Hi Again,

Please see the link below for pitches for the two BHC consultants industry capstone projects hosted by the Chemical Engineering Dept (though with great CEE relevance). The two pitches are from 23:30-33:30 (the link should automatically start at the right time).

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1vSOWWxf7UjYu1hzKo3TqrIpMMiyYWXhg/view?usp=sharing&t=1412

Note, in future years we hope to do a similar pitch session in our department, but it is one of the things we couldn’t arrange in our first try at this. I know this doesn’t help your cohort, I am sorry about that.

Cheers,

Richard
