Featured Session: Chemical Engineering Education - Experiential Learning | AIChE

Hear how Experiential Learning will transform the future of Chemical Engineering.

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.
