CHBE 508: CHEMICAL PRODUCT DESIGN
Spring 2027 · Section 001 · CRN 26939
Advanced study of the systematic design of chemical products whose value depends on composition, formulation, structure, and performance. Topics include product opportunities and specifications, structured concept generation and selection, property-function-performance relationships, formulation and property modeling, technical literature and patent evidence, uncertainty and sensitivity analysis, prototyping and testing, manufacturability, safety, regulatory constraints, sustainability, and product realization. Graduate students complete advanced technical assignments and a staged team product-design project requiring literature integration, critical analysis of assumptions and models, and defensible evaluation of design tradeoffs. Recommended Prerequisite(s): Prior coursework or professional experience involving engineering analysis, physical or chemical property estimation, materials, formulations, or product/process design is helpful but not required. Mutually Exclusive: Cannot register for CHBE 508 if student has credit for CHBE 408.
