The Department of Chemical and Biochemical Engineering is purchasing equipment to develop an undergraduate process safety laboratory. Specifically, this project supports the purchase of: a mini flash-point tester, a flammability testing apparatus, corrosion studies equipment, a reactive system screening tool, vent sizing software, and supporting accessories. These items can be used in laboratory experiments that expand upon and supplement the required process safety course. This process safety course and the laboratory are providing a model for developing similar courses and laboratories in other chemical engineering programs and therefore may contribute to what should be the ultimate goal of having process safety a required component of all chemical engineering curricula in the United States. The results can be disseminated through articles published in the SACHE newsletter and Chemical Engineering Education, both of which now enjoy a wide readership among Chemical Engineering faculty.

化学与生化工程系正在购买设备以建立本科生过程安全实验室。具体来说，该项目支持购买：迷你闪点测试仪、可燃性测试仪、腐蚀研究设备、反应系统筛选工具、通风口尺寸测量软件和支持配件。这些项目可用于实验室实验，扩展和补充所需的过程安全课程。该过程安全课程和实验室为在其他化学工程项目中开发类似课程和实验室提供了一个模型，因此可能有助于实现将过程安全作为美国所有化学工程课程的必需组成部分的最终目标。研究结果可以通过《SACHE 时事通讯》和《化学工程教育》上发表的文章进行传播，这两份杂志现在在化学工程教师中拥有广泛的读者。
