Hes a little disorganized, but the material is easy enough it doesn't mater. One of many GOATs in the ChemE department.

Definitely one of the best and most captivating professors in chemical engineering. Professor Squires does a good job covering all the topics while keeping class moral high.

Professor Squires is a legend of the department. Although this class was difficult at times due to time intervals between homework, so some due diligence was required to learn the material, both course exams were fair and suited to the class content. He is an excellent mentor in chemical engineering and cares so deeply for his students.

Go to lecture and take notes and put in effort and you'll do well. Loose structure compared to other Engr courses but he cares about your interest in the subjects. There's no textbook used so going to class is what you need to do well on the final.

I quite liked Mukherjee's teaching style, but this class is incredibly slow and can be very uninteresting at times. He switched to a different lecturer after the midterm and I really did not like that at all. If he remained the lecturer the entire quarter I would have enjoyed the class significantly more.

I took him for Cosmetic Science and he was the BEST! He joked around with us and taught us the science behind making beauty products and then we actually made them ourselves. He created a really fun and relaxed environment. My only complaint is that the class wasn't long enough!

My goat Todd Squires strikes again. I think he does a good job maintaining professionalism and reminding us of the importance of a good lab report.

Todd Squires is a gem of a man. If every professor was like him, college would be so much fun. He genuinely cares so much about his students and this class is so much fun. Super easy, just show up and make the products and just don't cause an accident and you'll pass. 10/10 would take again, would recommend it, Todd is the absolute best

This class was very chill and only met the first five weeks of the quarter. There wasn't too much teaching and a majority of the class time was spent making various cosmetic products. As long as you show up and do the experiments, it's an easy pass.

I loved him, i had him for an INT class about making shampoo, conditioner, lip gloss, aloe vera, and many more. I thought the class would be more information than hands-on but he just gives a brief description of how these items are being made and lets us get to work!

To be honest Professor Mukherjee cares WAY more about his research and conferences than the class. He lectures like a ted talker but it's really easy to lose focus because he paces and stares at the floor. The only reason this class was chill is because of the teaching TA that taught most of the course, and ours was super helpful.

We did not receive a syllabus until week 6 of the quarter. Although Professor Mukherjee is clearly a talented academic with passion for the subject, lectures were disjointed and long winding. The TAs were goated with the sauce for this one.

Professor Mukherjee comes to 174 to lecture, regardless of whether there are students present. This is a technical elective so I am not worried about my performance in this class but it is a genuinely interesting subject matter so I would recommend it especially if you plan on going into biotech/biochem.

Lectures are very loose and example based. He goes on many tangents that derail the lecture for periods of time. That said, he is extremely fair and only assigns/tests on things discussed in lecture. I could kind of tell that this wasn't a class he was super fond of teaching but found ways to make it interesting and incorporate his own interests.

Have taken both CHE 171 and 132C with this teacher. He is one of the most intelligent/knowledgeable teachers you will ever meet, and is a very nice guy. However, his lectures are extremely convoluted, his notes unclear (his expectations as well), and he is just plainly not good at teaching. This was very sad because I was excited to take 171..

not much homeworks, straightforward tests. Tests are very similar to homework and his notes. he clearly knows the stuff and it is easy to tell what he wants us to focus on and really get out of the class. only problem is that his notes do get a little sloppy

My favorite Professor at UCSB. Though he is busy with his other comitments, he tries really hard to make sure his students get the education they signed up for. Homework is generally straight forward and tests are just like slightly harder homeworks. He is also very casual with the way he talks with students which makes him very approachable.

One of the best professors I've ever had! Lecture was always easy to follow and engaging. Notes posted online were incredibly useful resources. His obvious enthusiasm for teaching made going to class a lot of fun. He also went out of his way to help students, even holding a final review via Skype from Germany at 4am his time!

Awesome! Count your blessings if you get Squires for heat transfer. Word to the wise: take notes in pencil, as he writes equations by memory and signs/variables get jostled around a bit.

Squires is a very dynamic professor. He definitely stimulated my interest in the subject. His homeworks and tests are challenging, but fair. His only flaw is that he is too smart to teach the class and goes off on tangents... they are interesting tangents, but are pretty confusing in terms of the level of comprehension that we are required to have.

Great teacher. Probably one of the best you are going to get in the department. VERY cool guy who is interested in getting you to understand the material. The book we had to use for this course sucks so he pretty much stopped using it and taught us himself. The homework is really necessary to do well in the class.

cool guy

awesome!

he is a good teacher with a lot of enthusiasm, but too much material and not enough time. test were a little tough compared to homework
