chemicalengineering curriculum, the project team began by asking what new capabilities were desired forgraduates with a BS in chemical engineering. The project team initially framed these additionalcapabilities in terms of four outcomes that described what graduates would be able to do or howthey would think:a) Apply fundamental ideas in chemical engineering over a greatly expanded range of time and length scales. Lengths range from sub-molecular and nanoscale processes to super-macroscopic plant integration encompassing more traditional continuum and macroscopic scales. Time scales range from sub-nanosecond molecular motions to month-long time constants for plants.b) Apply ChE fundamental ideas to emerging application areas such as biotechnology

In the words of George Santanaya, a famous Spanish philosopher, “Those who donot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” Company-sponsored, post-graduationtraining programs are meant to fulfill these needs.A more formal approach to deciding what process safety topics should be covered is to reviewthe regulatory framework.

Experience provides some suggestions. It isprobably unrealistic to expect students to understand equipment details before the design classunless that is a point of emphasis in lower level classes. In many programs, the introductorytransport classes focus more on theory than on equipment. Even in a separation class, the stagecalculations often dominate the coverage of tray sizing and performance. One approach wouldbe to integrate equipment details throughout the curriculum; however, this might be unrealistic inlarge programs with different instructors for the same course in
