CHEMENG 65Q: Chemical Engineering for Sustainability

Do you want to make the world more sustainable? How will we address the tremendous challenges that climate change brings? How can we reduce carbon emissions and not have huge disruptions in society? This class is for anyone who wants to create sustainable alternatives to what we use every day: engineers, scientists, those in humanities and the arts. Everyone has a role to play in designing our future. We will learn how to make the world more sustainable by exploring the exciting new world of (chemical) engineering sustainability. We will discuss renewable diesel and jet fuels; synthetic meat; compostable plastics; building materials that save energy; direct capture of carbon from the air; biological pharmaceuticals; and advanced recycling operations. The class starts with a brief overview of the deep cuts in carbon emissions and other pollutants that will be needed. Then, we focus on how sustainable (chemical) engineering can provide a solution, visiting four companies who are changing more »

Then, we focus on how sustainable (chemical) engineering can provide a solution, visiting four companies who are changing the world. Students will leave the class with an appreciation of how sustainable (chemical) engineering can help address climate change's substantial challenges, and perhaps an internship with one of the companies we visit. High school chemistry (balancing a chemical equation) and high school physics (unit conversions) are recommended for this course.

CHEMENG 110B: Multi-Component and Multi-Phase Thermodynamics

Statistical mechanics for mixtures of ideal gases and simple liquids, covering both closed and open ensembles, is introduced. Molecular interactions underlying the non-ideal gaseous and liquid properties and nontrivial equations of states are surveyed. Chemical potential is introduced and emphasized as the essential concept for understanding the cause of solution instability and the criteria for phase equilibria. In particular, the vapor-liquid equilibria for non-ideal mixtures are discussed, and the basic modeling approach for describing the realistic mixture behavior such as azeotrope is explained. The connection of chemical potential with fugacity and activity is discussed. The applications of the established framework to reactive mixtures and to interfacial properties between coexisting phases are explored. Prerequisite: CHEMENG 110A or equivalent.

Through a series of in-classroom presentations and interviews - with professors, entrepreneurs, executives, athletes, investors, and thought leaders from diverse fields and sectors - students will gain important knowledge and practical strategies, with course modules on topics such as ideation and innovation, the skill of self-advocacy, the fundamentals of negotiation, building and managing teams, and effective communication and storytelling. Additional modules will focus on biotechnology and deep tech start-up companies, as well as strategies for cultivating a successful academic career. The idea for this course emerged from the instructor's reflections on 30 years of research, teaching, mentorship, and deep entrepreneurial experiences spanning the gamut of approaches to translational science - academic discovery, invention, conceiving of and leading multi-institutional research centers, building research and business teams, launching and financing start-ups, building business models to advance real-world applications of cutting-edge science, and seeing through research-based companies to success (including growing an idea into a multi-billion dollar company). For this course, students will be expected to complete relevant reading assignments, participate actively in class dialogue, and complete regular writing assignments focused on course topics as they relate to ones own career-building needs and professional aspirations. Students may also have opportunities to lead class discussions on topics of interest.
