Three chemical engineer students win national design awards
By Tony Fitzpatrick Three recent graduates of the Department of Chemical Engineering have won distinguished design awards in the National American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE) national student design competition and will be honored at the AIChE annual meeting Nov. 4 in Indianapolis. Corey S. Harris, Katherine Rogers and Andrew Tillinghast gave the University’s chemical engineering department the distinction of two straight years in which members from the University have taken top honors. "This is an outstanding achievement and speaks well of our students who come through the chemical engineering design course," said Milorad Dudukovic, Ph.D., the Laura and William Jens Professor of Environmental Engineering and chair and professor of chemical engineering. "We’re very proud of our students, and the department is grateful to Dr. Charles Carpenter for inspiring and motivating students in our design course." The team won The William Cunningham Award for First Place Team in the 2002 National Student Design Competition. This award recognizes its solution to the 2002 contest problem and consists of a plaque and $600, to be divided equally among team members. The group will present a summary of its solution at the Annual Student Conference from 8:30-11 a.m. Nov. 4. The team also won the Safety and Health Division Award for the best application of the concept of inherent safety. This award recognizes the group’s solution to the 2002 contest problem and consists of $500, also to be divided equally among the team members. The group also took the Safety and Chemical Engineering Education Award for best application of the principles of chemical process safety. This award recognizes the group’s solution to the 2002 contest problem, and consists of a plaque and $300, to be divided equally among the team members. |
