1. Create an environment for chemical engineering students to learn, design, and optimize a chemical process, without the pressure of grades, and with the guidance of senior peer mentors.

2. Build confidence in design skills and reinforce/ learn interesting topics in chemical engineering.

3. Be able to improve skills useful to increase your participation in student engineering societies, job/internship opportunities, and engineering professional student design teams.

4. Increase teamwork, professional networking and design skills for early chemical engineering undergraduates.

When and Where? ● Two-hour design workshops will be held in the NEB 101, you must be available for all 10
