Chemical Engineering II: Course Description

MIT's 'Chemical Engineering II' course is geared toward undergraduates in the Chemical Engineering Department. It prepares them to design chemical plants that operate continuously, with a focus on strategies for emissions reduction in coal-burning plants. 'Chemical Engineering II' students also learn to use AspenPlus, a process modeling tool for chemical engineers. They practice conducting safety analyses and cost estimates and generate conceptual designs for chemical processes like ammonia stripping as well. Professor Gregory McRae designed 'Chemical Engineering II,' which was primarily a lecture-based course.

In 'Chemical Engineering II' OpenCourseWare, you'll find a reading list, one problem set and project guidelines. If you want to find out more about this online course offering from MIT, please visit the chemical engineering course page.
