Fun Friday Fact (ICYMI): Our last newsletter looked at the evolution of the buildings that have housed us. Did you know the department started in temporary tin shacks (>>> https://t.co/a3f8JRXMKj) before growing into today’s state-of-the-science facility?

[TexasChE @TexasChE]

Please join @TexasChE in celebrating our faculty promotions! Their work in atmospheric chemistry + air quality engineering, project-based lab experiences and optimization of process systems continues to equip students with the skills needed to be successful engineers. Congrats!

[TexasChE @TexasChE]

Thanks to @KochModular’s donated pilot-scale KARR® liquid-liquid extraction column, undergraduates will gain hands-on experience with industry-scale separation technology. From classroom theory to pilot-scale practice–this is how partnering with industry transforms learning.
