The Poster Session covers all key areas of chemical engineering, including sustainability, catalysis and reaction engineering, computing and process control, environmental aspects of chemical engineering, food, pharmaceutical, bioengineering, fuels, petrochemicals, energy, materials, and separations.
  • Undergraduate Research Forum

    The individual and team winners from the Student Design Competition will present and discuss their solutions. After the presentations, tips for solving future competition problems will be given.
