Course Description:   

Chemical Engineering 815.08 is an introductory advanced momentum transfer course taught at the graduate level. It is assumed that all students have an equivalent background of undergraduate fluid mechanics. The course goal is to provide the background information that is often lacking in the more applied courses taught to undergraduates.

Course Grade:

10% Homeworks

20% Midterm I

20% Midterm II

20% FLUENT project

30% Final Exam


Course Policies:

Homework assignments must be submitted at the beginning of class. Late assignments will receive no credit but should still be completed and submitted. Five percentage points will be deducted from your final course grade for each incomplete or missing homework. Homework is a valuable learning tool, so you should try to solve every problem on your own before seeking help. Once you've worked on each problem by yourself, you may work together in small groups to complete an assignment. This does not mean you may simply copy solutions from a classmate or from solution sets from previous years to which you might have access. Presenting someone else's work as your own is plagiarism. You are expected to be familiar with the university's policies regarding academic misconduct.

You should also make every effort to attend all class sessions. Not all of the information presented in the text will be covered in class and some of the material covered during lecture is not covered in the text book.

Regrades

Although extremely rare, the instructor and TA have been known to occasionally make mistakes when grading. If you believe a mistake was made and that you deserve more points on a homework or exam, write a short note of explanation and resubmit your work to Dr. Koelling. You must do this within one week after the assignment in question is returned. Assignments resubmitted after one week will not be considered for correction.
