ENGT 2140 - Vacuum Science I

3 credit hour(s)
Prerequisite: CHEM 1215  + CHEM 1215L  + ENGT 1012 
This course offers a thorough exploration of vacuum science technology, emphasizing its core theories, operational principles, and essential processes. Through a pressure regime approach, students will investigate both rough and high vacuum systems, analyzing gas load dynamics, pumping mechanisms, pressure measurement methods, vacuum system construction, and troubleshooting techniques. By comparing system behavior across various pressure ranges, students will develop a deeper understanding of vacuum system performance and applications. 

Theory Hours: 30
Lab Hours: 45
