Facilitator: Aaron Sarafinas, Principal, Sarafinas Process & Mixing Consulting LLC
What will chemical engineers be working on over the next 30 years? How will chemical engineers be working differently? What sorts of skills will the chemical engineers of tomorrow need to learn and develop?
The National Academy of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM) is looking for your input on those questions and more as they conduct a study that will “outline an ambitious vision for chemical engineering research, innovation, and education that will guide the profession for the next 30 years.”
The AIChE’s Virtual Local Section is hosting this meeting so that rank-and-file AIChE members have an opportunity to provide input to NASEM’s study. Our chemical engineering community can provide valuable insights into how we see our jobs changing in focus, content, and execution. Our thoughts on how chemical engineers can respond to societal and industry trends are exactly what NASEM is seeking. This online meeting will be held two times so that you can attend the one that is most convenient for you. Join us for a different kind of Virtual Local Section meeting and help shape the future of chemical engineering!

The Virtual Local Section is gathering information prior to these interactive discussions via a confidential questionnaire. While we hope you do both, you are welcome to fill out this questionnaire without attending the meeting and you are welcome to attend the meeting without filling out the questionnaire. If you did not receive the questionnaire from SurveyMonkey, please follow the link above to give us your responses.
