PresentationBoth winners are notified during the conference and are presented with an award of $500 each at the Division Award Banquet at the AIChE Annual Meeting. In addition, the winner’s paper will be invited for a publication in an appropriated peer-reviewed journal.
Nomination Instructions

All eligible applicants must submit a paper describing their work in nuclear science and technology to the NED Outstanding Student Awards Committee Chair. The paper must follow the following format closely:

  • Cover letter: Title of Work, Name(s) and Address(es) of Author(s)
  • Abstract (as in Journal publications)
  • Introduction (Orient the reviewer to the problem of study)
  • Fundamental Theory or Model Development (Theoretical basis of work)

Process Safety Division Student Design Competition Award for Safety

Details
Award

The winners of this award will receive a check for $600 from the Process Safety Division of AIChE. Each inherent safety winning solution (team or individual) will be awarded a total prize of $600 to be divided by the team winners.

DeadlineJune 12, 2021
AdministratorsProcess Safety Division (PSD)
PresentationAwards are presented at the Student Awards Ceremony during the Annual Student Conference.
Nomination Instructions

The awards will be granted to the teams or individuals who apply some of the following concepts of inherent safety in their designs:

  1. Design the plant for easier and effective maintainability
  2. Design the plant with less waste
  3. Design the plant with special features that demonstrate inherent safety
  4. Include design concepts regarding the entire life cycle

The school must have a student chapter of AIChE. The report will need a separate section titled "inherent safety" to describe the design features that represent inherent safety. The Process Safety Division will evaluate all of the designs that are submitted for the AIChE Student Design Competition using the inherent safety criteria mentioned above.

The AIChE designs are submitted to AIChE Awards Administrator, 120 Wall Street, 23rd Floor, New York, NY 10005; Ph./Fax: 646-495-1384/646-495-1503.

DeadlineNovember 19, 2018
AdministratorsFuels & Petrochemicals Division (F&PD)
PresentationThe award is presented at the AIChE Spring National Meeting.
Nomination Instructions

Papers submitted to co-sponsored sessions by F&PD will also be considered.  Application areas will be reviewed on a yearly basis to adjust, as appropriate, to industry trends in the same general area of chemical engineering applications.  Current members of Professor Karim’s research team including undergraduate and graduate students, along with people in post-doctoral appointments, are not eligible for the award.

Prior to the annual Spring AIChE meeting, F&PD will form an ad-hoc review committee with members drawn from F&PD Executive committee members, F&PD Programming Area Chairs, F&PD members, and/or recognized Advanced Control Experts in the field.   Using an established rubric, papers will be judged according to how the work advances the science and/or practice of advanced controls for the Fuels and Petrochemicals industries while also considering presentation/paper qualities such as technical & logical validity, innovation impact, and writing/presentation clarity.  F&PD reserves the right not to grant the award in any given year.  If an award is not given in a year, then the funds will be rolled over and the timeline for the award will be extended beyond the initial 5-year period.

In thanks for the generous personal contribution from Professor M. Nazmul Karim, the Fuels & Petrochemicals Division (F&PD) of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE) is pleased to announce the Professor M.
