Discusses aims, objectives, and content of a safety course for chemical engineering students. Course emphasizes awareness of hazards, basic concepts and principles of safety engineering, and the ability to recognize, assess, and remedy specific risks occurring in chemical plants. Course implementation is also discussed. (JN)

Students complete a project at Ohio University to understand the process of plant design. This and other goals of a plant design course are discussed, including student/instructor presentations and typical problems confronted by the instructors of the course. (JN)

Explores the inclusion of risk reduction, as it relates to the handling of hazardous materials, within the chemical engineering curriculum and current teaching efforts on this topic at the University of Louisville. Includes common course outlines, selected textbooks and other required materials, guest lecture list by topic, and examples of…

Discusses a "process control" course in undergraduate chemical engineering. Describes current practices and philosophy and an outline for a course to be taught in the future. Appended are summaries of 12 participants' discussion. (YP)

Describes an engineering course for graduate study in random media. Summarizes random media as bulk properties of ordered and disordered two-phase materials. Gives course outline for one semester. Topics include: disordered systems, microstructure determination, survey of models, connectivity, and effective properties. (MVL)

Describes a course designed to expose neophytes to methodology used in chemical process industries to evaluate commercial feasibility of proposed projects. Previously acquired disciplines are integrated to facilitate process synthesis, gain appreciation of nature of industrial projects and industrial viewpoint in managing them, and to become adept…
