This session features oral presentations from the winners of undergraduate student paper competitions from each student regional conference. The session features a wide variety of chemical engineering topics. These papers are the best of the best of undergraduate research projects and some research from co-ops and internships. Papers will be presented to a panel of judges who will select the top three papers, which will be awarded cash prizes sponsored by Omega Chi Epsilon.
