Anexposure to RC guidelines and its implementation can help chemical engineering students tobecome more marketable and get a head start with their careers.It is important to prepare chemical engineering graduates who will grow to become goodcorporate citizens. Recent industrial disasters (such as Deepwater Horizon spill, Imperial SugarRefinery explosion, Alumia plant accident in Hungary, etc.) have all pointed to a breach in RCand the possibility of engineering personnel’s involvement in making the wrong decisions cannotbe ignored.
