Time consuming and useless

Absolutely useless and uninteresting for anyone in the NE program who doesn't want to spend their life making plastic. A lot of the TAs were less than competent

Dec 2022 · didn’t like itOn UW Flow Remove this
Useful lab for anyone interested in materials/chemical research or industry. Covers some polymer synthesis and mostly characterization techniques. Only strange thing is it ran after NE 333, not sure if that was due to Covid.

“Are some engineering 3rd year courses being held in person?”

u/lilipadis: “… Specific labs in Nanotechnology Engineering will be offered only in-person for NE 330L, NE 340L, NE 454C, and NE 454D. These labs, due to their nature, cannot be offered online. …”
