Editorial
In this month’s YPOV column, Arjun Gopalratnam points out that the summertime is a great time for self-improvement, and he urges us to expand, in particular, our computer programming experience. He recommends a few free resources that can help us enrich our Excel skills, become more proficient when working with engineering software, and learn HTML coding. Among those resources are several from AIChE.
Characterize Reactive Chemicals with Calorimetry
