Undergraduate Coursework and Research OpportunitiesThe goals of the undergraduate program include:
Chemical Engineering programs at both WUStL and KU, and the KU Chemistry program have existing environmental options within B.S. degree programs. Moreover, four faculty from the WUStL Chemical Engineering program (including CEBC members Dudukovic and Turner) are active in an Environmental Engineering Program. These pre-existing structures provide a strong foundation for collaboration within CEBC. Participating departments offer three-credit courses in Environmental Engineering or Chemistry. The text-based courses will be augmented with scientific and engineering content discovered by researchers in CEBC in areas including the environmental impact of chemical processing and new methods for minimizing emissions from catalytic processes. These course components will be posted on the CEBC website to facilitate their use at other universities. Undergraduate students taking an Environmental option will be encouraged to enroll in the three-credit environmental engineering courses. All three institutions will sponsor a summer internship project that will recruit outstanding engineering and chemistry undergraduates from around the country. Students will spend eight weeks on campus and participate in a CEBC research team with graduate students, postdoctoral researchers and faculty. The students will pursue their own research problem and file regular progress reports. During this internship, students will attend weekly group meetings, hear presentations on center projects, and present their research in a short symposium talk and as a poster. Some students will present their posters at regional professional meetings. |
