Chemical Engineering 291H - Sophomore Honors Colloquium

This course a one-credit stand-alone sophomore-level honors colloquium that enhances the chemical engineering curriculum. The Honors course will consist of mandatory attendance at a weekly Seminar Series. These seminars will provide students with an opportunity to see the current research being conducted in chemical engineering. The seminars will display the breadth and excellence of the research occurring at UMass. It is also a great way to show the Chemical Engineering honors students the most current aspects of our profession and let them know early on about joining research groups. The seminars will be provided by faculty from Engineering Departments on campus. Each student will select a seminar of their choosing for an extensive review (5 page including a review of four papers from the literature, due on the last day of classes). With prior approval, up to two appropriate departmental seminars in Chemical Engineering, Chemistry, Polymer Science and Engineering, Physics, or Biochemistry and Molecular Biology may be substituted for the scheduled seminars. We believe it is important to expose all of our Honors students to contemporary research in Chemical Engineering. Prerequisites: a grade of B or higher in any ONE of the following courses: ENGIN 110, ENGIN 111, ENGIN 112, ENGIN 113 OR CHEM-ENG 120.

Open to Chemical Engineering majors only. CHEM-ENG 291H requirements
