A Survey of the Graduate Thermodynamics Course in Chemical Engineering Departments across the United States
Abstract
In this work we conducted a survey of chemical engineering departments in the United States to determine the content of the graduate thermodynamics course offered at their institutions. From our survey, we found that 90% of the institutions require this course as part of the core curriculum. Other findings explore the textbooks used in this course and on the inclusion of statistical mechanics and/or electrolytes into the course content.
