Introduction: The
Transport Phenomena Laboratory at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering allows
students
to gain hands on experience with basic engineering equipment.
In this course, the principles learned in the previous transport classes
are combined with experimental results to illustrate the importance and
practicality of the curriculum to industrial engineering processes. With the support and guidance of Dr. Loren B. Schreiber, the
Instructor, and Mr. Richard Crisler, the Senior Lab Engineer, this course
promises to be a stimulating and productive step in the learning process.
Course Objectives:
 |
Gain
proficiency in the use of basic chemical engineering equipment and
instruments |
|
Correctly
apply the principles of mass and energy balances, fluid flow, and heat
transfer to chemical engineering processes |
|
Design
and conduct experiments, analyze and interpret data, and formulate
conclusions |
|
Strengthen
communication skills, both written and oral |
|
Reinforce
interpersonal skills in a team environment |
The Workload:
|
For
each laboratory experiment performed (5 in all), the teams must produce a
laboratory report that is of the same quality expected in the industry |
|
Expect
presentations as one objective of the course is to improve oral
communication |
|
Quizzes
force the students to refresh their memory on important chemical
engineering principles |
|
Team
evaluations allow team members to give an honest and fair evaluation of
each other and even contribute to each other’s overall grade |
