TEACHING & OUTREACH
The SMAL lab aims to provide educational opportunities at all levels through teaching and outreach. We are interested in hosting grade school level students through camps or visits, provide research opportunities for undergrads of any STEM discipline, or work with teachers to develop short and eye-catching science demos. Please find us here if you are interested in getting involved.
Teaching
CHE 3323 Chemical Reaction Engineering (Spring 2017, 2018, 2019)
CHE 4394/5394 Soft Matter Engineering (Fall 2017, 2018, 2019)
Outreach
Science: It's a Girl Thing (SIGT)
The team in SMAL lab, together with other engineering faculty in polymers and materials research offer hands-on classes for grade 5-9th girls at the SIGT summer camp. Activities include making silicone molded toys, Nylon spider webs, and hand sanitizers! See our past events here.
Catch the Engineering Bug
In collaboration with SWE, Prof. Chang hosted middle school girls during the Saturday event to share what Chemical Engineering is all about.
