  • CHEM 4950: Senior Experience

    3.00 Credits
    Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute

    An independent project that utilizes the student's education as a Chemistry professional and results in the preparation of a formal report. Examples are a laboratory research project or an in-depth, critical literature review in a specific area of chemistry. Students intending research should arrange this with a faculty member well before the beginning of the semester to allow time to plan for a proper project. Students who have performed research in earlier semesters may continue or extend their original project. Graded: To be graded S/U. Credit Hours: 3
