engineering education is the development of intellectual skills and knowledge that willequip graduates to contribute to society through productive and satisfying careers as innovators, decision makers,and leaders in the global economy.” It is expected that today’s engineeringkehnology graduates will bechanging jobs several more times compared to a deeade or two ago. This inevitably leads to the requirementthat emphasis given in higher education to skills and attributes that are transferable from one type of endeavorto another be as much as, if not more, than that given to purely technical skills, which beeome obsolete quicklyin face of rapidly evolving and changing technologies. In line with above, it is anticipated that the following would be the

We use the entire college ofengineering as a source of technical focus courses, the MBA core from our school of business forkey management courses, and specialized engineering management courses to prepare leaders intechnology and business. This low cost approach allows us to attract a wide variety of technicalspecialists into our program that are welcomed by our university affiliates.The key strategy that is working for us is to use technology to allow collaboration amongstudents and faculty. The increasing complexity of engineering design that demandscoordination of many diverse technical disciplines requires engineers and managers to usecollaboration tools that can also be used in educational environments.

changes in the operation of those processes. For thisreason, employers of chemical engineers expect chemical engineering students to acquire astrong background in chemical process safety during their undergraduate studies.Safety education in general and within chemical engineering specifically is an essential but ahistorically overlooked topic within chemical engineering education. Initiatives have beenimplemented within the chemical engineering community to enhance education on chemicalprocess safety. The Safety and Chemical Engineering Education (SAChE) program was initiatedin 1992 to provide teaching materials and programs to enhance the teaching of process safety atthe undergraduate and graduate levels (Anonymous, 2018).
