Details of Chemical Reaction Engineering
Course nature: public course, basic course, specialized course, required course, optional course.
2. Course Objectives
Chemical Reaction Engineering is the basic course of Chemical Engineering for Forestry Products. Its duty is to study the design and operation of reactor. It require to master the analysis method of basic equation for reactor designing and the nonideal flow and heterogeneous reaction system. Its purpose is to establish the solid basis for the students who do the reactor design and scientific research around the chemical engineering fields. The students can understand the deduction and analysis of homogeneous/ heterogeneous reaction kinetic equation and nonideal flow model; grasping the basic equation for designing reactor, single reaction and multiple reaction and reactor catalyzed by solid through the theory studying. The experiments can help the students to learn the research method for kinetic equation and residence time distribution. Further understanding the theory of reactor designing, training the experimental ability and scientific method to analyze and solve problem.

4. Teaching Strategy
According to the requirement of course, bilingual teaching method was used in the course. In order to make the students whose English level is below the average, the Chinese meaning and phonetics symbol of some difficulty words were given in the Powerpoint. Some Chinese reference book were recommend to help the students to understanding the meaning of original meaning in the textbook. The active participating was encouraged and some question was put forward to discuss in English. With the understanding ability improved, the application proportion of English will be increased. If any students felt difficulty in understanding the content, he or she can reflect it and will get help from the teacher or other students. Many examples were used to help students further understanding the meaning of the concepts or formula.
