The Chemical Process Design and Control Center focuses on applied research in the design and control of chemical processes. Some of the center's activities of interest to business and industry include advanced computer methods for design of new processes, re-design of existing processes, and the design of control systems to meet new requirements such as product quality or waste minimization.

Service learning courses give students an opportunity to learn by doing.
Through service learning classes students engage in activities which enhance the quality of someone else's life, activities which benefit individuals, families, communities, and government both here and abroad. Service learning courses differ from community service, volunteer work, practica or internships in their explicit linking of theory and practice, that is, the linking of ideas developed within the classroom and their practical application within the community through guided reflection. These courses vary considerably in form and content but all promote a practical understanding of society, citizenship and community through participation. Every year the Northeast Regional Environmental Public Health Center hosts a national conference dealing with issues related contaminated soils. If you have a short course planned for the future and you know the dates, please get the information to Bill McComb .
