Figure 1. Figure 1. Combining Separation with Reaction Module Content.Moving Bed TechnologyAn introduction to moving bed technology is provided. The basic configuration of a moving bedprocess is shown, along with the flow paths of the liquid and solid phases. The majority ofinstruction in undergraduate chemical engineering is focused on transport of liquids throughpiping and delivery systems; thus, the challenges of moving a bed of solid particles aredelineated. These challenges include particle attrition as well as limitations on liquid phase Page 22.1295.4velocity to avoid fluidization of the solid particles. Select screen shots

Most statesrequire at least four years of experiences after completion of an EAC-ABET accreditedengineering degree. However, the education requirement is far from uniform. Many state lawsinclude pathways to licensure for applicants with a non-accredited engineering degree, anengineering technology degree, a non-engineering bachelor’s degree, and no postsecondarydegree. In the following study, state engineering laws and rules were reviewed to determine theeducation, experience, and examination pathways to professional engineering licensure.

This annual outreach initiative introduces budding scientists to engineeringthrough tours of campus labs, exposure to new technologies, and engaging workshops. The UFSWE chapter aims to introduce these crucial engineering technologies at a young age (especiallyto girls), and spark interest in these areas to help them consider engineering as a possible careerpath. The library workshops introduced students to the entire 3D design cycle from modeling toproduction, and concluded by printing a model that they designed. The librarians and SWErepresentatives co-taught a basic design program, Tinkercad, along with providing design adviceand a primer about 3D printing technology. The workshop was based upon
