Professor: Olya Samilenko
The best aspects of this course included the instructor’s enthusiasm and the ways in which the instructor tied the subject material into the lectures and assignments. Some students felt that the amount of homework assigned was excessive. One student felt the PILOT sessions were not useful since the examples solved were not 100% representative. Suggestions included providing more consistent tests and varied examples, as well as incorporating more graphics/videos to show how chemical engineers analyze processes in the real world. Prospective students should know this is a good course in which to determine whether chemical engineering is one’s ideal focus or not.
