Student experience

the class

Fundamental principles and mathematical models of electrochemical energy conversion, energy storage, manufacturing, and sensing, with an emphasis on understanding how and why ions and electrons move. Topics include equivalent circuits, thermodynamics, reaction kinetics, transport phenomena, electrostatics, porous media, and phase transformations. Knowledge of multivariable calculus [such asMATH 234] and ordinary differential equations [such asMATH 319] is required. Knowledge of thermodynamics [such asM E 561], heat transfer [such asM E 564], and/or fluid mechanics [such asM E 363orCBE 320] are strongly encouraged.
