This T-shirt design couples originality with a variety of important aspects of both chemistry and chemical engineering.
Though the central design reads "AIChE," the letters are rooted in five basic laboratory tools and compounds that come together heralding the attendees of the AIChE National Conference!
I hope you all really enjoy my design and thanks so much for your votes!
John J. McKetta Undergraduate Scholarship

AIChE’s Institute and Board of Directors’ Awards are AIChE’s highest honors, and candidates are nominated by the chemical engineering community and voted upon by the members of AIChE’s volunteer-led Awards Committee. The prizes recognize outstanding achievements and world-class contributions across a spectrum of chemical engineering endeavors.
Process safety education plays a critical role at every stage of an engineer’s career. In this three-part series, experts from the Center for Chemical Process Safety (CCPS) explore how engineers can build and strengthen the knowledge, judgment, and habits needed to manage risk and support safer operations.
In this series, we discuss process engineering with a wide range of process engineers working in a variety of industries, whether in petrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, food processing, or any other process-intensive industry.
Dr. Peppas is being recognized for visionary leadership and transformative service to AIChE, founding biomaterials and bionanotechnology communities, strengthening governance, and advancing interdisciplinary chemical engineering worldwide.
Scott Herrmann is being recognized for transformative innovations in Kapton® film technology, global manufacturing leadership, and pioneering products that reshaped the electronics industry and advanced excellence in industrial chemical engineering.
