Statisticalanalysis of the data is discussed in terms of the physical process. In this way, the statistics andthe science are coupled. In the case of the copper etch for Merix, student email accounts arelinked to the process control software so that students get “Process Out of Control Messages” inreal time. Course concepts are cemented with a plant trip at the end of the term to see statisticsin action.INTRODUCTIONUndergraduate chemical engineering education emphasizes analysis and, then, design.

Samples were placed on Alumina(Al2O3) boats, also cleaned using methanol. As shown in Figure 1, the samples were placed atregular intervals in the furnace’s 12 inch heated zone. Six samples were used per run except forlatter experiments in which only a specific position was chosen for one or two samples. Figure 1.

Creating an Entrepreneurial UniversityInspiring entrepreneurship within a student body doesn’t require monumental, elaboratechanges in a program or institution. Converting a traditional education to anentrepreneurial education doesn’t require complicated, sweeping changes in the facultyand the classroom. A significant transformation can come from something as modest andlow key as the collaboration of two faculty members, with the resulting creation of apartnership that allows its members to draw on the others’ diverse backgrounds anddistinct strengths to change the direction of a program and to excite an entire studentbody.
