This paper will provide a brief history of chemical engineering education and the pedagogies employed in chemical engineering education in an attempt to make sense of the paradoxes inherent in chemical engineering education.

In this talk, we'll review the choices our academic community faces as professors and as a professionشhe conflicts between traditional and alternative ways of designing curricula, teaching, hiring faculty members, and preparing them to teachءnd make some predictions about how the conflicts are...

Thomas F. Edgar focuses on the faculty and student side of progress in computing in chemical engineering education,

Micheal B. Cutlip offers a historical session.

Ronald W. Rousseau discusses what and how chemical engineering professors teach separations.

Ethanol fermentations were established industrial process in late 19th and early 20th century prior to the formal genesis of chemical engineering. Now, as we face the urgency to develop sustainable technologies for the production of chemicals and biofuels from renewable resources, there is a fresh...

The application of CRE fundamentals has been extended to many new and emerging areas such as biological systems (fermentation and enzymatic reactors), electrochemical systems (fuel cells), combustion processes, pharmacokinetics, and environmental engineering, to mention only a few. As new...

In most ChE curricula, an integrated view of process systems is not revised until the process control and design courses in the senior year. All of the other courses, essentially fill in the detail with regard to the various unit operations "boxes" that the student sees in the first course. Thus,...

A new course led, by a long and winding road, to a new text, Introduction to Chemical Processes: Principles, Analysis, Synthesis, published by McGraw-Hil.. In this talk I will discuss some of the unique features of the text and present a few examples of the kinds of design problems that sophomore...

The first course in a discipline is an eye-opener for new students: an initial interaction with concepts and core technologies, meeting faculty members with whom they may have continuing interactions, and an introduction to a unique language and perspective of the world they are entering. In...
