Overview
The objective of this unit is to provide students with an opportunity to develop their research, teamwork and communication skills by producing scientifically sound solutions to a real local industry formulation problem applying surfactant molecules. Students will create, apply and test development tools (in conjunction with BPS3331) in the context of a real-world unknown problem under the supervision of an industry mentor. Students are professionally and genuinely judged by their professional mentors and it raises their sense of responsibility exponentially and improves employability.
