Training students

Smith himself stimulated many researchers but, though he wrote a celebrated paper on the evolution of microstructure, did not take any graduate students, and so he did not perhaps initially perceive the implications of the fact that large numbers of doctoral students came from the university s physics and chemistry departments to work with some of the permanent Institute staff... but there were no metallurgically trained students to draw on. Some of the Institute staff became closely involved with the physics or chemistry departments, and one even became chairman of the physics department. A consequence of this situation was that Smith could not attract further metallurgists to join the Institute, and junior metallurgists who came for short... 

Chemical engineering undergraduate eurricula have traditionally been designed to train students for employment in the conventional chemical processing industries. The eurrent core emrieulum is remarkably successful in this effort. Chemical engineers will continue to play a major role in the ehemical and petroleum industries, but new areas of application as well as new emphases on environmental protection process safety and advanced computation, design, and proeess control will require some modifications of the curriculiun. 

The book is also useful for undergraduate and graduate courses in chemical engineering. Some faults of the old book have been ehminated. One fault was its level of difficulty. It was too hard for undergraduates at most U.S. universities. The new book is better. Known rough spots have been smoothed, and it is easier to skip advanced material without loss of continuity. However, the new book remains terse and somewhat more advanced in its level of treatment than is the current U.S. standard. Its goal as a text is not to train students in the application of existing solutions but to educate them for the solution of new problems. Thus, the reader should be prepared to work out the details of some examples rather than expect a complete solution. 

As suggestions for the future, the following are opportunities for materials chemistry training. My suggestions certainly are not specific to materials chemistry but should be germane to other technical disciplines that train students for industrial careers. 

Regarding schools, immediately after teachers are trained on the emergency preparedness plan, they should train students on how to correctly respond to the various types of alarm systems (e.g., fire, radiation, and chemical) in the building. Teachers should use cassette tapes, compact discs, or videotapes to allow the students to hear the differences in the sounds of the various types of alarms. 

Ecole Polytechnique, the Institute of Egypt, and the suburban Arcueil estates of Laplace and Berthollet. Like Gay-Lussac, the chemists Louis N. Vauquelin, Michel Eugene Chevreul, and Louis Jacques Thenard admitted well-recommended students to their private chemical laboratories. By the 1830s, Dumas and Victor Regnault were training students in larger numbers as part of the expected chemical curriculum. 84... 

The trend can be reversed, the day, the university Professors start interacting with the industry and vice versa. The teacher will find ready supply of funds for its research and training students. And the students will find their ready acceptability and receive attractive packages from the industry. The industry in return will find skilled and trained manpower. 

Universities train students to do independent research, but this is irrelevant in a company environment. Students who are trained in a very competitive environment often do not have good cooperative experience, so our program is team based. Each team has its own mentor to assist it and aid the learning process. The fellows receive a stipend, and business expenses are covered as well. 

Returning to the matter of curriculum, this obviously is not the time nor the place to dwell upon specific courses or their detailed content. Other speakers will deal more completely with that topic. Rather, let us consider the ultimate goal of a forensic science training and education program. Simply stated, the goal, as I see it, is to educate and train students to interpret evidence and events correctly, so that such interpretations will prove or disprove the truth or validity of the state-...

During the discussion after the Fundamental Aspects session (Chapter 3), Thomas Rauchfuss of the University of Illinois said that his group spends a good amount of money on training students. However, he hopes to receive more funding so that he can provide even better training programs... 

We began experimenting with collaborative care models of patient care and thinking about how to train students in their use. The four of us—two psychiatrists and two family therapists—began to share patient care. That is, we began to provide joint clinical supervision to family medicine residents and family therapy interns, and we began to teach each other s students. ... 

Many synchrotrons offer XAS training courses. These are typically summer workshops that train students in the theoretical and practical use of the technique. Information regarding these can be gained at the following web pages ... 

Dr John A. Apps also commented in personal communication that another problem for the under-use of geochemical modeling is the lack of practitioners who understand both geochemistry and hydrogeology. Universities tend to train students specializing in either field but not both.
