Workshops at ASEE Summer School for Chemical Engineering Faculty; Snowbird, Utah; August 9-14, 1997

摘要CTS-9713320许多化学工程教育工作者努力开发教材，提高教学水平。一旦开发出有效的技术，它们应该提供给更多的受众，而不仅仅是一所大学。事实上，由于化学工程领域正在发生变化，例如蒸馏塔被膜分离装置扩大，填充床反应器被化学气相沉积反应器扩大，新技术和新材料的推广更加重要。化学工程系暑期学校由美国工程教育学会化学工程部组织，每五年举办一次。1997年的暑期学校将是1931年开始的系列活动中的第十二个。暑期班的目标主要是分享已经开发的课程材料。实现这些目标的方法将是在会议中心开会，并计划从早到晚的活动。特定学科领域的研讨会将使教师能够在与许多参与者互动的同时分享和展示他们的贡献。特别研讨会将面向助理教授，而全体讲座将适用于所有参与者。研讨会计划在NSF支持的领域举行，包括生物技术、电子材料、流体粒子系统、环境领域和计算机使用。许多学校在这些领域进行本科生研究项目，以便将在研究中获得的知识和经验传递给本科生。希望美国每一所授予化学工程学士学位的学校都有一名教职员工参加。主办方机构将提供差旅资金，并提议为部分参会者支付现场费用。暑期班完全有可能对1998年Sp环化学工程学士学位的每一位毕业生产生影响，当然，还有以后的所有人。

ABSTRACT CTS-9713320 Many chemical engineering educators work hard developing course materials and improving their teaching skills. Once effective techniques are developed, they should be made available to a wider audience than just one university. Indeed, since the field of chemical engineering has been changing, with distillation towers being augmented by membrane separation units, and packed bed reactors being augmented by CVD reactors, for example, the diffusion of new techniques and materials is even more important. The Summer School for Chemical Engineering Faculty is organized by the Chemical Engineering Division of the American Society for Engineering Education and is held every five years. The 1997 Summer School will be the twelfth in the series begun in 1931. The objective of the Summer School is primarily to share course materials already developed. The method to achieve the objectives will be to meet in a conference center, with activities planned from morning to night. Workshops in specific subject areas will enable faculty to share, and demonstrate, their contributions while interacting with many participants. Special workshops will be oriented towards Assistant Professors, while plenary lectures will be given that are applicable to all participants. Workshops are planned in areas that NSF supports, including biotech, electronic materials, fluid-particle systems, environmental areas, and the use of computers. In many schools undergraduate research projects are undertaken in these areas, so that the knowledge and experience gained in research can be transmitted to undergraduates. It is hoped that one faculty member will attend from every school in the United States that awards chemical engineering B.S. degrees. The home institution will supply travel funds, and the proposal is to pay for on-site expenses for some of the participants. It is entirely possible that the Summer School will have an impact on every single B.S. graduate in Chemical Engineering in the Sp ring, 1998, plus of course all those that come after.
