Chemical Engineering: Review of Enabling Sciences through Problem Solving (Canvas net)

Offered by University of Alabama in Huntsville - UAH,
Chemical Engineering: Review of Enabling Sciences through Problem Solving (Canvas net)

By introducing problems that chemical engineers are asked to solve and exploring the reasons why the enabling sciences are required to solve them, participants will gain a better understanding of the underlying disciplines supporting the work in chemical engineering.

A junior or senior standing in high school is the only recommended prerequisite for this class. Although chemical engineering is the focus, this course will benefit anyone considering engineering as a course of study in the future. There is no cost for this course, and students will be provided with all required content.

This course introduces a number of basic scientific principles underpinning the methodology of cooking, food preparation and the enjoyment of food. All topics covered have a strong basis in biology, chemistry, and physics application. Among others, they include the consumption of cooked food, the physiological and evolutionary implication of the senses, geographic and cultural influences on food, and the rationale behind food preparation. We will also discuss issues such as coupling of senses to improve sense stimulation; altering flavor by chemical means; and modification of the coloration to improve the appearance of dishes. Following the video demonstrations of the scientific principles of cooking, you will learn to recognize the key ingredients and their combinations for preparing good healthy food.
