For chemicalengineering students topics related to atmospheric sciences are currently not offered nor exploredat both the freshman and sophomore levels. Through mentorship and independently studying thetopic, it was made clear to the student that the difficulty of VOC vapor removal depends on eachchemical species and she began to research what other current methods were available:Traditional VOC

Furthermore, our undergraduate focus onstrong engineering fundamentals tends to steer undergraduates towards attending graduateschool1. This is particularly important as recent studies have suggested that international studentsare increasingly favoring larger research programs2. The Villanova undergraduate student bodyis predominantly U.S.-born, which tends to generally resist attending graduate programs due toeconomic reasons: students graduating with a BSME degree can earn more money immediatelyupon graduation if they enter the workforce, and graduate students often require loans to pay foreducation or to supplement their
