Chemical Engineering Education Curricula for the Future, A U.S.-India Workshop, Bangalore, India, January 4-7, 1988, Award in U.S. and Indian Currencies

目标和相关性：该项目支持美国科学家和化学工程教育工作者与印度同行一起参加一个两国研讨会，在流程工业面临的重大变化的背景下评估当前的化学工程课程。将讨论化学工程师从紧缩的老行业毕业到生物技术加工、微电子和材料科学与工程等新兴行业的职业机会的变化，以及课程设置的必要变化。印度和美国的经历是不同的，但可能对两国都有利。研讨会的会议记录和建议将予以公布。美国-印度项目支持这样的研讨会，在这些研讨会上，两国的参与者可以根据各自独立的经验，为有用的信息交流做出贡献。优点：美国和印度的协调员凭借他们过去在化学工程方面的研究和教学经验，非常有资格管理这次研讨会。这次会议显然引起了印度政府和美国大量教育工作者的兴趣。

Objectives and Relevancy: This project supports participation by U.S. scientists, and chemical engineering educators, in a binational workshop with their Indian counterparts to evaluate current chemical engineering curricula in the context of the major changes facing the process industries. Changes in career oppportunities for graduating chemical engineers from the retrenching old industries to the emerging industries of biotechnology processing, microelectronics, and materials science and engineering, and the necessary changes in curricula will be discussed. The experiences in India and the U.S. are different but are likely to be of benefit to both countries. Proceedings and recommendations resulting from the workshop will be published. The U.S.-India program supports such workshops where the participants from the two countries can contribute to a useful exchange of information based on separate and independent experiences. Merit: The U.S. and Indian coordinators of this workshop are very well quallified to manage it by virtue of their past research and teaching experiences in chemical engineering. The meeting is clearly of interest to the Indian Government and to a large number of educators in the U.S. Funding: None other than this action.
