Recognizing that insufficient attention was being given to polymer topics in the chemistry curriculum, the ACS Division of Polymer Chemistry (POLY) formed the Polymer Education Committee in 1972. Shortly thereafter they were joined in this effort by the ACS Division of Organic Coatings and Plastics (now known as the Division of Polymeric Materials Science and Engineering or PMSE), and the committee was called JPEC, the Joint Polymer Education Committee. Over the years, the Polymer Education Committee was very active and instituted a variety of programs... 

The next speaker in this session was Dr. Cliff Davidson from Carnegie Mellon University s Environmental Institute. Davidson divided his talk into four topic areas (1) skills and attitudes that future engineers will need (2) environment across the curriculum initiative (3) case studies in green engineering and (4) center for sustainable engineering A three-university consortium comprising Carnegie Mellon, University of Texas at Austin, and Arizona State University.
