212040320 – Chemical Reaction Kinetics
Course Description:
This course aims to study in developing the main concepts/theories in the field of chemical engineering. The main studies include: reaction equilibrium, homogeneous reaction rate equation, reaction rate constant, determination of reaction rate constant, complex reaction mechanism and heterogeneous reaction rate equation. Lectures are conducted with a student-centered learning approach. Competency-based assessments include: active participation, portfolio of assignments, and competency exams.
