Each volume of Chemical Engineering Research collects the unedited research project reports written by 4th year undergraduates of the M.Eng. course on Chemical Engineering in the Department of Chemical Engineering at Imperial College London.

The research projects span for one term (Autumn) during the last year of the career and has an emphasis on independence, ability to plan and pursue original project work for an extended period, to produce a high quality report, and to present the work to an audience using appropriate visual aids. Students are also expected to produce a literature survey and to place their work in the context of prior art.

The papers presented showcase the diversity and depth of some of the research streams in the department, but obviously only touch on a small number of research groups and interests. For a full description of the research at the department, the reader is referred to the departmental website.
