Singapore may be the second smallest country is Asia, but it packs a powerful punch for the chemical and biotech industries.
On August 4th, AIChE and its Society for Biological Engineering hosted a reception for members in the country. This was the last night of a successful 2010 ICBN conference, mentioned below. The reception was a great networking opportunity especially for graduate students and post-docs.

In addition to Singapore, members came from India, the U.S., Malaysia, UK, and Korea.
The location was the beautiful Sky Gardens atop the Singapore government's engineering headquarters, Fusionopolis.
Members enjoyed vast views from Jurong Island and the Singapore Flyer to the new ship-shaped casino (Marina Bay Sands) while they met and talked with other engineers. ExxonMobil, Mitsui, and Shell members even pointed out their chemical plants.
The 5th SBE International Conference on Bioengineering and Nanotechnology (ICBN 2010) was a big success. It was held at the Biopolis in Singapore from August 1-4, 2010 and chaired by Professor Jackie Ying. Over 300 delegates from around the world convened at this multidisciplinary conference co-organized by the Institute of Bioengineering and Nanotechnology (IBN) and SBE.

This series highlights the learning that new ChE professionals need that isn’t taught in school. They’ll describe the types of responsibilities they've had in their work to date, as well as the skills or expertise they needed or had to learn that go beyond what they learned as students. You’ll also hear from their mentor or a senior person offering their perspective on the skills or expertise that new professionals must learn.
With lots and lots of business topics open for discussion, this series will focus on Engineering Economics. It will help answer questions you've heard your boss ask, such as: How much will it cost? What will our savings be? Can you show me the cost/benefit analysis? What is the budget for that project?
Hear about the most exciting aspects of this year's conference, how process safety is evolving, and what sessions Jennifer Mize believes will be especially valuable for both new and experienced professionals.
Nearly 8,000 chemical engineers, researchers, and students gathered in Boston for one of the largest AIChE Annual Meetings ever, showcasing the energy, innovation, and community that defined an unforgettable week.
