ChE Chemical Engineering Lab 3

October 17th, 2008

The courses are described in more detail below. The Nanotechnology Process Option is being devloped in partnership with Oregon Nanoscience and Microtechnologies Institute ONAMI, Oregons first Signature Research Center. ONAMI leadership will facilitate input on the content of the new courses in achieving their learning outcomes.

The option will contain six courses, five required courses and an elective review the curriculum for this option. ChE Instr in Chem, Bio & Envir Eng 4 Equips students with toolbox of instrumental techniques important in chemical, biological, and environmental engineering and inclusion of specific techniques useful for the characterization in nanoscale systems. ChE Chemical Engineering Lab 3 Students who select the Nanotechnology Processes Option will be required to do nanotechnologybased capstone project.

The option will contain six courses, five required courses and an elective review the curriculum for this option. The course includes handson activites, demonstrations, and capstone ethics project where students complete risk assessment of nanotechnology. Review example student projects.

Thus, there will inherently be multidisciplinary approach. There are two entirely new sophomore level courses which will lead into three upper division courses already in place. Additionally, the teams formed will include students from other disciplines thus the Breadth plus Depth Pedagogy will be reinforced in senior lab ChE 415 in which they will need to synthesize both aspects in their capstone project, and potentially through their Honors College thesis. The option will contain six courses, five required courses and an elective review the curriculum for this option.

Also, provides students with the background required to determine the appropriate instrumental technique to address specific problem. The following types of projects are ones that be assigned to students for their capstone lab projects carbon nanotube synthesis by catalytic CVD and analysis of kinetic data via TGA silicon nitride nano powder synthesis by the ammonolysis of SiO vapor and characterization of these nano materials by SEM, TEM, and XRD.
