This is an exciting time for the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering as we anticipate our 100th anniversary. The Board of Trustees proclaimed the chemical engineering degree program in 1914 and the first graduating class marched in 1915.
To commemorate this special event, we will be publishing a Centennial book. This book will trace the department's beginnings as an industrial chemistry major in 1914, its transition to departmental status in 1938, important connections with DuPont and other chemical companies in the post-World War II era, and its expansion in the late twentieth-century into fields such as energy and biochemical engineering. The book will reflect on our past excellence and document the department’s faculty, research focus and curriculum, emphasizing the human dimension.
We are interested in hearing your remembrances. We encourage you to visit our commemorative page to share your cherished memories using the button above; some of these may be published in the commemorative book project.
