Overview
This module will introduce students to a variety of topics in industrial and applied chemistry so as to
complement and facilitate their chemical engineering studies. Topics that will be dealt with are
(a) principles and modern aspects of colloidal systems and nanomaterials,
(b) understanding surfaces and interfaces and its relevance to chemical reactions,
(c) structure and applications of materials like catalysts and liquid crystals,
(d) Modern Electrochemical systems,
(e) Chemical balance in nature, exploitation of natural materials and industrial processing of selected materials, including hydrocarbons and biomass. The course content will be periodically updated based on the recent research trends in the respective fields.
Course Disclaimer
Courses and course hours of instruction are subject to change.
Credits earned vary according to the policies of the students' home institutions. According to ISA policy and possible visa requirements, students must maintain full-time enrollment status, as determined by their home institutions, for the duration of the program.
ECTS (European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System) credits are converted to semester credits/quarter units differently among U.S. universities. Students should confirm the conversion scale used at their home university when determining credit transfer.
Please reference fall and spring course lists as not all courses are taught during both semesters.
Please note that some courses with locals have recommended prerequisite courses. It is the student's responsibility to consult any recommended prerequisites prior to enrolling in their course.
