The course will create passion and excitement for becoming an entrepreneur. This will be done through inspiring seminars from local entrepreneurs. Live interactive video lectures from world recognized entrepreneurs will also be included. Enough basic material in the areas of teaming and leadership, strategy and management, market and market research, finance, production, oral presentations and funding so that the students understand what entrepreneurship is all about. The course will be taught in a highly interactive format. Only one formal lecture – the first introductory – is part of the course. The remaining formal material is taught using carefully choreographed and integrated self-teaching modules. In-class time is focused on active discussions, team activities and running a computer simulation which emulates a start-up company. Close | 1 | 2 | 0 | 2 | | Total | 18 | 8 | 38 | 18 |

Prerequisites:E 121, Engineering Design I
(0-3-2)
(Lecture-Lab-Study Hours)
This course introduces students to the process of design and seeks to engage their enthusiasm for engineering from the very beginning of the program. The engineering method is used in the design and manufacture of a product. Product dissection is exploited to evaluate how others have solved design problems. Development is started of competencies in professional practice topics, primarily: effective group participation, project management, cost estimation, communication skills and ethics. Engineering Design I is linked to and taught concurrently with the Engineering Graphics course. Engineering graphics are used in the design projects and the theme of "fit to form" is developed.

| 3 | 3 | 6 | 4 | | CHE 322 | Engineering Design VI (3)The objectives of this course are to learn modern systematic design strategies for steady state chemical processing systems and at the same time to gain a functional facility with a process simulator (Aspen) for design, analysis, and economic evaluation. A process is constructed stepwise, with continuing discussion of heuristics, recycle, purge streams, and other process conditions. Aspen is used for design and analysis of the process units. From the viewpoint of the process simulations, the course is divided into four categories: Component, property and data management; Unit operations; System simulation; and Process economic evaluation. The equations used by the simulator are discussed as well as convergence methods, loops and tear streams and scrutiny of default settings in the simulator. The factored cost method and profitability measures are reviewed and compared to simulator results. Work on a capstone design project is begun in the last section of the course.

Projects can originate with an industrial sponsor, from an engineering project on campus, or from other industrial or academic sources. In all cases, a project is a capstone experience that draws extensively from the student's engineering and scientific background and requires independent judgments and actions. Advice from the faculty and industrial sponsors is made readily available. The projects generally involve a number of unit operations, a detailed economic analysis, simulation, use of industrial economic and process software packages, and experimentation and/or prototype construction. The economic thread initiated in Design VI is continued in the first semester of Senior Design by close interaction on a project basis with E 421. Leadership and entrepreneurship are nourished throughout all phases of the project. The project goals are met stepwise, with each milestone forming a part of a final report with a common structure.
