Abstract

In an attempt to better prepare students for life after graduation, the Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of New Brunswick is continuously seeking new ways to expose students to the practical aspects of chemical engineering. The authors present an approach for introducing the students to real industrial problems during a two-week industrial project course called the Practice School as well as during the senior design course.
