Summary	The research project in chemical engineering is undertaken by MEng students in their final year. It consists of a piece of original research into some technique or phenomenon in chemical engineering or a related discipline. Research projects range from the purely experimental to entirely computational or theoretical, with many having a mixture of these elements. Each project has three elements: 1. A comprehensive literature review. 2. A substantial project involving the student in independent analysis of a problem, and giving them a degree of responsibility for defining the scope and conduct of the project. 3. Presentation of the work in form of a report.
