The program in Chemical and Molecular Engineering is designed to meet the expanding demand for chemical engineers in the nanotechnology, neutraceutical, pharmaceutical, environmental, and energy industries. It emphasizes engineering at the molecular level rather than traditional large-scale process engineering. In a rigorous cross-disciplinary environment, the program provides students with knowledge in the basic physical sciences, mathematical techniques, and computational modeling tools that form the foundation of modern chemical and molecular engineering. A broad spectrum of courses prepares students to assimilate and apply their knowledge creatively to solve complex problems involving not only scientific but also ethical and moral considerations, and utilizing effective communication skills for working in an interdisciplinary team. Employment opportunities for graduates of the program include high-technology industries and institutions that are engaged in research and advanced manufacturing related to nanotechnology, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, future fuels, waste management, and the synthesis of new materials. The Chemical and Molecular Engineering program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, http:// www.abet.org. The program's mission is to serve the community by becoming a resource for regional economic development and to serve the nation by training students who can assume leadership in technological innovation, public service, and ethical standards. Its goal is to achieve international recognition as a center of excellence in molecularly based chemical engineering education and research. Program Educational Objectives The undergraduate program in chemical and molecular engineering has the following four specific program educational objectives: 1. The graduates from the program will assume positions in industry or research institutions that require knowledge of chemical engineering principles. 2. The graduates from the program will demonstrate leadership, teamwork, ethical conduct and effective communication skills. 3. The graduates of the program will be engaged in lifelong learning in order to meet the constantly emerging needs of the chemical engineering profession. 4. The graduates of the program will succeed in graduate programs in chemical engineering or related professions such as medicine, business and law. Student Outcomes The students will demonstrate the following: 1. An ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics. 2. An ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors. 3. An ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences. 4. An ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgements, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts. 5. An ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inlcusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives. 6. An ability to develop and conduct approrpriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions. 7. An ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies. Stony Brook University: www.stonybrook.edu/ugbulletin 1 CHEMICAL AND MOLECULAR ENGINEERING (CME) Fall 2021 Bulletin Requirements for the Major in Chemical and Molecular Engineering Acceptance into the Major Qualified freshman and transfer students who have indicated their interest in the major on their applications may be admitted directly as a degree major or as a pre-major. Pre-majors are placed into the Area of Interest (AOI) program and to be eligible for the degree, they must be admitted to and declare the major. The requirements and application process for matriculation are detailed below. Students admitted to other programs within the College of Engineering and Applied Science (CEAS) follow the same admissions process as students in the AOI program. Students in programs outside of CEAS (non-CEAS students) and double major applicants may apply for admission to the degree program following a separate process, outlined below. Area of Interest and Other CEAS Students (excluding double major applicants) Applications for major admission from AOI and other CEAS students are reviewed twice per year and must be received by January 5 for Spring admission and June 5 for Fall admission. Students who submit their application on time will be admitted if they meet the following requirements: • Students must have a grade of B or higher in all 100-level mathematics, physics, and chemistry courses required by the major. • Students must have an overall GPA of 3.2 with no more than one grade of C+ or lower in any course, unless permission to waive is granted by the undergraduate program director. • Department must receive completed course evaluations for all transferred courses that are to be used to meet requirements of the major. • Transfer students must complete a minimum of one semester, carrying a full-time load with a minimum of 12 credits in residence at Stony Brook University. Transfer students who have completed, by way of transfer credit, all requirements in the first criterion, must demonstrate a grade of B or higher in CME 304. Students must complete these requirements no later than one year after they enroll in the first course that applies towards major entry. Students must apply for admission by the application deadline immediately following completion of the above requirements, but no later than the one year limit. Admission of AOI students and other CEAS students who apply late will follow the process of Non-CEAS Students and Double Major Applicants below. Non-CEAS Students and Double Major Applicants Applications for major admission from non-CEAS students and double major applicants are reviewed twice per year and must be received by January 5 for Spring admission and June 5 for Fall admission. Students who do not meet the requirements for AOI admission above will not be considered. Fulfilling the requirements does not guarantee acceptance. Admission is competitive and contingent upon program capacity. Requirements for the Major The curriculum begins with a focus on mathematics, physics, and chemistry, followed by courses covering specific chemical engineering topics as well as an intensive laboratory sequence. In addition, each student chooses a three-course sequence at the 300 level or above (four courses if admitted prior to Fall 2012) as an area of specialization which may also qualify the students for a minor in the respective department. The program culminates in the submission and acceptance of a senior thesis describing an original research project completed by the student which is defended at the end of the senior year. Students are encouraged to select original research projects which can be published in peer reviewed journals. Completion of the major requires approximately 100 credits. 1. Mathematics a.

  • Nanotechnology: a Slightly Different History Peter Schulz School of Applied Sciences UNICAMP Brazil [email protected]
    Nanotechnology: a slightly different history Peter Schulz School of Applied Sciences UNICAMP Brazil [email protected] Originally published in Portuguese as a diffusion of Science article Nanotecnologia - uma história um pouco diferente Ciência Hoje 308, October 2013, p.26-29 Many introductory articles and books about nanotechnology have been written to disseminate this apparently new technology, which investigate and manipulates matter at dimension of a billionth of a meter. However, these texts show in general a common feature: there is very little about the origins of this multidisciplinary field. If anything is mentioned at all, a few dates, facts and characters are reinforced, which under the scrutiny of a careful historical digging do not sustain as really founding landmarks of the field. Nevertheless, in spite of these flaws, such historical narratives bring up important elements to understand and contextualize this human endeavor, as well as the corresponding dissemination among the public: would nanotechnology be a cultural imperative? Introduction: plenty of room beyond the bottom Nanotechnology is based on the investigation and manipulation of matter at the scale of billionths of a meter, i.e., nanometers; borrowing approaches from academic disciplines, which until recently were perceived more or less as isolated from each other: Biology, Physics, Chemistry and Material Sciences. Different groups, ranging from the scientific community to the general public, when asked about the history of nanotechnology seem to be satisfied with a tiny set of information spread out from site to site in the web. Within the most disseminated allegedly origins of nanotechnology, we can find the so called grandfather and launching act of nanotechnology, namely the famous physicist Richard Feynman (1918 - 1988) and his 1959 talk There is plenty of room at the bottom1.

  • Nanotechnology and Molecular Engineering
    PEO Position Statement Nanotechnology and Molecular Engineering Issue Date: September 23, 2011 Policy Statement PEO recognizes Nanotechnology and Molecular Engineering as the practice of professional engineering and a new discipline of professional engineering. Definition Nanotechnology: understanding and control of matter and processes at the nanoscale, typically, but not exclusively, below 100 nanometres in one or more dimensions where the onset of size-dependent phenomena usually enables novel applications. Molecular Engineering: the design and/or manufacture of molecules by any means, which might or might not be found in nature, including self-assembling systems, generally to be used in works useful to humankind. It may be used to create, on an extremely small scale, most typically one at a time, new molecules that might not exist in nature, or be stable beyond a very narrow range of conditions. Scope of Practice The practice of Nanotechnology/Molecular Engineering (NME) is a specialist practice within the practice of professional engineering. All requirements, obligations and responsibilities of NME practitioners derive from their obligations under the Professional Engineers Act. Within this context, NME has special meaning to include: • any act of designing, composing, evaluating, planning, advising, reporting, directing or supervising, or making measurements for, laying out work for, • specifying or approving of, auditing of, general review of, • classifying, inventorying and mapping of, an activity that requires the knowledge,

    2017 Spring CBE Seminar Series presents: FERNANDO ESCOBEDO Marjorie L. Hart Professor of Engineering Dept. of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering Cornell University, Ithaca, NY Engineering Entropy in Nanomaterials: The bad, the ugly, and the good By elucidating structure-property relationships of soft matter, molecular simulations can assist in the engineering of materials with desirable properties; e.g., properties that originate in the creation of special types of structural order or the control of phase transitions. I will focus on the use of nanoparticles as building blocks for the creation of novel ordered structures. This is motivated by the ability of current synthetic routes to generate tailor-made nanoparticles of tunable sizes, shapes, chemistry, and surface patterning, which has opened the door to a new physical-chemistry with “super atoms” as building blocks. Ordered assemblies of such super atoms can possess unique optical, rheological, and mechanical properties, making them attractive components in the preparation of novel composite, photonic, plasmonic, and photovoltaic materials. I will describe some of our attempts to formulate fundamental principles that govern the self-assembly of such super atoms, and build a sort of “metallurgy” of nanoparticles. While molecular engineering often focuses on tuning chemi- cal interactions, I will focus first on the engineering of entropic interactions as they are often equally crucial but less appreciated. I will describe our recent efforts on the use of molecular simulations to map out the phase behavior of suspensions of particles with polyhedral shapes, including the formation of multicomponent compounds. Our results provide both a basis to existing experimental observations and predictions of novel phases yet to be seen in the lab.
