Teams of five or six students partner with individuals or groups that have a realneed that can be addressed by an engineering project and that the customer cannot easily solveby some other means. Local and regional partnerships are encouraged and are the norm.Individuals with disabilities or physical challenges are common partners. Other projects focuson regionally appropriate technology to promote economic development. The relationships beginwith representatives from a community business or a local farm coming to class to pitch theirpotential projects to the

Ifso, could the university then negotiate the demand piece of its electric power bill to be less?Concurrently, the Facilities Director asked the five students to find out 1) how accurate is thepublic electrical utility’s demand and energy data? and 2) How can gateway metering bestsupport his long-term plan to set up an emergency microgrid for the university?

The intent of this course is to forma bridge between the abstract mathematical formalism presented in statistics classes and theprocess technology of chemical engineering. This approach is especially useful for the morehands on learners, many of whom go on to be process engineers.Chemical Process Statistics provides a brief introduction to the use of applied statistics in thechemical process industry. Whenever possible, concepts are introduced through examples.Industrial data has been provided by Merix and Hewlett-Packard, on copper and tantalum etchprocesses, respectively.
