Describes a course designed to introduce the average chemical engineer, who has only a minimum familiarity with the concepts of capillarity and flow through porous media (and none at all with reservoir engineering concepts) to petroleum production engineering. Includes course outline indicating technical content of the course. (Author/JN)

Describes a 10-week survey course in catalysis for chemical engineering and chemistry students designed to show how modern chemistry and chemical engineering interact in the ongoing development of industrial catalysts. Includes course outline and instructional strategies. (Author/JN)

Discusses a course sequence in process control in the chemical engineering department at the University of Maine. Various factors in teaching the sequence (which tends to be strongly applied in nature) are also discussed. These factors include texts, facilities, industrial response to the program, and others. (Author/JN)

Describes the undergraduate and graduate/research programs in chemical engineering at Yale University. Includes a list of course requirements for the B.S. in chemical engineering. (JN)

An undergraduate laboratory course in chemical engineering has been designed to foster communication skills (writing and speaking). Undergraduate engineering students selected on the basis of their writing/speaking talents are used as tutors. Rationale for developing such a course, course organization, and communication skills development are…

Describes development of an interdisciplinary engineering course called "Social Aspects of the Technical Decision Process." Course content includes such interdisciplinary topics as alternative energy, ecology, and urban planning, which represent traditional engineering concepts. However, social and historical dimensions are built into topics.…

An air pollution course covering both the fundamentals and control of air pollution introduces a new sequential structure for its topic presentation. The new structure is built on the basis of theoretical principles and has minimized the traditional case study approach. A detailed course outline is included. (Author/JN)

An analysis of trends in biomedical education within chemical education is presented. Data used for the analysis included: type/level of course, subjects taught, and textbook preferences. Results among others of the 1980 survey indicate that 28 out of 79 schools responding offer at least one course in biomedical engineering. (JN)
