How the Chemical Engineer Will Shape the 21st Century Originally delivered Dec 2, 2008 Source: AIChE Type: Archived WebinarLevel: Intermediate PDHs: 1.00 Share This Post: Preview Webinar: The current global economic meltdown, along with imbalances in energy ecology and equity, imply that the fundamental backbone of the global industrial world needs reinventing. This reinvention must lead to a new relationship between human and nature, which is not extractive but enriching; and is not consumption centric but conservation centric.In order to achieve such a transformation across industries such as aerospace to energy & electronics, chemicals to textiles, and cosmetics to pharmaceuticals, Chemical Engineering has a strategic role to play.
