Introduction to the use of computers, programming, software tools, and problem solving using Athena. Emphasis on the development of algorithms, programming in C, the use of computational tools and numerical libraries, with applications in elementary numerical analysis and data visualization for science and engineering. Prior programming experience is recommended for the fast-paced IAP offering.
Note: Some programming experience is recommended. Introduction to the use of computers, programming, software tools, and problem solving using Athena. Emphasis on the development of algrorithms and programming in C, with applications in elementary numerical analysis and data visualization for science and engineering. Approximately three hours of lecture and six hours of computer work will be expected each day. Final exam will be held on January 22.

Prereq: 10.490
Level: U 12 units Standard A - F Grading   

Three modules present and solve chemical engineering problems in an industrial context. Emphasis placed on integration of fundamentals with material property estimation, process control, product development, and computer simulation. Integration of societal issues, such as engineering ethics, environmental and safety considerations, and impact of technology on society are addressed in the context of case studies. One module may be taken during IAP.
The following material applies specifically to 10.491 in IAP 2001: THIS IAP CLASS AWARDS 4 UNITS OF CREDIT OF THE 12 TOTAL UNITS FOR 10.491.
10.491 consists of three modules; therefore, a student taking this IAP subject must enroll in only 2 modules during the spring term to complete 10.491. NO GRADE WILL BE GIVEN IN THIS MODULE since the 10.491 grade encompasses all three modules. The IAP class will consist of problems assigned daily that are to be worked individually unless otherwise indicated by the instructor. A final quiz will be given on January 29th. Projects (to be worked in teams of two) will be assigned. Identical grades will be assigned to each team member. The project reports are due February 2, 2001.
This module will assist in subjects such as 10.26, 10.27, and UROP projects. This subject is open to both junior and senior chemical engineering students; juniors should NOT preregister, but should contact Prof. Sawin.
