CBEE is offering a new elective course for our undergraduate students in the Fall of 2024, and it will be about electrochemical engineering.
Electrochemical Engineering Elective Course (ENCH 488)
Time: Tuesday - Thursday 1:00 - 2:15 pm on Fall 2024
Location: Janet & Walter Sondheim 107
Electrochemistry is a multidisciplinary science concerned with the relationships between the chemical, surface and electrical properties of materials. It can be applied to a variety of fields within the physical, chemical and biological engineering and sciences.
Why You Should Know Electrochemistry?
• Application of Electrochemistry? Energy Storage & Conversion, Semiconductors, Biosensors, Corrosion, Electrification of Industry 4.0 (Steel & Cement) and Electrocatalysis (CO2 reduction)
• How relevant to CBEE? Three pillars of electrochemistry is thermodynamics, transport & kinetics.
• Demanding Field! Reports from U.S. National Academy of Science, Department of Energy, New York Times, Nature Journal call for training next-generation engineers in electrochemistry to address “Sustainable Engineering Solutions for Environmental Systems” and “Decarbonization of Energy Systems” issues.
What Course Offer?
- Understand the principles of electrochemical processes and basic electrochemical analysis techniques with hands-on practices.
- Link the principles of electrochemistry to electrochemical processes and suggest design solutions to engineering problems.
