CHE 5113 Data Science for Engineers
2023 Fall, 2025 Fall (scheduled)
Course Prerequisite: Graduate standing, or instructor permission
Course Description: This course provides an overview of data science techniques for chemical engineers. The course will broadly cover a variety of advances in data collection, data storage, visualization, and introduces a broad array of machine learning techniques (e.g., supervised, unsupervised, etc.) and applications (e.g., regression, dimensionality reduction, classification) to chemical data sets with a focus on practical examples in chemical engineering. Good programming practices are discussed. Students will need to be comfortable with scientific programming using Python.
CHE 5063 Sustainable Energy Applications
2023 Spring, 2024 Fall (scheduled)
Course Prerequisite: Graduate standing, or instructor permission
Course Description: This course presents the fundamental concepts of thermal-, electro-, and photo-catalysis and then builds on that knowledge to cover important sustainable energy conversion applications. Topics to be covered include fuel cells, water electrolyzers, CO2 conversion to valuable fuels and chemicals, ammonia synthesis, batteries, and other state-of-the-art technologies.
