Course Code: CHE2215, CBU Equivalent: EGR271 Basic Principles and Calculations in Chemical Engineering I, Units: 3, How can you estimate the release of pollutants from a coal-fired power plant and how changes to processes within the plant might influence the amount released to the environment? If a drug compound synthesized in the laboratory on small scales is showing promising results, how do you start to think about producing enough to treat millions of people? Chemical engineers are challenged with similar questions across a wide variety of fields and applications, including petroleum refining, pharmaceuticals, polymers, consumer products, water purification, food science, and commodity and specialty chemicals. In designing the processes to support these various needs, chemical engineers consider the operations involved, the required amounts of raw materials, separations of more and less valuable materials, environmental impact, and energy requirements. In this course you will be introduced to methods chemical engineers use to evaluate and estimate the components of a chemical process. The decisions related to chemical processes can have profound economic, medical, environmental, and even political consequences. For a longer course description, click here.

Course Code: BUS/CS230E, Units: 3, Managing and analyzing data have always offered the greatest benefits and also challenges for small to large organizations in all industries. Businesses have always struggled with finding the right approach to capture information about their customer, products and services. As companies and the markets in which they operate have grown complicated, companies added more product lines and diversified how they deliver these products in order to survive or to be competitive. All this required information and with the advent of technology and the emergence of new sources of information, such as social media and click-stream data generated from website interaction, the volume of data has increased exponentially. Big data is becoming one of the most important technology trends that has the potential for dramatically changing the way organizations use information to enhance the customer experience and transform their business models. How does a company go about using data to the best advantage? What does it mean to transform massive amounts of data into knowledge? This course will introduce you to the concept of Big Data we provide you with insights into how technology transitions in software, hardware, and delivery models are changing the way that data can be used in new ways and how business can create value from its adoption.
