First Day
Pre Camp
- What sounds interesting about this project?
- I can learn more about chemical and biomedical engineering through this project. The topic of the project which is Operation of a Model Refinery Distillation Column sounds interesting. I would be able to learn more about engineering in Science.
- What do you think you can learn from this project?
- I can learn about engineering in the Science field. By the end of the day, I would know what is a model refinery distillation column and I would be able to learn what we can do with it.
- Any immediate questions regarding the project?
- What is a model refinery distillation column?
Plenary Sessions
