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.

许多化工教育工作者努力开发课程材料，提高教学技能。一旦开发出有效的技术，它们就应该提供给更广泛的受众，而不仅仅是一所大学。事实上，由于化学工程领域一直在发生变化，例如蒸馏塔被膜分离装置所扩展，填充床反应器被CVD反应器所扩展，新技术和新材料的传播就更加重要了。化学工程学院暑期学校由美国工程教育学会化学工程分部组织，每五年举办一次。1997年的暑期学校将是1931年开办的第12所暑期学校。暑期学校的主要目的是分享已经开发的课程材料。实现目标的方法是在会议中心开会，从早到晚计划活动。在特定主题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。特别讲习班将面向助理教授，而全体讲座将适用于所有参与者。计划在NSF支持的领域举办讲习班，包括生物技术、电子材料、流体粒子系统、环境领域和计算机的使用。在许多学校，本科生的研究项目都是在这些领域进行的，这样在研究中获得的知识和经验就可以传授给本科生。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员参加。国内机构将提供旅费，并建议支付一些参与者的现场费用。暑期学校完全有可能对1998年Sp届化学工程专业的每一个学士学位毕业生产生影响，当然还有所有之后的毕业生。
