Applicants to Arizona State University's graduate programs in Chemical Engineering have expressed increasingly strong interest in environmental topics. A graduate training/research program is described in the focus area of Environmentally Friendly Technology, emphasizing Environmentally Benign Chemical Processing. Arizona State University's existing expertise, experience, and interest in environmental aspects of chemical engineering provide the necessary research and teaching base from which to pursue this new area of graduate training. A program in Environmentally Benign Chemical Processing will utilize both traditional chemical engineering training - process engineering, optimization and control - and newer, more specialized topics including air and water quality measurement, recycling technologies, hazardous materials handling, and risk assessment. Topics including point-of use abatement, sensor technology, shared load separations, process integration for pollution prevention, and biosynthesis will be the basis of the trainees' research experience. Local industry will support this effort: Motorola has agreed to provide seminar speakers, advise on coursework development, and begin planning for internships in appropriate areas within the company. Existing and new courses and activities will comprise the teaching component of the program. Minority recruiting activities through the Coalition to increase Minority Degrees will include faculty visits to schools and applicant visits to ASU. A structured program of peer and faculty mentoring will promote student retention.

申请亚利桑那州立大学化学工程研究生课程的学生对环境主题表现出越来越浓厚的兴趣。在环境友好技术的重点领域描述了研究生培训/研究计划，强调环境友好的化学处理。亚利桑那州立大学在化学工程环境方面的现有专业知识、经验和兴趣为追求这一新的研究生培训领域提供了必要的研究和教学基础。环境良性化学处理课程将利用传统的化学工程培训——过程工程、优化和控制——以及更新的、更专业的主题，包括空气和水质测量、回收技术、有害物质处理和风险评估。课题包括使用点减少、传感器技术、共享负载分离、污染预防的过程集成和生物合成将成为学员研究经验的基础。当地产业将支持这一努力：摩托罗拉已经同意提供研讨会发言人，课程开发建议，并开始计划在公司内部适当的领域实习。现有的和新的课程和活动将构成该计划的教学部分。通过联盟增加少数族裔学位的少数族裔招聘活动将包括教师访问学校和申请人访问亚利桑那州立大学。一个结构化的同伴和教师指导计划将提高学生的保留率。
