The School of Chemical Engineering at Purdue is hosting the Chemical Engineering of the Future Symposium on September 24-25, 2009.
This symposium aims at exploring and defining some elements of the Future of Chemical Engineering. The discipline is rapidly and significantly expanding in new directions, such as renewable energy, healthcare, and nanotechnology. As educational institutions, we need to understand how to adjust our teaching methods, curriculum, and approach to continue to educate chemical engineers with the relevant knowledge and skills to be productive and successful in this changing landscape. As research institutions, we need to determine where our creative efforts will have the most impact in satisfying the needs of society, while living in harmony with the environment. The symposium will involve a partnership of industry, research, and education leaders, as feasible and successful solutions to these critical issues will require thoughtful approach by the various sectors.
