TITLE Suspended Solids (SS)

1.1 Introduction
The need for an open-ended laboratory activity is emphasized in enhancing
independent learning activities and inculcating creativity and innovation of students.

This open-ended laboratory activities is created to provide a platform for

students (as a group) to determine the objectives and scopes of the laboratory
assignment, identify the necessary apparatus and prepare step by step
methodology to carry out the task to address the given problem.

The group will be required to analyse all the technical data obtained and present
them in a technical format.
PREAMBLE
1.2 Objective
