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!

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.
