There have been no major changes in the chemical engineering undergraduate
curriculum in over forty years. Yet, major shifts have occurred
in the basic molecular science(s) that underlie our discipline,
in the career paths that our graduates pursue, and in the structure
of the petrochemical industry.
This talk describes a collective vision of the exciting future of
chemical engineering education synthesized by a broad group of chemical
engineering faculty from around the US.
AFTERNOON SESSION: 2:20 - 4:20 PM
