Fluid Dynamics
Example of a non-Newtonian fluid (shear thickening). Notice when the guy that does the back flip stops moving, he sinks!
Course Description: Fluid-flow concepts are presented through the derivation and application of the basic equations of continuity, energy, and momentum. Engineering aspects of flow measurement, pressure-drop calculations, and pumping requirements are considered.

Industrial Chemistry
Course Description: Designed to expose students to the rich array of resources, ideas and experiences of chemical engineering. Emphasis and content based on faculty member's area of expertise. In this case, the course provides a framework for discussing industrial chemistry. Students will become familiar with the major raw materials, reactions and processes which drive the global chemical industry, as well as the related issues (environmental, economic, and political).
