CENG 398 - Summer Investigation Project

Introduction

An elective Chemical Engineering course offered to second year undergraduate students (UG-2) with CGA or SGA better than B-. The object of the course is to introduce the student to research principles, experimental methodologies and technical writing. The students must conduct 25-39 h per week of laboratory research under direct supervision of a Chemical Engineering Faculty. The students were required to write a research work plan, attend safety courses (SEPO), conducts laboratory work, make weekly reporting and write a final Summary Report Paper at the end of the course.
