A Premium Course by Kevin Braza
Chemical engineering is one subject. Most curricula teach it as five.
Thermodynamics. Transport. Reaction engineering. Process design. Each taught in isolation. But the underlying physics is unified. This course teaches you to see the field that way — as one coherent system — before you spend years learning the pieces without the map.
Why chemical engineering feels harder than it should
The standard ChemE curriculum splits the field into disconnected courses: thermodynamics in one semester, transport in another, reactors after that. Each has its own notation, its own textbook, its own exam format. By the time you're done, you've solved hundreds of problems but you still can't explain how the pieces fit together.
This isn't a failure of intelligence. It's a failure of structure. Nobody gives you the map before handing you the details.
This course is the map.
One equation runs the whole field
Every governing equation in chemical engineering is an instance of the general balance. Every rate law is a gradient times a conductance. Every equilibrium is a free energy minimum.
This single statement, applied to mass, energy, momentum, and moles, generates every design equation in the field.
Five modules. One framework.
Not five disconnected subjects. Five lenses on the same physical reality.
Mathematical Language of Chemical Engineering
Stop fighting the notation. See the mathematical skeleton underlying every equation in the field.
Thermodynamics from Molecules to Processes
Understand why things happen, not just how to calculate them.
Transport Phenomena
Heat, mass, and momentum transfer are the same equation wearing three different outfits.
Reaction Engineering
Reactors are just balance equations with a generation term that isn’t zero.
Process Systems and Design
See how every concept you’ve learned connects into one engineered system.
Who this is for
Incoming grad students
You want to arrive at your program with a coherent conceptual framework rather than hoping one emerges from the first two years of coursework.
Advanced undergrads
Your courses feel like islands with no bridges. You can solve the homework but you can’t explain what it means or why it connects to anything else.
Adjacent-field scientists
You come from chemistry, physics, materials science, or bioengineering and need a rigorous but navigable introduction to chemical engineering thinking.
This is not the right course if you're looking for exam prep, formula sheets, or shortcuts. It is the right course if you want to understand the field.

Your instructor
Kevin Braza
PhD student in computational materials chemistry. Experienced STEM teacher. Someone who spent years teaching advanced math and chemistry before starting a graduate program.
I built this course because I watched capable students struggle not with intelligence, but with orientation — no one had given them the map. I'm building it while I learn, which means the content reflects someone actively working through the material, not someone reciting it from memory twenty years later.
If you want a professor with forty years of experience, this is not that. If you want a rigorous, honest teacher who is deeply invested in your understanding, this is.
