Even more than the petroleum industry, the petrochemical industry defmes the chemical engineering profession. The evolution of this industry has produced the changes in the country s needs for engineers and continues to evolve and employ most chemical engineers. The raw materials used in chemical synthesis have made the transitions... 

What was once voluntary is becoming the forced position (see Fig. 3). For the chemical engineering profession, the components of technical content, regulation and stakeholders interaction have all expanded and overlap to a greater extent than in the past. 

In considering sustainability as a framework for the chemical engineering profession, the London Communique was an ad hoc step in the right direction. The 1997 London Communique (Fig. 4) acknowledged the need for chemical engineers to minimise their adverse impact on the environment more so than to use the profession s... 

The concept of separate mobilities of the fluids can be used to make useful predictions of displacement behavior and has indeed been accepted without question by most of the petroleum-engineering profession. The combined mobility, Atotal, in this case is given in equation 3 as the sum of the mobilities of the two individual fluids where each fluid flows through the rock with distinct effective permeabilities, kel and ke2 The individual fluid viscosities, which are each measurable in bulk, are ju1 and p2-... 

In order to indicate the diverse nature of the chemical engineering profession, the typical work characteristics of different types of chemical engineers are examined. 

The goals and roles of the engineering profession The responsibilities of engineers to society and a sustainable future... 

The purpose of ASCE s Diversity Guide is to provide practical, hands-on suggestions for how to foster, improve, and maintain a diverse and thriving workforce within the civil engineering profession. The Diversity Guide follows, and is a companion to a number of important ASCE initiatives undertaken to better understand and highlight the issues of workplace diversity. 

This Manual joins three other ASCE navigation manuals to form the beginnings of a body of technical literature for development of a navigation engineering specialty in the civil engineering profession. The other... 

The challenge of achieving zero discharge of pollutants from the major water use generally is best left to the chemical engineering profession. The problems of the four large industrial water users are not sanitary in the classical sense but instead are chemical, or, more specifically, they involve chemical separation of pollutants in water to a desired level that will allow reuse or discharge. 

This report has dealt with a wide area of issues and concerns. The main issue has been to describe the engineer of today and tomorrow in the transition of industrial society towards information society. Technology and economy within their global framework are defining the most important scenarios of the future of engineering professions. The university is expected to respond to these scenarios. The response, however, needs to be based on considering university policy as a consistent system. Thus the challenge for university policy is to search for its own path into the future...
