Virtual Local Section Share The Virtual Section functions much as any local section does, we hold monthly meetings to encourage the professional growth of chemical engineers, we provide opportunity for networking with meeting attendees, and we serve our local communities, states, country and world using our hands, heads and hearts. The virtual section isn't limited by geography so geographically isolated ChEs can be supported. But there are some differences that make us unique...

Upcoming Events Design Considerations for Organic Electronic Materials and Devices (or how to make low-cost, made-to-order, stretchable, flexible electronics) by Bryan Boudouris Wednesday, June 26, 2019, 9:00pm-10:00pm EDT Posted by Paul Shuey Tailor-made macromolecules offer the promise of providing made-to-order, low-cost materials solutions to some of the most pressing polymer and soft materials challenges of the day. Here, we will review the principles of molecular design and device operation regarding organic electronic materials...Read more Should I Py or Should I Fortran? (a place for Fortran and Python in science and engineering) by Milan Curcic, PhD Wednesday, July 24, 2019, 9:00pm-10:00pm EDT Posted by Paul Shuey Fortran and Python are programming languages with substantially different histories, design principles, and target applications. Yet, they are often found (and used) together in the toolbox of a scientific software developer. In this talk, a high-level overview of these two languages and their...Read more 2019 Student Co-op and Internship Presentation Competition Wednesday, September 25, 2019, 8:00pm-9:00pm CDT Posted by Noah Meeks Submit Abstract Here Are you enjoying your time as an intern or co-op, or working on a unique or exciting project?
