Spilled chemicals, mercury, etc., must be cleaned up immediately. All equipment must be electrically grounded. In general, students should not work alone in their laboratory areas. This applies particularly to evenings or weekends, except under special permission of the advisor. Any equipment which requires running water must use at a minimum reinforced Tygon or rubber tubing which is clamped on hose barbs, not merely pushed on.
Copper tubing is superior and is highly recommended.
The Business Office of the Department of Chemical Engineering is located in room M60A Towne Building. In addition to payroll and requisition information, a student may be provided information on official travel, tuition and fee vouchers, budget codes for miscellaneous computer charges, purchase order numbers for supplies, and comptroller's certification of student status for tax exemption purposes. Requisitions for purchase of research supplies and equipment, authorized by the research advisor, should be delivered to Room M60A Towne. The same procedure should be followed for equipment repairs. Make sure your name is clearly indicated on the requisition .
