CEP: May 2011 This month, CEP Magazine delves into the world of nanotechnology and its potential for major advances in medicine, productivity, sustainability, and quality of life. Included this month: a downloadable primer to nano-objects, covering common shapes, sizes, and compositions.
CEP: April 2011 This month, CEP focuses on water. Water is required to produce energy, and energy is required to make use of water — the two are, and always will be, inextricably linked. Engineers must understand the water-energy nexus in order to manage both efficiently and sustainably.
CEP: March 2011 In March's CEP read about developing crystallization processes, applying Six Sigma for process improvement and problem-solving, and a SBE supplement on algal biofuels.
CEP: February 2011 In February, read features on metamaterials, understanding stream traps, budget battles surrounding mechanical integrity, and more.
CEP: January 2011 In January, read about improving flange joint reliability, computational science and enabling technology development, capital spending in the chemical industry, and avoiding natural gas piping hazards.
CEP: December 2010 This month, CEP covers the topic of sustainability through eco-efficiency analysis and brings you a look at the subjects of chromatography for separating complex mixtures and heat integration for improved energy efficiency.
CEP: November 2010 The United Nations General Assembly has declared 2011 the International Year of Chemistry (IYC 2011), a worldwide celebration of the achievements of chemistry and its contributions to the well-being of people everywhere...
CEP: October 2010 You've probably heard some of the jokes about engineers - the engineer who figures out the problem with the guillotine before it's his turn to be executed; the engineer who puts the talking frog in her purse instead of kissing it because she doesn
CEP: September 2010 My first exposure to bioengineering was watching The Six Million Dollar Man on television as a teenager.
CEP: August 2010 Vernon Law, a retired major league baseball pitcher who played for the Pittsburgh Pirates in the 1950s and '60s, said, "Experience is a hard teacher because she gives the test fi rst, the lesson afterward."...
CEP: July 2010 AIChE's international programs are growing. There are several reasons for this expansion of effort outside the United States. First, the strength of the U.S.
CEP: June 2010 In this issue's cover story (pp. 23-27), retired energy executive and Princeton Univ. industrial lecturer Vern Weekman gazes into a proverbial crystal ball to get a glimpse of society's energy mix in the year 2050.
