Danger, danger! We sprang a leak right in front of Bertelsmeyer Hall last weekend! Luckily, students in our Hazardous Materials Management course (taught by Dr. Doug Ludlow) suited up and fixed the issue in a hands-on lab exercise. Check out the amazing pictures taken by S&T alumnus Brian Donley on our Facebook page.
The year has treated us well with new funding, awards, and patents. Catch up with ChBE by reading our Fall 2022 issue of the Chemical and Biochemical Engineering newsletter.
