CHS301 Chemical Engineering Training 0(0-0-0)
Prerequisite: Junior standing or consent of Head of
School
Students are provided with on-the-job training at selected
modern industrial or service facilities. The purpose of
the course are to allow the students opportunities to
observe how chemical engineers function, to learn how
to collaborate with co-workers, and to develop selfresponsibility.
The training period must not be less than
240 hours. Students must submit a report at the end of
the training period. A Satisfactory (S) or unsatisfactory
(U) grade will be given based on student’s performance,
quality of the report, and supervisor’s comments.
