Chemical Engineering Research Laboratory - Room 303:  The Chemical Engineering Research Laboratory is a space for chemical engineering students to utilize the engineering knowledge they’ve obtained from their coursework and apply it towards their own research endeavors. Students are provided the space and tools to conduct sections of their research ranging from experimental design and data collection to the writing and editing of their reports and papers. In addition to being a space for research, the laboratory also hosts the ChemE Car club and several unit operations for the senior laboratory course such as:

  • Flooding Point of a Packed Column/Absorption Column
  • Heat Exchanger
  • Drying
  • Membrane Air Separation
  • Reverse Osmosis
  • Fume hoods 
  • Air conditioning and exhaust ventilation systems 
  • Safety showers in adjacent hallway 
  • Fire extinguishers and fire blankets 
  • Eye wash stations 
  • First Aid Kits 
  • Gas cylinder storage facility 
  • Safety regulations sheets 
  • Hazard signs 
  • Safety Data Sheet (SDS) 

     

  • Founded by inventor, industrialist and philanthropist Peter Cooper in 1859, The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art offers education in art, architecture and engineering, as well as courses in the humanities and social sciences.

  • “My feelings, my desires, my hopes, embrace humanity throughout the world,” Peter Cooper proclaimed in a speech in 1853. He looked forward to a time when, “knowledge shall cover the earth as waters cover the great deep.”

  • From its beginnings, Cooper Union was a unique institution, dedicated to founder Peter Cooper's proposition that education is the key not only to personal prosperity but to civic virtue and harmony.

  • Peter Cooper wanted his graduates to acquire the technical mastery and entrepreneurial skills, enrich their intellects and spark their creativity, and develop a sense of social justice that would translate into action.
