Leaving Sierra Leone for the first time, 16-year-old Kelvin Doe flew to the US to participate in MIT's fabled practitioner's program, where he demo-ed his soldered and duct-taped radio hardware to admiring undergrads.

In this week’s post about the new Golden Age of ChE, Phil Westmoreland writes about “Massively parallel computing and massive impacts for ChE.”

Over the summer, two engineering students ventured into the realm of public affairs after AIChE selected them as 2012 WISE (Washington Internships for Science and Engineering) interns.

Global collaboration and a new generation of chemical engineers equipped with a wide breadth of knowledge will be required to solve India’s sustainability problems. Read more about the challenges at hand and the advancing solutions.

Mark your calendars and get detailed information for AIChE, SBE, IFS, and CCPS events from November 2012 through March 2013.

After Thanksgiving dinner, most blame a compound in turkey known as tryptophan for making them drowsy, but this short video is here to debunk that canard!

How do you turn a reserved, soft-spoken New England dairy farmer into a media celebrity? Help her to buy and install a profitable anaerobic digester.

More sunlight strikes the earth in one hour than all of the energy currently consumed on the planet in one year. As the world’s energy consumption rate is projected to double by 2050, and triple by 2100, the sun holds great potential as a sustainable energy source.

The Women’s Initiatives Committee (WIC) mission is to “lead in promoting the entry, development, and full participation of women in the Institute and the profession.” The Annual WIC luncheons showcase an accomplished woman in the Chemical Engineering field as the keynote speaker as well as an awards ceremony for the Mentorship Excellence Award and Travel Grant awards for students.
