Overview
This module will introduce students to the principles of heat transfer and fluid mechanics with particular
emphasis on applications in chemical and process engineering systems. The material covered will build upon the
intoductory treatment of both topics at Level 2 and will introduce the student to the basic elements of
chemical process design. Homework assignments will be structured so as to test and develop problem-solving
skills across a range of practical engineering configurations.
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.
