A Pharmacokinetic Simulation-Based Module to Introduce Mass Balances and Chemical Engineering Design Concepts to Engineering FreshmenIntroductionOften the opportunities for freshmen engineering students to be exposed to chemical engineeringare limited. Introduction to chemical engineering is typically a sophomore level course.Freshman general engineering courses come in a variety of forms from college orientationcourses to lectures on basics of design and safety to project-based laboratory or designexperiences. A recent survey of 50 chemical engineering undergraduate programs showed that6% of those programs offered engineering laboratory experiences for freshmen through generalengineering courses and 4

A decentralizedalternative energy market allows each individual in a community to sustain themselves and thenetwork if a node goes down. The concept of this project, which features a vertical-axiswindmill, is to move forward with the design of individual sustainability. The vertical-axiswindmill presented is cost effective, small, and can sustain a load. The vertical-axis windmillwill be comprised of three parts: propellers, a
