USC Chemical Engineering Student Research Annual (ChESRA)

ChE publishes Student Research Annual

The Department of Chemical Engineering has come out with the first volume of the USC Chemical Engineering Student Research Annual (ChESRA). The publication replaces the traditional softbound undergraduate thesis manuscripts of individual student groups. The department adopted this change in order to promote the importance of disseminating research findings and to provide the larger community access to such results.

The first volume consists of 13 papers written by the graduating students of academic year 2006–2007. Topics include aspects of biodiesel and bioplastics production, bioremediation, and wastewater treatment technologies.

Dr. Evelyn B. Taboada, a professor in the department, is the editor of the research annual. The University, through Dr. Victorina H. Zosa, Director of the Office of Research, shoulders the publication expenses.

Copies of ChESRA are available at the Department of Chemical Engineering for Php300.00. The department may be contacted through telephone number (+63 32) 344 3801 local 410 or by email through lkcabatingan@usc.edu.ph.
