Offered at ECC, MVC, RLC
Elementary Chemical Engineering
This is a Texas Common Course Number.
Prerequisite Required: ENGR 1201, CHEM 1412, MATH 2414 and PHYS 2425.
Course Description: This course is the foundation for nearly all future chemical engineering courses and analysis. A strong foundation in mathematics, physics, and chemistry is required for application to the solution of problems in industrial chemistry. Students will receive an introduction to chemical engineering calculations, unit equations, process stoichiometry, material and energy balances, and states of matter, and will apply the laws of conservation of mass and energy to reacting and non-reacting, simple and complex chemical systems.
