Chemical Engineering 295B

Studies in Electrochemical, Hydrodynamic, and Interfacial Phenomena

Students should bring papers to nominate to the first meeting.  Papers will be selected by vote.

A 15-minute to half-hour summary of the reading material is designed to catalyze discussion. The summary should be brief and should be completed in no case later than 5:40 p.m. A summary should also mention the key points in the reading and bring up unclear passages. Other members of the class are also encouraged to have questions prepared in advance. The discussion leader should prepare copies of the material and leave them outside of 306 Gilman Hall a week before the paper will be discussed.

Papers with 'TBA' for a leader need a volunteer to lead the discussion. Sign up on the bulletin board outside Professor Newman's office at 306 Gilman Hall.
