Abstract
In the senior year, chemical engineering students at Widener University are required to take two technical elective courses in addition to the rest of their regular courses. If a student pursues an independent study project with industry and a faculty member, then this project will usually count as a technical elective. If a student wishes to perform a work-study project then this will not count as credit but will provide the student with the opportunity to work directly with a professor or an industrial advisor on a contractual basis. Details on examples of both cases are presented for previous work and for research that is ongoing this semester at Widener University
