Jay Schieber

The project of the 2004 Hougen Scholar, Jay Schieber (PhD '89) from the Illinois Institute of Technology is a new textbook in thermodynamics, in collaboration with Juan de Pablo.

A draft of the text will be used spring 2004 in ChE 211, Chemical Process Thermodynamics I and ChE 311, Thermodynamics of Mixtures. Jay and Juan will incorporate comments from the course instructors Ross Swaney and Eric Shusta, from others who have used their notes, and from referees identified by the publisher, McGraw Hill, as they prepare the final revision of the text. This text, in one of the core subjects in the undergraduate curriculum, will complement other recently developed texts in core areas: the second edition of Transport Phenomena published in 2001 by Bob Bird, Warren Stewart, and Ed Lightfoot, and the 2002 text by Jim Rawlings and John Ekerdt (BS '74), Chemical Reactor Analysis and Design Fundamentals. Regina Murphy is also developing an introductory text on process synthesis that is currently in final review and is projected for publication by McGraw Hill in January 2005. All together, recent activity at UW to develop educational materials for the chemical engineering undergraduate curriculum continues a long departmental tradition, and certainly would make Olaf Hougen proud.
