GRADUATE CATALOG - The Petroleum Institute

Graduate Catalog | Academic Year 2013 – 2014Further details of the coursework requirements are outlined in the following table:Master of Engineering in Chemical EngineeringCore CoursesCredit HoursCHEG 511 Advanced Reaction Engineering 3CHEG 520 Mathematical Methods in Chemical Engineering 3CHEG 522 Advanced Chemical Engineering Thermodynamics 3CHEG 571 Transport Phenomena 3CHEG 595 Graduate Seminar I 1CHEG 596 Graduate Seminar II 1COMM 501 Technical and Scientific Writing 1Elective Courses (list provided) 18Three technical elective courses, at least, should be selected from the corresponding list. One elective course has tobe in the area of business and/or management. Up to 2 elective courses can be selected from other relevantgraduate programs. Selection of elective courses should be made in consultation with the research supervisorand requires written approval from the Chemical Engineering Graduate Chair or designee.A tentative list of courses to be offered in the Fall and Spring semesters is given below. A full time graduate studentis expected to take at least 12 credit hours of course work each semester thus fulfilling most of the requirementsof coursework in three semesters. A limited number of graduate courses are offered during the summer term toallow students to complete their coursework earlier.SemesterFall Semester 1CoursesCHEG 520 Mathematical Methods in Chemical EngineeringCHEG 522 Advanced Chemical Engineering ThermodynamicsElectives (2)CHEG 595 Graduate Seminar ISpring Semester 1CHEG 511 Advanced Reaction EngineeringCHEG 571 Transport PhenomenaElectives (2)CHEG 596 Graduate Seminar IICOMM 501 Technical and Scientific WritingElective coursesFall Semester 2 Electives (2)Elective courses in Chemical Engineering (all are 3 credit hour courses):CHEG 503CHEG 521CHEG 524CHEG 531CHEG 533CHEG 535CHEG 537CHEG 539CHEG 551CHEG 555CHEG 575Multiphase FlowSustainable EnergyStatistical ThermodynamicsChemical Process SafetyNumerical Methods in Chemical EngineeringProcess Simulation and OptimizationMeasurement and InstrumentationDesigned ExperimentationSeparation ProcessesInterfacial ScienceMaterials Engineering and CorrosionPage 43
