ChE Poster and Paper Competition
The registration deadline for Paper and Poster Competitions is March 23rd, 2018.
​
The subject of each paper or poster is left entirely to the individual student. Presentations often focus on recent advances in some branch of chemical engineering, original research, or plant design. If you have questions about either competition, please contact Grant Landwehr (glandw1@lsu.edu).
