CHE 380 - Sustainability in Chemical Engineering

This course introduces students to the three pillars of sustainability: safety, environmental, and economic considerations. Students will identify and quantify how these principles influence the design and optimization of equipment, siting, and operating conditions for chemical processes. Topics include health, safety, and environmental impact in the context of industrial best practices and regulations, risk assessment and management, capital and operating cost estimation of chemical engineering equipment, and economic analysis of project feasibility.
