This CD-ROM contained 678.2 megabytes of ed ucational and demonstration software of interest to chemical engineers. As the use o f CD-ROM drives becomes pervasive, this method of software distribution has the potential to reach most chemical engineering students each year with updated and new educational materials. Contributed software was required to have a strong educational value or impact, to be of general interest to chemical engineering students and faculty, and to execute properly. It was note d that students and faculty prefer to have software run directly from the CD-ROM so that they do not tie up much of their valuable hard disk storage. A wide range of appli cations that apply, in principle and in practice, to chemical engineering, including data analysis, scientific visualization, chemical process simulation, process design, process control, spreadsheets, 3D modeling virtual reality, and so forth.
Category includes written, oral, poster, and Internet communications.
This category will provide all departments with the opportunity to communicate information on their particular department, specially major activities that would be of interest to potential students. High-quality, general material on chemical engineering are also welcome. This category will be available to individuals who would like to provide information to Ch E students and faculty. Authors can provide additional materials to supplement their textbooks or their software, overheads of pertinent chemical engineering theory, and so forth. New ideas for visual or audio ChE information communication can be tested .
