Engineering profession status

A sustained and steadily intensified need exists in the chemical engineering profession for authoritative and comprehensive reviews of the current status of the surging tide of research. To meet this need, an increased frequency of publication of Advances is foreseen, probably an annual schedule. While many of the reviews presented in this and earlier volumes are invited contributions, the Editors will be (and have been) most receptive to suggestions regarding appropriate topics and authors, and to independent proposals to prepare a review of the desired type. 

The above, and other important developments in the Engineering Education, are being undertaken and will have a decisive positive impact on the engineering profession on the local and regional levels. The aim of this paper is to shed Ught on the engineering education in Lebanon, its history, its present status and future perspective.

This petroleum and natural gas engineering two-volume handbook is written in the spirit of the classic handbooks of other engineering disciplines. The two volumes reflect the importance of the industry its engineers serve (i.e., Standard and Poor s shows that the fuels sector is the largest single entity in the gross domestic product) and the profession s status as a mature engineering discipline. 

The current status of polymer science, and other materials-related research, within chemical engineering demands a wider definition of what is fruitful activity within the profession than that of 20 years ago. Polymer sci-...
