of same, as they relate to Chemical Engineering practice.
2. Have learnt the rudiments of modern report writing.
3. Have been exposed to the accurate use of basic laboratory apparatuses, tools and
equipment.
4. Be well equipped and made better engineer who is practically sound and knowledgeable.
5. Have developed competence and confidence through numerous personal involvements in
laboratory experiments.
6. Have learnt about laboratory safe acts and other work ethics for the health of both man
and his environment.

Methods of Lecture Delivery/Teaching Aids


Lecture Delivery Methods
Interactive (Discussion method): The students are divided into different sub-groups of
between five to seven students per group for effective interactions, discussions and
participation.
Teaching Aids

Laboratory manuals detailing the following: topic of experiment, aims and objectives of
the

experiment,

apparatus/equipment,
