AIChE Conference
CBU Chemical Engineering students attended the AIChE Conference at Auburn University, where they actively participated in engaging events like the Cookie Class and ChemE Jeopardy. The conference provided them with a valuable opportunity to apply their knowledge, network with peers, and showcase their problem-solving skills in a fun and interactive environment.
Oobleck
STEM Day sessions, including the engaging Oobleck experiment, served as a platform to inspire and educate. During STEM day, the Department of Chemical Engineering at CBU hosted three sessions constituting around 20 students each. Checkout some of the snapshots from our sessions:
