However, as pointed out in recentpublications, 1, 2 the topics, methods and audience of this enterprise requires ongoing assessmentand revision to ensure relevance, efficacy and accessibility for local and global consumers. Inkeeping with this concept, the authors believe that the fundamental discipline of classicalmechanics with respect to the current

atdifferent rates at different times, and historically, the undergraduate curriculum has changedconcurrently. With the exception of incorporation of advances in computational technology, thechemical engineering curriculum has more or less remained stagnant for a generation. Thereforechanges are needed. However, it may not be possible to add new content without removingsome existing content and still maintain a four-year degree. The question being debated is whatshould be added and what can be removed. The U.S. chemical industry has not experienced much growth in several decades; in fact, it isprobably contracting as more capacity is transferred overseas.
