Learning Objectives In this course, students will:
1. Formulate and solve material balances for non-reactive and
reactive systems.
2. Formulate and solve energy balances for non-reactive and reactive
systems.
3. Formulate and solve combined material and energy balances.
4. Perform phase equilibria calculations using Raoults law.
5. Develop proficiency in the use of steam tables and psychometric
charts.
6. Understand various systems of measurement and maintain
consistent units through engineering calculations.
7. Use tools such as the TI-84 calculator, Excel to solve complex
engineering problems.

Homework Homework sets are expected to be neat.

Quizzes and Exams Quizzes and exams are closed book. No textbook or notes are allowed.
Quizzes based on the current homework assignment will be given at
scheduled times throughout the semester and have varying contributions
to the class participation score.

Add/Drop Students may request a withdrawal from the course via Pipeline. However,
students are strongly discouraged from withdrawing from the course due to
their academic performance. Students failing the course at the time of
withdrawal will be given a mark of WF.

Missed Exams Students who must miss an exam for any reason are expected to contact
the course instructor before the date of the exam. Valid excuses for missing
an exam are: illness, car crash, death in the immediate family, and jury
duty. Students must provide documentation (doctors note, police report,
death certificate, etc), before make-up examinations will be administered.

Attendance Lecture attendance is not mandatory but the student is responsible for ALL
material covered in class. Students are encouraged to attend all classes. No
make-up quizzes will be given to students who do not attend the class in
which they were given. Poor weather conditions are not valid excuses for
missing class if the university is open.

Academic Ethics Students are expected to do their own work in this course. Severe penalties
are applied in cases of academic dishonesty. You may certainly consult with
other students for help on homework assignments and projects; however,
the work that you submit for grading must be your own. Examples of
academic dishonesty and penalties can be found in Table 1.

Table 1: Examples of academic dishonesty and penalties.

Copying homework from solution manual. Semester homework grade of 0.

Copying homework from a classmate (includes spreadsheets!). Score of 0 on that assignment.
Use of notes on closed book exams. Failing grade for course.
Use of cell phones or other electronic communications during Failing grade for course.
exams.
Copying from another student during exam. Failing grade for course.
Copying text from the Internet, or books, into project report. 30% reduction in project grade.
Copying text or calculations from another project report. Score of 0 for project.
