toestablish their own experiment designs to explore chemical and physical phenomena related tojunior-level thermodynamics and transport courses. Concepts in statistics and numericalmethods, technical writing, engineering ethics, and laboratory and industrial safety are allintroduced in the scope of this course.This course serves as the first in our curriculum where students are responsible for the creation oflaboratory procedures, in contrast to their typical chemistry labs where experimental methods areprovided. Given a brief (1/2-1 page) prompt explaining the principle of interest and a list ofavailable laboratory equipment, students are required to explicitly outline the objective,hypothesis, and methods of their experiment, followed by
