1. To provide opportunities for guided self-studies into coupled transport processes beyond topics covered in the classroom.
2. To enable students to explore processes and transport problems of interest.
3. To reinforce and implement skills and proficiencies learned in this course towards solving “realistic” problems

Topics and timeline

1. Students will select a topic from the attached list (also posted on the course webpage) designed to expand knowledge beyond topics covered in class.
2. One page proposal submitted by 3nd week (this requires exploration and consultations with instructor or major advisor).
