Why Should I Choose Course 10.27?

This Laboratory Gives You A Basic Chemical Engineering Tool Box

10.27 introduces you to practical chemical engineering operations through hands-on experience with representative pilot-scale equipment and processes. This course is intended to provide instruction in the art of experimentation and data analysis and to introduce theory of selected unit operations.

10.27 is intended to:

• familiarize you with the operation of process and laboratory equipment;
• introduce you to the theory of selected unit operations;
• help you develop an appreciation for balancing theory with empiricism through the use of correlations, approximations, and engineering judgment; and
• provide you with experience in presenting the results of your work in both oral and written reports.

All undergraduates in Chemical Engineering are required to take two laboratory courses (in addition to course 5.310). At least one of the must be a laboratory course offered by the Department: either 10.27, Chemical Engineering Unit Operations Laboratory; or 10.26, Chemical Engineering Processes Laboratory.
