1. Alert people in your laboratory or immediate area to the fire. Evacuate the laboratory.
2. Have someone pull the FIRE ALARM. This is a LOCAL SIGNAL only and does not automatically call the Fire Deparment. Call 9-911 as soon as possible.

4. Contain the fire by closing hoods and doors when evacuating area.
Students can gain experience in applied chemistry at a number of sites. We have placed students in summer and academic-year internships.
Off-site internships include ABS Materials, Cargill and Wright Patterson Air Force Base.
Our students have done summer research at such academic institutions as University of Colorado, University of Kansas, University of Wisconsin-Madison, Columbia and Johns Hopkins.
