My focus through most of my career has been on Chemical Process Safety, Environmental, Health and Safety, and, Air Pollution En- gineering. These fields draw on virtually every part of chemical engineering, but they also draw heavily on other disciplines, including social justice and law, leading to programs that are heavily multidisci- plinary. Also, my experience has spanned many types of industries, from traditional chemical companies, to electronics and microelectronics, to pulp and paper, metal foundries, and even wineries and breweries.

Spatial skills are often used in STEM careers, such asthose in engineering and medicine, and have been positively correlated with increased grade pointaverages and retention in STEM-related fields, including math, engineering, computerprogramming, and science [1, 2]. Spatial visualization skills are learnable [1, 3, 4], but moststudents do not receive formal instruction in K-12 or at the university level.
