PEC306: Advanced Projects in Chemistry

Most laboratories undertaken as an undergraduate student are limited to a single four hour session. However, chemical investigations and research in the workplace are often conducted over days, or even months. Additionally, chemists may be required to search literature, develop new methods, and incorporate data from bioassays/industrial processes into their work. This project unit allows students to undertake a semester long research study under the guidance of a member of the Chemistry staff, providing a valuable experience.
