Course Objectives:

• To acquaint students with methods for organizing, planning and conducting graduate-level research, with an emphasis on research instrumentation and analytical techniques.

• To intoduce incoming graduate students to Chemical Engineering faculty and their research interests.

Format:

The course will be divided into ten one-week segments focusing on different areas of experimental research. Each segment will be taught by a different instructor and will include both lectures and lab sessions or demonstrations. Although lectures are scheduled from 9:30-10:20 on MWF in BNS115, not all of them will necessarily be used. Each instructor will organize lab sessions in his or her own laboratories during the week of that segment and lab dates are tentative.

Evaluation:

Each student will be required to prepare a brief report, complete a homework, or pass a quiz on the topic covered (or any combination of the above at the instructors' discretion.
