Introductory

Introduction to Geology

minerals, igneous rocks, volcanoes, weathering, erosion, soils, sediment & sedimentary rocks, metamorphism & metamorphic rocks, mass wasting/movement, running & groundwater, shorelines, glaciers, wind & deserts, geologic time, deformation & mountain building, earthquakes, plate tectonics, application of relative ages

Geology of the National Parks

groundwater pollution, biodiversity, volcanic hazards, etc, what is and is not believable about science, those subjects on which scientists are usually correct and those on which scientists have no special expertise

Climate change

explores climate change and global warming, how the Earth’s global mean surface temperature is determined, natural greenhouse effect and how this contributes to a balanced global climate, human impact on the atmosphere including the impact of industrialisation & other sources of greenhouse gases connected to humans, means of measuring climate change

Introduction to Environmental Engineering

introduction, mass & energy fundamentals, physical chemistry & principles, organic chemistry, microbiology & microbial growth, erosion control & stormwater management, water, waste, air pollution, global events

Uncertainty in Engineering

probability & statistics with emphasis on applications, events & probability, Bayes' theorem, random variables & vectors, distributions, Bernoulli trials & Poisson point processes, full-distribution uncertainty propagation, second-moment representation, propagation, conditional analysis, random sampling, estimation, hypothesis testing, linear regression

Integrated Chemical Engineering (Process Control by Design)

various chemical engineering problems in an industrial context, integration of fundamentals with material property estimation, process control, product development, computer simulation, integration of societal issues such as engineering ethics, environmental & safety considerations, impact of technology on society in the context of case studies: tools

Chemical and Biological Reaction Engineering

concepts of reaction rate, stoichiometry and equilibrium applied to the analysis of chemical and biological reacting systems, derivation of rate expressions from reaction mechanisms and equilibrium or steady state assumptions, design of chemical and biochemical reactors via synthesis of chemical kinetics, transport phenomena, and mass and energy balances: readings

Chemical Reaction Engineering

fundamentals of chemical reaction engineering (rate laws, kinetics, mechanisms of homogeneous and heterogeneous reactions, analysis of rate data, multiple reactions, adiabatic and non-adiabatic reactors and multiple reactions with heat effects), Emphasis on logic rather than memorization of equations and the conditions to which they apply
