The Future of Chemical Engineering - an Educational Perspective

Abstract

Chemical industry and academia continue to work together to set criteria for the various chemical engineering curricula so that it can keep pace with the emerging needs of globalize industry. at a meeting commissioned by the Council for Chemical Research, and organized by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, major adjustments to the strategy of the curriculum were proposed. Several universities have given particular attention to embedding new and developing computerized computational techniques into the curriculum. Specific to the emerging concepts and practices in bio-related aspects of a number of engineering disciplines, ABET, Inc., also known as the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology, continues to revise its criteria for engineering disciplines. Several chemical engineering departments are developing global options programs within undergraduate degrees, and international research experiences for graduate students to transform them according to industry need.
