Tentative Schedule

 

 

Below is a tentative schedule of the activities that can be expected at the Boot Camp.

Classroom sessions are structured in a way that give attendees a deep understanding of the science and engineering behind microwave heating.

Product formulation and testing allows attendees to prepare their own samples for processing in on-site MATS and MAPS pilot-scale machines.
