Seven Decades of Chemical Engineering

On early doctorates, compare Olaf A. Hougen, Seven Decades of Chemical Engineering, Chem. Eng. Prog. 73,89-104 (January 1977) and J. O. Maloney, Doctoral Thesis Work in Chemical Engineering from the Beginning to 1960, pp. 211-223 in W. F. Furter, ed., A Century of Chemical Engineering [17]. On the state of the American chemical industry, see Williams Haynes, American Chemical Industry, Vol. 2, Van Nostrand, New York, 1945, Introduction. 

I have not been able to find information on the subsequent development of this course. Interestingly, it does not feature in Hougen s paper Seven decades of chemical engineering [32]. However, this could be a manifestation of his view that biochemical engineering was not a branch of chemical engineering, but a distinct discipline.

A century of curriculum development in Canadian chemical engineering pleads for a depth of analysis well beyond the scope of this review. The American influence has dominated for almost three-quarters of that time so it is not surprising that Hougen s seven decades ) can be invoked as a matching scale, usually with some time lag, for...
