Course description and aims

The objective of this course is to understand the basic concept of thermodynamics required for a process engineer and also learn the simulation technique useful for the analysis of actual chemical processes. Practice using thermodynamic calculation software and Microsoft Excel will be done for better understanding.
This course in Tuesday class gives an overview of amorphous materials, mainly glass materials. Students can extend their knowledge on the fabrication techniques and characterizations of the materials. This course can give the special fabrication techniques and characterization not only for amorphous materials but also general information for various types of materials. The aim of this cause is to widen your knowledge about material research.

Student learning outcomes

By the end of this course, students will be able to:
1. Understand the cement manufacturing process as an example of chemical process
2. Understand the basic thermodynamics required for a process engineer through cement manufacturing process
3. Understand the usage and principle of equilibrium calculation and diagram by a thermodynamic calculation software
4. Understand the simulation technique useful for various manufacturing processes

By the end of this course, the students can obtain knowledges as follows;
1. fabrication techniques for glasses and glass sciences
2. characterization techniques for glass structures
3. fabrication techniques for amorphous materials
4. fabrication techniques for materials by chemical solution process
