An Industrial Chemistry Course that Optimizes the Value of Plant Tours
Hartman, J. Stephen
Journal of Chemical Education, v82 n2 p234 Feb 2005
Plant tours, when emphasized appropriately and fully integrated into an industrial chemistry course, are very useful in motivating students and deepening their understanding of the chemical industry. Emphasis is placed on plant tours as it adds immediacy and a practical flavor to the course and is a good preparation for the graduates who move from university to industry.
