Prerequisites: ChE 773 Introduction to High Polymer Engineering (or equivalent)
Lecture: Tuesday and Thursday 9:30- 10:48 AM
Text: Z. Tadmor and C.G. Gogos, "Principles of Polymer Processing," Wiley, New York (1979)
Course Description: Principles of transport phenomena, rheology, thermodynamics, polymer chemistry and physics will be related to polymer processing (converting high polymers into useful products) through application of mathematical and analytical approaches. Advanced computational fluid dynamics software will also be used to simulate polymer processing operations.

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 T.A. 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.
