Teaching

ENGR 305: Transport Phenomena

Dr. Mark E. Zappi, P.E.

Undergraduate Level. Basic theories of fluid flow, heat transfer, and mass transfer; compressible and incompressible fluid flow, rheological equations of Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids, concepts of laminar and turbulent flows, introductions of two-phase flow and boundary layer theory, flow measurements, hydraulic machinery; conductive, convective, and radioactive heat transfer, heat exchangers; diffusion.

CHEE 411: Chemical Engineering Projects I

Dr. Mark E. Zappi, P.E.

Undergraduate Level. Students are given the opportunity to apply core chemical engineering fundamentals to a specific, faculty-led project. Working under the guidance of a research professor, and potential graduate students, undergraduates can tackle real-world engineering challenges that require a blend of theoretical analysis and practical execution. Projects are flexible and determined through collaboration between the student and advisor.

CHEE 418G: Industrial Waste Treatment

Dr. Mark E. Zappi, P.E.

All Levels. Design and modeling of chemical and biochemical processes for industrial waste treatments, as an integrated part of plant design. Studies of air and water pollution controls, industrial solid waste disposal, and recent environmental protection regulations are included. To meet graduate-level requirements, students will complete specialized projects dedicated to high-level technical writing, research methodology, and formal presentations within the field of environmental sustainability.

CIVE 663: Solids and Hazardous Waste Mgmt

Dr. Mark E. Zappi, P.E.

Graduate Levels. Comprehensive analysis of the management, treatment, and regulation of hazardous waste, with a primary focus on the behavior and remediation of contaminants within water systems. Students will examine current environmental legislation and the life cycle of hazardous materials, from collection and storage to advanced treatment technologies. Special emphasis is placed on water-side strategies, including the treatment of industrial wastewater, leachate management in sanitary landfills, and the optimization of recovery systems to ensure environmental sustainability.

ENGR 696: Doctoral Engineering Seminar

Dr. Mark E. Zappi, P.E.

Doctoral Level. Presentation of current research topics and career development. Enrollment is required each semester that a student is registered in a doctoral program in the College of Engineering. Credit does not count towards satisfying doctoral program coursework requirements.

CHEE 697: Special Topics

Dr. Mark E. Zappi, P.E.

Doctoral Level. Students engage in specialized, independent engineering projects under the direct guidance of a faculty advisor. Project defined by the student and the advising professor to address advanced problems in chemical engineering research, design, or process optimization. Students will apply core engineering principles to address a specific technical challenge, culminating in a comprehensive technical report or a research presentation.

CHEE 697: Analytical Analysis Chem Engr

Mr. William E. Holmes/Dr. Rafael Hernandez

Graduate Levels. Equips students with essential knowledge and skills for proficient laboratory research, encompassing instrument design comprehension and instrumental results analysis. Participants will delve into the theoretical foundations of various instrumental techniques, including mass spectrometry, high-performance liquid and gas chromatography, elemental analysis, inductively coupled plasma (ICP), and polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Topics covered will include the theories underpinning these techniques, instrumentation hardware, and data analysis methods.

Designing Leaders

Dr. Mark E. Zappi, P.E.

All Levels. Include the official course description from your institution. Include any other relevant information needed for students or others viewing to understand major themes, prerequisites, or if classes are exclusive for specific majors or degree tracks.
