DEVELOPING CHEMICAL ENGINEERING ACUMEN by Brewing Kicking Mule Beer

Abstract

 The Kicking Mule Brewing Co. at West Point enables members of our chemical engineering club, students, and beer enthusiasts alike to acquire chemical engineering acumen, knowledge, and skills by developing a tangible product. Through a rigorous on-site brewing process with subject matter experts, our goal is enhancement of student chemical engineering knowledge with respect to batch reactors and mixtures, heat exchange processes, process control, and bio-chemical reaction kinetics while simultaneously providing quality products to The United States Corps of Cadets.
