthesis, i.e. (solve using MathCad or MatLab or a software of your choice)

HOMEWORK SCHEDULE and INSTRUCTIONS
Homework will consist of assigned problems and will be taken very seriously as part of the grade. Problem sets will be assigned ongoing during classroom periods. Problems assigned during any week will be due on the Monday of the following week unless otherwise stated. No credit will be given for late submission of homework. All problems must be solved using appropriate software as specified at the time of assignment. All computer programs must be submitted in electronic via e-mail or on a suitable disc format, i.e. CD.
All homework problems are from the
October 21, 2011 version of the text!
Some tips for home works:
You homework will be collected on
the day it is due. The TA will give you
one point for each problem that has a complete or nearly complete solution
regardless of whether or not the problem is correct. Your paper will be returned to you on the
following class (not lab) period. You
will then have until the next class period to grade your own assignment. Give yourself 10 points for each totally
correct answer regardless of the length or complexity of the problem. A totally correct answer must include the
following:
1.
A
correct solution with all solution steps shown (8 points)
2.
A
correct answer (2 points)
If your answer is wrong, your score
falls to 8 point. If any part of the
solution is wrong, then give yourself partial credit according to what fraction
of the solution you have correct.
The TA will audit your self-grading
and you will be notified if you are too liberal or too strict. If you are habitually too liberal, the
instructor will be notified.
PROJECTS
Project No. 1 – Safety Survey
Project No. 2 – Mass Continuity for a System Containing One Component
Project No. 3 – optional at the discretion of the instructor
Project Requirements:
All projects will require some form of written and oral report. If a computer program is required, submit a hard copy of your model output along with a disc.
Assessment of the Project:
Your project will be assessed for communications (10%), knowledge (15%), formulation (15%), experimentation (40 %), use of computer tools (15% where applicable else the breakdown will be renormalized) and your ability to work effectively as a team member (5%).
Each exam will have questions pertaining to basic knowledge, formulation and communication.
All exams will be open book and open note. Only the final will be comprehensive. There may be a take-home exam.
Quizzes will be given every Friday
unless an exam or other major project is due.
The sum of all quiz scores will be included as a “mid-term” and so are part of the 45% allocated for “Exams.”
