Development of problem sets for K-12 and engineering on pharmaceutical particulate systems

The Engineering Research Center for Structured Organic Particulate Systems (SOPS) continues to make efforts to develop problem sets for K-12 and engineering on pharmaceutical particulate systems. It is engaged in developing coursework that integrates fundamental concepts and research advancements in SOPS into K-12 and undergraduate engineering curricula. It is observed that more than 20 problem sets have been developed and will be integrated in the Center Web site for dissemination. It is expected that the development of educational outreach programs and course modules can increase student interest in the area of pharmaceutical engineering from basic research to manufacturing technology. The overall goal of the center in developing such programs is to develop problem sets that have educational objective fitting into the existing coursework and linking to an area of pharmaceutical research.
