CHS487 Extended Chemical
Engineering Training
Prerequisite: Senior standing
6(0-40-0)
Students are provided with on-the-job training at selected
modern industrial or service facilities for an extended
period of at least 16 weeks. The purpose of the course
are to allow the students opportunities to observe how
industrial engineers function, to learn how to collaborate
with co-workers, and to develop self-responsibility.
Students must submit a report at the end of the training
period.
