CHEG 5330: Applied Machine Learning in Chemical Engineering

This course is an applied machine learning algorithms course tailored for the chemical/process engineers. The focus of this course from is on case studies and real-world examples seen by chemical engineers. The course will include exposure to machine learning, data science & analytics, and big data in a chemical engineering context. Students are taught to identify descriptors and predict and optimize system properties using a machine learning approach.

Prerequisites: Instructor consent.
