New Elective in CBEE: ENCH 488 Electrochemical Engineering

CBEE is offering a new elective course for our undergraduate students in the Fall of 2024, and it will be about electrochemical engineering.

Electrochemical Engineering Elective Course (ENCH 488)

Time: Tuesday - Thursday 1:00 - 2:15 pm on Fall 2024
Location: Janet & Walter Sondheim 107 

Electrochemistry is a multidisciplinary science concerned with the relationships between the chemical, surface and electrical properties of materials. It can be applied to a variety of fields within the physical, chemical and biological engineering and sciences.


Why You Should Know Electrochemistry?

• Application of Electrochemistry? Energy Storage & Conversion, Semiconductors, Biosensors, Corrosion, Electrification of Industry 4.0 (Steel & Cement) and Electrocatalysis (CO2 reduction)

• How relevant to CBEE? Three pillars of electrochemistry is thermodynamics, transport & kinetics.

• Demanding Field! Reports from U.S. National Academy of Science, Department of Energy, New York Times, Nature Journal call for training next-generation engineers in electrochemistry to address “Sustainable Engineering Solutions for Environmental Systems” and “Decarbonization of Energy Systems” issues.


What Course Offer?

  1. Understand the principles of electrochemical processes and basic electrochemical analysis techniques with hands-on practices.
  2. Link the principles of electrochemistry to electrochemical processes and suggest design solutions to engineering problems.
