Chemical processes have evolved, and the workforce has transformed significantly, but the fundamentals of higher education have largely remained the same. Known as experiential learning, some universities are integrating co-op programs into their curricula to help students connect classroom knowledge to real-world applications. Co-op programs and other experiential learning approaches will be discussed by faculty who support these initiatives, as well as by industry representatives who hire co-op students.
