Welcome to the Chemical Engineering department's server. The main interface is a Wiki, and the links in this paragraph should take you to Wikipedia, the best-known example of what communal editing can achieve. If you want to play, use the Sandbox.

The server is still under construction. The whole thing is editable at the moment, so if you see an error, fix it! If there's something you want but don't know how to do, add it to the WishList.

News

  • 2016-01-22: Gauteng top student joins ChemEng at UP.
  • 2015-05-05: chemeng.up.ac.za online with the migrated wiki content.
