In academia we not only have the need but theresponsibility of preparing our students so that they will be able to function effectively asengineers throughout their careers.

The course content provides the needed technical breadth to the graduate education. In research: They need to become complete researchers who can study an area, define problems, write proposals, design and conduct experiments - both real and virtual - interpret results, and communicate the results. To do this they need practice and feedback (i. e., mentoring) in all these steps. Research provides the needed technical depth.

Many engineers may work on existing industrial processes without having the opportunity to perform a major plant design in their career. • Sophisticated process simulators are readily available both to senior industrial designers as well as to undergraduates. These simulators have become so familiar that they are sometimes the first and only tool considered in a chemical engineering design problem. • The challenge to chemical engineering education is the incorporation of engineering judgment to evaluate and to guide computer simulations. One prominent means to guide such judgments is engineering heuristics or rules-of- thumb
