Foreword by the Department Head This foreword provides you with background on the Artie McFerrin Department of Chemical Engineering at Texas A& M University, and explains the expectations for our upcoming external review. Chemical Engineering was a division in Industrial Chemistry from 1911 to 1940. Chemical Engineering has been recognized as a separate department at Texas A&M since 1941. The first Bachelor of Science degree was awarded in June 1911, the first Masters of Science degree in 1913, and the first PhD degree in 1950.

This activity is part of a periodic review of all Texas A&M University academic programs, and offers an opportunity to assess the standards of the programs and to learn from review teams members’ experience with similar programs.

I request that the review team examine the graduate and research programs of the Department of Chemical Engineering using the materials that will be provided, information you gain though personal interaction while visiting Texas A&M, and any additional information that you might request. While evaluating the program, please consider the allocation of resources within the department (both human and fiscal) and the absolute level of support the Department receives from the University. Please comment as appropriate on current and potential leveraging of these resources, as well as current and potential interaction with other department and groups, both on campus and off.

Also, please address the issue of learning-based outcomes:

⎯ Does the Department have ongoing and integrated planning and evaluation processes that assess its programs and services, that result in continuous improvement, and that demonstrate that the Department is effectively accomplishing its mission? ⎯ Has the Department identified expected outcomes for its educational programs? ⎯ Does the Department have evidence of improvement based upon analysis of results?

In addition, I ask that you address the impact of the faculty Reinvestment Program, started by Texas A&M University in 2003. The reinvestment program has resulted in the hiring of almost 112 new faculty members dispersed throughout the College of Engineering. The goal is to

improve the quality of education for Texas A&M students by having more faculty available for mentoring and advising, whether more courses and sections are available, or by track and measure real increases and improvements in the quality of the graduate and undergraduate experiences across all dimensions. We ask that you assess the success of the department in moving their teaching and research agendas forward with these hires. Thus far, the Department has received $5.6 million in reinvestment dollars (inclusive of salaries, start up funds, moving expenses and renovation expenses), and has made 12 new hires since 2003.

1. Overview of The Artie McFerrin Department of Chemical Engineering

1.1. A Brief History The Artie McFerrin Department of Chemical Engineering welcomes you to Texas A&M University and thanks you for your service as external reviewers of our graduate programs. We are pleased to have this opportunity to assess our programs as we look for opportunities to continually improve and enhance them. We realize that a strong graduate program is a key part of maintaining an excellent department and improving our academic reputation. Hence, we are grateful for your help in this process. This self-study was prepared for this review and reflects an evaluation of the graduate programs within the department. It includes a brief history of the department, an overview of the department, details on the research and educational activities of the graduate programs, plans for continual assessment and improvement, as well as a strategic vision for the future.

We look forward to your input and eagerly await your recommendations about how we might further improve our programs as we strive for greater excellence. We realize this is a time consuming task and thank you again for your service. We are ready to answer any questions that may arise and would be glad to provide more information should you require it.

The department and its graduates have a proud heritage with many of its graduates having successful careers in the process and allied industries. Others have used a chemical engineering education as a base for further study, and have had successful careers in law, medicine and various areas of business. In nearly all instances our graduates have been leaders, and in some cases leaders of major chemical petroleum, pharmaceutical, food, and allied companies.

The department began as a division of industrial chemistry in the Department of Chemistry and in 1940, became the department of chemical engineering in the College of Engineering. While some research was conducted and a few graduate degrees were awarded, the goal of the

department was to provide a sound undergraduate program leading to a B.S. degree in Chemical Engineering. This was the dominant goal through the 1950s.

Transition and changes occurred in the decades of the sixties and seventies. Even though only 49 PhD and 229 Master degrees were awarded by the end of the seventies; these graduates became successful leaders in industry. During this period, Dr. Charles Holland, with his students developed and expanded the theta method and other innovations such as the Kb method, the method of handling non-ideal solutions, as well as new innovative computational methods for simulating and modeling multi-component separation systems. Many of these methods are used in process simulators that are routinely used in industry for modeling multi-component separation systems. Other innovations during this period were the back flow cell model developed by Dr. Leo Durbin (early sixties) and his students for modeling chemical reactors with the ultimate objective of using such models in process control. Dr. Eubank (early sixties) and his students began the development of our thermodynamic laboratories, which were recognized world wide for their expertise in measuring thermodynamic properties of gases and liquids. In the mid-sixties (1965, 1966, and 1967) Drs. Ron Darby, Rayford (Ray) Anthony, and Daniel (Dan) Hanson joined the department and began the development of laboratories in rheology, electrochemical engineering, kinetics, catalysis and reaction engineering and biochemical engineering, respectively.

With the explosive growth of Texas A&M in the 1970s and corresponding growth in the department, additional faculty were added and a number of visiting professors joined the department for a year or two to assist in teaching the undergraduates, and because of the growth of the masters program. During the 1970s, Drs. Kenneth R. Hall, Jerry A. Bullin, James (Jim) Holste, Charles Glover and Ted Watson joined the department. In the late seventies and early eighties, the faculty determined it was essential to strengthen the graduate program and increase the number of PhD students relative to the number of Masters and undergraduate students. With the guidance of an Industrial Advisory Committee, the faculty, in 1982 and early 1983, revised the PhD program to be competitive with other PhD programs in the country. An

intensive effort was also undertaken to recruit students interested in pursuing a PhD degree. These changes began to take effect in the mid to late eighties, and continued with the leadership of Dr. Raymond Flumerfelt. Additional faculty were hired in the eighties and early nineties. These included Drs. Akgerman, Bukur, Gadalla, Holtzapple, Flumerfelt, Slattery, Nikolaou, Liao, Ploehn, Dale, and Honnel. Each of these individuals strengthened existing programs and expanded the department's capability in materials, transport phenomena and polymers. In the mid and last half of the nineties Drs. Archer, Good, Pishko, Ford, Kuo, Sevick and Mannan joined the department. Drs. Flumerfelt, Nikolaou, Liao, Ploehn, Dale and Honnel over a period of several years left to join industry or other departments, and Dr. Gadalla passed away in the spring of 1994. In the period from 1996 to the fall of 2001, several faculty retired including Drs. Davison, Bullin, Darby, and Durbin, and Dr. Gilbert Froment joined our department as a Research Professor.

The last decade has witnessed considerable change in the department. In 2000 and 2001 Drs. Archer, Pishko, Watson and Kazantzis left the University and accepted positions at other Universities. In 2002 Dr. Good left the department to join another department and Dr. Sevick left Texas A&M in 2005. In the 2000-2001 academic year Drs. Bevan, Shantz, and Ugaz were hired to strengthen the areas of colloids, materials, and microfluidics respectively. Drs. Juergen Hahn and Mahmoud El-Halwagi were hired in 2002 to strengthen the process controls/system/safety group in the department. Around this time (2002-2005) the University embarked on a ‘faculty reinvestment’ program with the aim of improving the student to faculty ratio of the departments. Chemical Engineering, then under the leadership of Ken Hall, benefited from the reinvestment program. Numerous hires were made including Dr. Arul Jayaraman (2003-2004, Life Sciences), Dr. Perla Balbuena (2004-2005, Molecular Simulations), Dr. Jorge Seminario (2004-2005, Molecular Simulations), Dr. Tahir Cagin (2004-2005, Molecular Simulations), Dr. Mariah Hahn (2004-4005, Life Sciences), Dr. Zhengdong Cheng (2004-2005, Colloids), Dr. James Silas (2005-2006, Soft Matter/Colloids), and Dr. Thomas Wood (2005-2006, Life Sciences). At the start of the 2007-2008 academic year Dr. Pishko returned from Penn State to serve as Department Head. Drs. Zhilei Chen (Life Sciences) and Katy Kao (Life Sciences)

were hired in the 2005-2006 academic year and joined the program in the 2008-2009 academic year. In the last academic year Drs. Sreeram Vaddiraju (materials/energy) and Mustafa Akbulut (soft matter) were hired and have joined the program as of fall 2009. In approximately same period Drs. Anthony and Eubanks retired; Drs. Akgerman and Hanson passed away.

Thus the department has undergone a dramatic change in the last ten years. While Drs. Ford and Bevan have left for other departments in the 2006-2007 time frame, several of the hires of the early 2000’s have been promoted to Associate Professor and remained in the department (Shantz 2006, Ugaz 2008, Hahn 2009). The department has historically hired outstanding young faculty although at times has struggled with retention. Successfully integrating all the hires of the last eight years, which were at a variety of ranks, is a theme of ongoing effort in the program. Also noteworthy was the transition of the department to the Jack E. Brown engineering building in the fall of 2004. This state of the art facility provides world-class facilities for teaching and research. In 2006 the department became the Artie McFerrin Department of Chemical Engineering through the generous donations of Mr. Artie McFerrin. As of fall 2009 the department has 25 tenured/tenure-track faculty.

Texas A&M has committed to the idea of human capital by highlighting faculty in its Vision 2020 strategic plan. A&M reinforced this commitment with the faculty reinvestment program, which called for hiring 447 faculty members during a five-year period. This includes 112 new tenured and tenure-track faculty in the College of Engineering. The university achieved this goal on time and many of these new faculty are now making great contributions to the university. When A&M works to recruit, support and retain internationally recognized faculty, it expands the possibilities for faculty and students, preparing Aggies to make even greater contributions to the world.

The department has had a rich tradition of excellence over the last 70 years in both the education of undergraduates and the training of graduate students by leaders in both traditional and emerging fields in chemical engineering. The department is in an outstanding position as it moves forward to meet its mission statement: The Artie McFerrin Department of Chemical Engineering at Texas A&M University will be recognized as one of the best programs in the nation, fulfilling its part of TAMU’s mission with scholarship, leadership and innovation in all aspects of research, teaching and service. We will be known for the high quality of our learning environment, the depth of our scholarship, and our commitment to our profession.

The mission of the Department of Chemical Engineering at Texas A&M is to educate and prepare students for national and international leadership roles in industry, government, and academia; to attract top students to chemical engineering; to define and develop new directions in Chemical engineering fundamentals and practices, and in chemical engineering education and curricula; to be a valuable resource and service base to the State and to industry; and to provide leadership in solving problems of social and economic importance.

1.2. Administrative Structure The administrative organization of the department consists of the Department Head, Dr. Michael V. Pishko, the Associate Department Head for Graduate Programs, Dr. Daniel F. Shantz, the Associate Head for Undergraduate Programs, Dr. Mark T. Holtzapple, and the Assistant Head for Upper Division Programs, Dr. Lale Yurttas. The Associate Department Head for Graduate Programs also serves as the Graduate Advisor. All of these positions report directly to the Department Head. There are a number of committees within the department that serve the department administratively. The composition of the committees differs depending on the nature of their tasks; however, there are several that incorporate both staff and student membership. Section 1.4 has a list of the current departmental committees and the process by which committees are formed is shown in Appendix A (Faculty Guidelines).

The departmental staff, the business office staff, the computer technical staff, the information specialist, and shop staff report through the Academic Business Administrator, Lesley Bell, who reports directly to the Department Head. The Mary Kay O’Connor Process Safety Center’s staff reports directly to the center director; however, the department maintains an oversight umbrella of all staff to assist with Human Resource issues and to disseminate information/policy to all staff members.

1.3. Fiscal Information Every year, the state appropriates funds for the university. These funds are then distributed through the colleges to the individual departments. The department also receives funds though gifts from industry and private sources in the form of endowments and general gifts. The endowments generate income, which is also represented in the pie charts below. Finally, a large portion of the department’s funds comes from individual faculty research. We have summarized the past five years in Table 1 and Figures 1-6.

The department supports faculty depending on their duties (i.e., Center Directors, etc.) on the Academic Budget- state appropriated- for nine months. Departmental staff members also are paid from state funds on a twelve-month basis. The average, full-time equivalent, twelve- month salaries for Fiscal Year 2010 monthly and bi-weekly staff are $50,450 and $32,562, respectively. Research staff members are assigned to specific research groups and are funded through research grants and gift funds to particular groups. The average salary for this group based on a twelve-month full-time equivalent is $48,500. In both Research staff and Office staff categories, most employees are on payroll 100% of the time, however, there are a few part- time members.

The following tables and graphs illustrate our various sources of research and gift funding. These funds are crucial in the support of the Department, specifically our graduate program.

1.4. An overview of the faculty The target size for the Chemical Engineering Department is 30 faculty members, including tenured/tenure-track faculty and lecturers but not including visiting and adjunct faculty appointments. As of September 2009 the department has 25 tenure-track faculty, five senior lecturers and lecturers, three research professors, five jointly appointed faculty members, and four emeritus professors (Table 2). There are 13 faculty members who enjoy the rank of Professor, three faculty members who hold the rank of Associate Professor, and there are nine faculty members who hold the rank of Assistant Professor. Of these faculty, three are holders of an endowed chair, eight are holders of endowed professorships, and one holds a faculty fellowship (Table 3). The demographics of the 25 tenured/tenure-track faculty are: 5 females and 20 males, of which, 14 are white (not of the Hispanic descent), 3 Hispanic, and 8 are Asian. The average age of our faculty is 47.5 years with a standard deviation of 12.3 years and a range of approximately 40 years. Brief faculty biosketches are located in Appendix B and a listing of recent faculty awards in Appendix C.

The statistics on our faculty salaries are shown in Figure 7 for the past five years, in addition to a comparison with current national average chemical engineering salaries by rank.1 The charts demonstrate the competitive nature of the department’s average salaries, but if the University and College’s goal is for the department to be ranked in the top 10 chemical engineering department’s on a national basis, faculty salaries have to be competitive with the average high salaries. The department’s average salaries for full and associate professors are competitive with the national average; however, assistant professor salaries are slightly lagging.

1.6. Facilities The Artie McFerrin Department of Chemical engineering is very fortunate to have the new Jack E. Brown Chemical Engineering Building (occupied 2005) with outstanding space available for our undergraduate and graduate programs. The building’s first floor houses six general use

classrooms, computer laboratories, a student lounge, and a 600 square-foot computer cluster room. Department staff and faculty offices are located on the second floor, along with offices for the Mary Kay O’Connor Process Safety Center. Graduate student offices and research labs are located on floors three through seven. Building plans are shown in Appendix D.

Some highlights of this building include: • 205,000 gross ft2 • Super computer: 215 compute nodes with 600 cores, 1,014GB of working memory, Theoretical Maximum Computational Power > 5 Teraflops • 127 offices for students, faculty, and staff • 88 research and teaching facilities • 9 clean rooms (both Class 1000 and 100) • 6 general classrooms • 4 computer labs • 12 conference rooms- two have videoconference capability

• Administrative and staff- 14 offices • Faculty- 34 offices • Graduate students, research associates, post-docs, teaching assistants – 60 offices with the capability of 300 people

Laboratories Most of the research space within the Brown building consists of 56 individual 600 ft2 laboratories (Figure 9) that are assigned to individual faculty or as shared facilities. The

Figure 9. Typical research laboratory (left) and connecting utility corridor (right) in the Jack E. Brown Engineering Building

furnishings in the laboratories are modular and each laboratory can accommodate up to four 6’ fume hoods. Each laboratory is also connected to a central utility corridor that can house gas cylinders, storage cabinets, and refrigerators/freezers.

Classrooms Classrooms are scheduled by the university and are not part of departmental space, but within the new Jack E. Brown (JEB) chemical engineering building, we have priority and are able to schedule space for almost all of our current classroom needs. During the spring of 2009, nineteen of twenty-two sections of chemical engineering undergraduate lecture classes were taught in the chemical engineering building. CHEN classes not taught in JEB still have the latest in classroom technology. Class sizes typically are from 20 to 45 students. Classrooms in chemical engineering can seat from 47 to 120 and are fully equipped with the latest in classroom technology: • Smart Classroom - Data projector, desktop computer, VHS/DVD player, Classroom Performance System ("Clicker") receiver • Smart Sympodium • Document camera • Automated Control System • Wireless microphone Resources and Support In order to provide a 24/7 educational environment that gives our students the necessary background and experience with computing hardware and software, the department has a unique three-room student computer laboratory/study area totaling 4532 square feet.

Computing resources 1006 sq ft computer lab: 32 - 2.66 GHz Core 2 Duo, 2 GB RAM, 22” TFT Monitors

2108 sq ft computer lab: 42 – 3.6 GHz Pentium 4, 1 GB RAM 19” TFT Monitors; 6 – 3.2 GHz Pentium 4 1 GB RAM 19” TFT Monitors

The two student computer labs have computer screen projection capabilities that allow training on specialized software or teaching of computer concepts. These rooms are also used for the computer portions of the process design, process integration, numerical methods, and process control courses and allow computers to be integrated into the curriculum. Additional computer facilities are available at the university level and can be accessed directly from the departmental facilities through the campus network or from university supported computer labs. This wide array of facilities provides an excellent opportunity for students to become skilled in current computer technology.

Remote access to specialty software used in CHEN courses is being implemented via a Microsoft Terminal Server system. This system will allow up to 48 students to simultaneously use- computing resources from any personal computer connected to the Internet, increasing student productivity.

Other program facilities include a 910 square foot student lounge. The lounge is equipped with vending machines, microwaves, a sink, tables and chairs, and serves as a gathering place for students between classes. Lockers are provided for our students in the secure area outside the departmental computing facilities; our students have 24-hour ID-card access to all facilities.

The entire chemical engineering building provides wireless networking.

Software available to the students includes the following:

• Aspen Engineering Suite (Aspen+, Icarus Process Evaluator, Aspen Properties, and Hysys) • Bryan Research and Engineering’s ProMax • Matlab with Simulink • Labview • Microsoft Office 2007 • Gaussian/Gaussview • Polymath

For support the computational research groups in the department, a CAT cluster is maintained together with the departments of mechanical and civil engineering. This cluster is located in a dedicated room in 101 JEB and its performance parameters are outlined below. 64 1000 Mbits OS X nodes Dual Processor G5 2 MHz 2 GB RAM (Network) 10.4.7

Two full-time computer support personnel and three computer student workers provide all computer support for the department.

The Mary Kay O’Connor Process Safety Center Library is available to students of Texas A&M University and to the consortia members of the Process Safety Center. The library has over 13,000 titles ranging in categories from Process Safety to Risk Analysis and Case Histories to Manuals and Symposium Proceedings. The library holdings also include a set of Stanford Research Institute Process Economics manuals available for reference only. Corporations, retired experts in the process safety field and former faculty members donated over 75% of the titles located in the library. The material in this library is unique in the fact that many of the references and manuals are not published but specific to company processes or research specific and related to chemical engineering, process safety and many other chemical safety related topics. This library is unique because most of the resources have been donated and are very rare.

Visitors to the website (http://psc.che.tamu.edu/library) can search for material by category, title, keywords, or author. Many of the faculty members in the Artie McFerrin Department of Chemical Engineering give class assignments or research projects related to specific or unique topics with reference materials only available from the Center library. Because of this, many undergraduate students have been exposed to the facility and sparked them to seek out more information on and an understanding of process safety.

Graduate students utilize the library for their research and historical reference. There is software that has been provided by consortia members that help students with data compilations and risk analysis, which helps them with research and lab experiments. Faculty members within Chemical Engineering assign projects for undergraduates that require them to research material and documentation that is only available in the library. This helps introduce the Center, our safety program, and data collection to the students who may not be aware of the significance the Center has in making safety second nature.

Databases Currently the process safety center has three databases which are available and downloadable from the website.

⎯ OSHA Occupational and Injury Data (trend figures and summary data tables), available to the general public ⎯ Spontaneously Combustible Hazardous Materials, available to the consortia members only ⎯ Preliminary Accident Database, searchable online from the members area website

1.7. Lindsay Lectures The endowed Lindsay Lecture Series honors James Donald Lindsay, founder of the Department of Chemical Engineering at Texas A&M University. This lecture series brings in distinguished lecturers, who are experts in their field, from industry and other universities, laboratories and institutions to present their latest work to our students and faculty. In 2008, the department

created the McFerrin Lecturers, which are designed to have a prominent figure in chemical engineering give a series of lectures and spend additional time with our faculty and students. Below, we have provided a listing of lecturers for the last seven years.

1.8. Advisory Council and Their Role A very important body for constituent involvement is the CHEN Advisory Council, which includes 38 active members. The Advisory Board encompasses all key constituency groups: alumni, industry and co-op/intern employers, and corporate and private sponsors (see Appendix E). The Advisory Board members are regularly provided opportunities to interact with the current students and to receive updates on the status of our program. In turn, the Advisory Board provides feedback to the department head and faculty based on those updates and student interviews.

The advisory council consists of individuals who are friends and supporters of the department. Such friends and supporters will be primarily from the industrial sector, but selected members may be asked from the University Community. Since the Chemical Engineering program is an integrated program of graduate/undergraduate education and service, the committee represents a balance of individuals interested in these various programs. The membership shall

consist of no more than 75% to 80% Former Students and preferably 25-35% of graduates from other universities. The term service shall be for a period of four years and is renewable subject to the discretion of the department head. If a member of the Advisory Council misses more than one called meeting of the Council in a two-year period, the member automatically forfeits his/her membership on the Council.

2. Graduate Program

2.1. Research Centers

Mary Kay O’Connor Process Safety Center Chemicals play a key role in today’s high-tech world. The chemical industry is linked to every technologically advanced industry, and only a handful of the goods and services we enjoy on a daily basis would exist without essential chemical products. Furthermore, chemicals are a big business in Texas; where the state’s chemical complex is the largest in the world. The industry provides jobs for more than 85,000 Texans, and the state’s chemical products are shipped worldwide at a value of $15 billion dollars annually. The use of chemicals is a two-edged sword. Safe use creates a healthier economy and a higher standard of living. Unsafe use threatens our lives, our businesses and ultimately our world. For this reason, working and living safely with chemicals are the ultimate focus of the Mary Kay O’Connor Process Safety Center.

The Mary Kay O’Connor Process Safety Center was established and endowed in 1995 in memory of Mary Kay O’Connor, an Operations Superintendent killed in an explosion on October 23, 1989 at the Phillips Petroleum Complex in Pasadena, TX. In 1997, Dr. Sam Mannan, because of his reputation as a world-renowned expert in process safety, was appointed Director of the center. The center’s mission is to promote safety as second nature in industry around the world with goals to prevent future accidents. In addition, the Center develops safer processes, equipment, procedures and management strategies to minimize losses within the processing industry. However, the center realizes that it is necessary to advance process safety technologies in order to keep the industry competitive. Other functions of the center include that it serves all stakeholders, provides a common forum, and develops programs and activities

that will forever change the paradigm of process safety. The funding for the center comes from a combination of the endowment, consortium funding, and contract projects.

National Center for Therapeutics Manufacturing (NCTM) Texas ranks number 2-3 in basic biomedical research expenditures, but ranks number 27-30 in commercialization of biomedical research findings. This means that Texas is missing the economic and jobs benefits from early research and has never been successful in building a large commercial biotechnology or pharmaceutical base. A major reason for failure is that Texas is missing critical core facilities and “know how” to complete the drug development process within Texas.

The recently created NCTM will focus on graduate education and research on a variety of topics related to the manufacturing of therapeutic agents and vaccines. Technological solutions to problems associated with the development of flexible manufacturing processes and facilities will be sought and regulatory issues related to therapeutics manufacturing will be studied. The Center will build upon and expand existing research and academic projects and initiatives in the Dwight Look College of Engineering (primarily in the departments of chemical and industrial engineering). Programs and faculty within the Colleges of Architecture, Science and Agriculture & Life Sciences are also involved in the activities of the Center. NCTM is a joint TEES and TAMU Center because TEES administers the research programs of faculty in the Dwight Look College of Engineering. The mission of the National Center for Therapeutics Manufacturing is to work collaboratively with government entities, pharmaceutical companies, and other partners to develop and apply science and technology to develop technologies for rapid and flexible therapeutics manufacturing, and to educate the next generation of leaders in pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. The Center will also study regulatory implications related to highly flexible modular manufacturing. The Center is currently supported by a $50 million State of Texas grant, $42 million of which will be used to construct a building to house classroom and pilot scale laboratory facilities to support the Center’s educational programs and a small cGMP manufacturing floor for industrial partners. The NCTM building is currently scheduled for completion in December 2011. Plans for this facility are located in Appendix F.

The NCTM is the key program that will fill the critical gap in biopharma manufacturing in the State of Texas. The NCTM will enable universities and biotechnology companies to reap full value for their early discoveries, and keep all of their operations in Texas. Flexible manufacturing is the key attribute of the NCTM that will allow it to serve an extremely broad range of Texas researchers. Together with the pre-clinical programs at the College of Veterinary Medicine at TAMU, the NCTM will complete the entire intermediate and advanced development piece of pharmaceutical development. Dr. Michael Pishko is the current director of the NCTM.

2.2. Faculty Research Highlights The department is blessed with a very productive and intellectually diverse faculty. Below are a number of recent research highlights for our faculty in the last few years. These highlights are by no means all inclusive, but they provide one with a flavor for the multidisciplinary work occurring in the department.

Power Harvesting Research Could Bring about Next Generation of Electronics Utilizing materials known in scientific circles as “piezoelectrics,” Tahir Cagin, professor in the Artie McFerrin Department of Chemical Engineering whose research focuses on nanotechnology, has made a significant discovery in the area of power harvesting – a field that aims to develop self-powered devices that do not require replaceable power supplies, such as batteries. Specifically, Cagin and his partners from the University of Houston have found that a certain type of piezoelectric material can covert energy at a 100 percent increase when manufactured at a very small size – in this case, around 21 nanometers in thickness. What’s more, when materials are constructed bigger or smaller than this specific size they show a significant decrease in their energy-converting capacity, he said.

His findings, which are detailed in “Physical Review B,” the scientific journal of the American Physical Society, could have potentially profound effects for low-powered electronic devices such as cell phones, laptops, personal communicators and a host of other computer-related devices used by everyone from the average consumer to law enforcement officers and even soldiers in the battlefield. Many of these high-tech devices contain components that are measured in nanometers – a microscopic unit of measurement representing one-billionth of a

meter. Cagin’s discovery stands to advance an area of study that has grown increasingly popular due to consumer demand for compact portable and wireless devices with extended lifespans.

Advancement in Molecular Filters Could Lead to More Efficient Manufacturing Working with colleagues from the University of Minnesota, Hae-Kwon Jeong, assistant professor in Texas A&M’s Artie McFerrin Department of Chemical Engineering, has developed what the team believes to be a commercially viable membrane that achieves separation of molecules with a precision and efficiency never before realized. Their findings, which are published in the July edition of “Science,” could translate into more environmentally friendly and cost-efficient methods for producing everything from petrochemicals to pharmaceuticals. The research involves enhancing the performance of a particular type of molecular sieve, very small filters that help to separate molecules needed for important processes from other unnecessary and even sometimes detrimental molecules. Jeong’s research involved enhancing the application of molecular sieves by making molecular sieve membranes from zeolites. Zeolites are inorganic aluminosilicate structures containing numerous uniform pores, each less than a nanometer in diameter. When fabricated as thin films such as membranes, molecules pass through these minute pores as they are separated.

Creation of Artificial Vasculatures Could Advance Tissue Engineering Utilizing fractal patterns similar to those created by lightning strikes, Victor Ugaz, associate professor in the Artie McFerrin Department of Chemical Engineering, has created a network of microchannels that could advance the field of tissue engineering by serving as a three- dimensional vasculature for the support of larger tissue constructs, such as organs. Ugaz’s work, which was undertaken with colleague Arul Jayaraman and appears in “Advanced Materials,” is funded by the National Institutes of Health. The findings detail the construction of an elaborate network of fractal channels that mimic the naturally occurring vasculatures found in trees as well as in the human body. The controlled manufacturing of these networks, which are capable of supporting transport of fluid, is the first step in translating this work to a tissue engineering application where it potentially stands to make a significant impact. So far, Ugaz and his team have found that these fractal pathways can indeed serve as an elaborate vasculature that is capable of sustaining transport in manner suited for tissue engineering

purposes. What’s more, by adjusting certain variables, Ugaz can reliably reproduce these architectures not only in acrylic blocks but in biodegradable porous materials that allow for cell cultures to be embedded in the area surrounding the vasculature. He has even begun widening the vascular channels to facilitate flow through them and interconnecting separate networks to form larger vasculatures.

Biofuels Technology Could Help Relieve Nation of Dependence on Foreign Oil The MixAlco process, developed by Professor Mark T. Holtzapple and Research Engineer Cesar B. Granda, both in the Artie McFerrin Department of Chemical Engineering, is serving as significant step in helping relieve the United States’ dependence on foreign oil, which accounts for 73 percent of the oil used by the nation. The process is capable of producing renewable gasoline from biomass – any feedstock including, trees, grass, manure, sewage sludge, garbage, agricultural residues and energy crops. It does this by converting the biomass into mixed alcohols that can be blended into gasoline. Using additional steps, the alcohols can be converted into gasoline that is nearly identical to that which is derived from crude oil. A key aspect of the MixAlco process that differentiates it from more costly alternatives is its ability to rely on naturally occurring soil organisms to digest the biomass. This means that the MixAlco process doesn’t require the often costly sterile environments needed by other methods that utilize genetically engineered organisms, he explained. In addition, the alcohol-based fuels produced from the crops used by the MixAlco process are more productive in terms of net energy per acre than the well-publicized method that involves utilizing corn to produce ethanol. This means less land is required to grow feedstocks. Per acre, farmers can grow two to 10 times more energy crops than if they were growing corn. Just as important, this process is environmentally friendly. The combustion of biofuels is clean-burning and doesn’t contribute to global warming because no net carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere, he explained. Any carbon dioxide that is released is recycled through photosynthesis, unlike what occurs during combustion of fossil fuels. What’s more, there is less potential to damage ground water because less waste is being stored in landfills. In addition, the energy crops that the process uses require less fertilizer, pesticides, and herbicides than do traditional crops such as corn.

Research Yields New Details on Evolution Process Working with populations of yeast cells, which were color-coded by florescent markers, Katy Kao, assistant professor in the Artie McFerrin Department of Chemical Engineering and Stanford University colleague Gavin Sherlock, were able to evolve the cells while maintaining a visual analysis of the entire process. Their research, which appears in “Nature Genetics,” has resulted in the most detailed picture of the evolutionary process to date, revealing the evolutionary process to be much more dynamic than initially thought, with multiple beneficial adaptations arising within a population. These adaptations trigger a competition between these segments, known as “clonal interference.” It’s the first direct experimental evidence of this phenomenon in eukaryotic cells, or cells with nuclei, and it contrasts the widely accepted classical model of evolution, which doesn’t account for simultaneously developing beneficial adaptations. Instead that model adopts a linear approach, theorizing a population acquires such adaptations successively, one after another. Rather than a competition occurring, the model posits a complete replacement of one generation by another better-adapted generation. The knowledge of this process could prove to be very important because it helps paint a complete picture of an organism’s evolution. With that picture intact, scientists stand to gain a better understanding of the way certain highly resistant infections develop and progress.

Research Examines How Infections Begin in Human GI Tract Arul Jayaraman, assistant professor in the Artie McFerrin Department of Chemical Engineering, has developed an artificial system that mimics the unique bacteria-laden environment of the human gastrointestinal (GI) tract. The system is detailed in “Lab on a Chip” and represents a significant step in understanding bacterial interactions in the GI tract because it accurately simulates conditions within that area by enabling human epithelial cells to grow in balance with the naturally occurring bacteria (termed “commensal”) that reside in the GI tract. Jayaraman’ system is shedding light on how certain pathogenic bacteria strains such as E. coli cause infection in people begins by unraveling the complex “talk” between the trillions of cells living in the human GI tract.

Natural Gas Refining Process Results in Industry Breakthrough A refining process for converting natural gas into useable fuels conceived by Kenneth R. Hall, a professor in the Artie McFerrin Department of Chemical Engineering and the associate director 43

of the Texas Engineering Experiment Station is helping increase access to the roughly five quadrillion standard cubic feet of natural gas remotely located throughout the world. That’s the equivalent of about 500 billion barrels of oil that are currently inaccessible. The technology, which is licensed to Synfuels, focuses on efficient high-temperature natural gas conversion into acetylene, which is then converted into ethylene at moderate pressures and temperatures. After the ethylene passes through a catalytic reactor, it is converted into products such as gasoline and jet fuel. Synfuels representatives state the process yields a significantly higher amount of usable products than traditional industry standards and could mean millions of barrels of new petroleum products – all produced more efficiently and in an environmentally friendly method that helps reduce sources of global warming.

Deciphering Bacteria Language Could Lead to Better Methods for Fighting Infection Examining Escherichia coli bacteria – widely considered a model organism for microbiology studies – Professor Thomas K. Wood of the Artie McFerrin Department of Chemical Engineering has succeeded in identifying, decoding and even modifying cell-to-cell signals so that biofilm formation is inhibited. This understanding of the way bacterial cells “talk” to each other could lead to more effective methods for fighting the often persistent and serious infections caused by biofilms. Wood’s findings are covered in a series of five published articles, two of which appear in “The International Society for Microbial Ecology Journal” – a member of Nature Publishing Group’s stable of scientific publications. In addition, his progress is detailed in “The Public Library of Science ONE,” “Applied and Environmental Engineering” and in “BMC Microbiology.” Wood’s work is important in addressing the widespread health issues resulting from bacteria in its biofilm form. Put simply, biofilm is a protective and adhesive slime excreted by bacteria that have joined together to form a community. The National Institutes of Health estimate that about 90 percent of infections in humans are caused by biofilm. The Centers for Disease Control estimate biofilm to be present in 65 percent of hospital-acquired (nosocomial) infections. Biofilms have been linked to everything from gum diseases to cystic fibrosis. They typically are the cause for the fatal infections that develop post surgery. More commonly, biofilm is the chief culprit behind the nagging ear infections so common among children.

Researchers Explore Behavior of LNG-related Fires Spearheading a collaboration of more than 40 experts from industry, academia and various regulatory agencies, M. Sam Mannan, professor in the Artie McFerrin Department of Chemical Engineering, is working to develop models that can help predict the behavior of the intense fires resulting from a potential liquefied natural gas (LNG) tanker spill. Liquefied natural gas is natural gas that has been cooled to the point that it condenses to a liquid. That process reduces its volume by about 600 times, making it more economical to transport. For a fire or hazardous situation to occur, LNG must be ignited after first vaporizing and mixing with air in the proper proportions. That conversion can happen very quickly once a spill occurs. While the United States has federal regulations in place that address potential spills from land-based LNG facilities, regulations do not exist for LNG spills on water, despite the primary mode of transportation being sea-faring vessel. Working to develop a consensus approach in modeling these potential fires, Mannan’s group is examining numerous factors, including the size of the spill, its dispersion in water and the intensity of the heat radiation generated from a fire if the spill is ignited. These are all aspects of a pool-based LNG fire that will vary greatly from one that occurs over land.

Elucidating the Organic-Ordered Mesoporous Silica Interface Prof. Dan Shantz and his group are conducting research that is aimed at improving the pharmaceutical manufacturing process by developing new materials that play key roles in the chemical reactions required to produce drug molecules. These materials, which act as enantioselective catalysts for making drug molecules, could potentially improve the efficiency of the process, as they provide new, more environmentally benign, approaches to the creation of pharmaceuticals.

Catalyst Decay Fundamentals: Molecular Modeling In collaboration with UTC Power, Johnson Matthey and Brookhaven National Laboratory, Prof. Perla Balbuena is determining the optimal alloy nanoparticles to maximize durability and activity of fuel cell electrocatalysts using first-principles computational design. Fuel cells are expected to play a significant role as alternative power sources for a variety of devices ranging from cell phones to cars. The current project has specific goals set by DOE concerning the performance of the new catalytic materials. . 45

2.3. Office of Graduate Studies The Office of Graduate Studies (OGS) is responsible for administering the graduate program for the University. Responsibility directly related to graduate students includes: • Preparing and issuing policies, rules, and scheduling examinations governing the graduate program and graduate assistantships • Reviewing students’ records to determine whether they have complied with all the necessary degree requirements at each stage of their progress • Granting formal admission into the graduate program and approving the removal of students’ probationary status

Additionally, the Office of Graduate Studies is responsible for administering the Graduate Faculty. The Graduate Faculty consists of the President, the Executive Vice President and Provost, the Associate Provost, the Executive Director of the Office of Graduate Studies, the Deans of all colleges, selected Directors, and a properly qualified academic group appointed by degree programs of the University by serving on student advisory committees and teaching graduate courses. Individuals, regardless of rank, who are not members of the Graduate Faculty of Texas A&M University may not teach graduate courses or serve on student advisory committees unless the Office of Graduate Studies grants special approval.

The Department Head initiates nomination for membership on the Graduate Faculty. The Graduate Faculty is composed of Members, Associate Members, and Special Appointments. Members and Associate Members are selected from qualified individuals of the academic staff of Texas A&M University, from staff of other parts of the University, from the Texas A&M University System and from affiliated research organizations located in College Station. The Adjunct Member classification is used for recognized scholars who do not hold a permanent appointment to the faculty of the University, but otherwise meet the basis requirements for the status of Member. Special Appointments are temporary appointments to the Graduate Faculty that allow for the teaching of a single graduate course or for membership on a specific student’s advisory committee. The Special Appointment does not count towards the minimum number of graduate faculty necessary to form the committee. Almost all full-time faculty members in the Department are members of the graduate faculty.

The Department Graduate Advisor serves as a liaison between the Graduate Studies Office and the Department of Chemical Engineering on graduate matters. The Department Graduate Advisor is also responsible for establishing and maintaining a graduate student database and will normally act for the Department Head in certain graduate matters. Dr. Daniel Shantz serves as the Department Graduate Advisor and Ms. Towanna Arnold is the staff Assistant for Graduate Affairs.

2.4. Admission Process (University Level) The Texas A&M University formal graduate admission process is centralized and is administered by the Office of Admission and Records (OAR). Both paper-based and on-line graduate applications are accepted. In addition to the application, the University requires the Graduate Record Examination; official transcripts from all previously attended institutions, and three letters of recommendation. Applications are held at the OAR until GRE scores and official transcripts have been processed. Letters of recommendation are submitted electronically. The OAR (using the standards in the Handbook on Placement of Foreign Graduate Students by the National Association of Foreign Student Affairs in order to determine the applicant’s equivalent GPA) evaluates international transcripts. GRE scores may be self-reported by the applicant but must be verified by the start of the first semester of enrollment.

When the OAR releases the application to the Department, the graduate office will attach the material that has been previously submitted to the department (letters of reference, statement of purpose, resumes, previous publications, etc.). The application is then routed to the graduate program secretary who insures compliance with the departmental and university admission standards. The Graduate Recruiting Committee then reviews applications and makes recommendations to the department head regarding admissions. If the department head is in agreement with the recommendations, the committee chair notifies OAR about the admissions decisions. In addition to making the preliminary admission decision, the Graduate Recruiting Committee can make recommendations, with regard to prerequisite coursework, financial assistance, and English language requirements. The Office of Admission and Records officially notifies the applicant of the admission decision.

Entrance Requirements for Graduate Students The University computes the GPR (Grade Point Ratio) on a four-point scale for each applicant. The last 60 credit hours of completed coursework are used in computing the GPR for master’s applicants. For doctoral applicants, the GPR is computed for graduate coursework if a graduate degree has been conferred. Generally, a minimum GPR of 3.0 is required for admission into the graduate program at the master’s level since this minimum is required for graduate course work. The university strives for a graduate student population with GRE scores in the upper fifty percentile.

The Department considers various factors when making graduate admission decisions, such as quality of institutions previously attended, content of past academic work, letters of recommendation, applicant’s statement of purpose, personal interviews, and writing samples.

The University requires all international graduate students whose native language is not English to fulfill an English proficiency requirement. Verification of English proficiency can be achieved by a Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) score of at least 550 (213 computer based) or GRE Verbal score of 400. Those graduate applicants who are not verified must take the English Proficiency Examination (ELPE) prior to registering for courses in their first semester. The ELPE evaluates English skills in the area of grammar, vocabulary, reading, listening, written composition, and oral communication. The English Language Institute (ELI) administers the ELPE, and offers English courses in these areas. The Departmental Graduate Advisor, who then makes recommendations with the help of the ELI for remedial coursework.

2.5. The Chemical Engineering Graduate Program

Recruiting Efforts Graduate recruiting efforts are continuous and take several forms. In September of each year the Staff Assistant for Graduate Affairs mails packets of our graduate program information to various Chemical Engineering departments across the United States. This packet includes a graduate brochure, poster, summary information sheet, as well as a list of our outstanding undergraduates graduating within the year. Other universities in turn mail similar information

to our department. Students identified by other programs as interested in graduate school are contacted via mail with information including an introduction letter, a chemical engineering fact sheet, and a reply card. When the students respond, an application, and additional information is emailed to those who are interested in our program. The Departmental website is also used as a means to advertise the graduate program and includes information about the program, answers to frequently asked questions, and information about how to apply to the program. The department is also represented at the fall annual AIChE meeting graduate recruiting day. In addition to these efforts, faculty giving seminars at other ChE departments are encouraged to request to meet with seniors interested in graduate school. The department has a standard ‘set’ of power point recruiting slides for this purpose. One of the goals of the program is increase the percentage of high-quality domestic PhD students. In addition to the items mentioned above, the department leverages efforts at the college level through the Engineering Student Services and Programs Office (ESSAP). The department is also planning to initiate a more rigorous effort to recruit undergraduates from schools in the region.

Admissions Admissions decisions are made at the department level by the recruiting and admissions committee, a subcommittee of the graduate committee. Since Fall 2006, advising and admissions duties have been separated in the graduate committee. While all committee members are involved in policy issues, the Associate Head for Graduate Programs handles advising but does not formally participate in admissions. One person on the recruiting and admissions subcommittee is appointed by the Department Head to be ultimately in charge of admissions decisions. Of the seven faculty members on the Graduate Committee, five are on the recruiting and admissions committee.

The deadline for applications is January 1st and prior to this date, the Admissions Committee meets to review applications and recommend students for admission. In general, the department seeks students with a background in chemical engineering or closely related discipline, a GPA of 3.4, verbal GRE of 450 or greater and quantitative GRE of 750 or greater. However, none of these criteria are used solely to reject an application. The department

typically seeks to admit between 20-25 Ph.D. students and 0-5 M.S. students annually, depending on the needs of the faculty. Admitted domestic students and international students currently located in the US are invited to visit the department on an open house weekend in March. In an effort to increase the number of domestic graduate students in the department, we currently offer one-time “top-up” fellowships ranging from $2000 to $8000 for highly qualified students. The department also admits a few students at the beginning of each spring term to meet any additional faculty needs.

General degree requirements The primary graduate degrees administered by the Artie McFerrin Department of Chemical Engineering are the Doctor of Philosophy, the Master of Science (thesis and non-thesis options), and the Master of Engineering. In addition, the Dwight Look College of Engineering administers the Doctor of Engineering degree with Chemical Engineering as a subject area. The following sections describe the requirements for each of these degrees in more detail. A Degree Plan formally specifies the exact courses required and the Advisory Committee for each student and is prepared by the student in consultation with the Chair of his/her Advisory Committee. In this document a “term” is defined as a semester (e.g. fall or spring term) or a full summer. Detailed information regarding degree requirements can be found in the Graduate Handbook (Appendix G).

For all of the degree plans listed below, students must demonstrate minimum scholarship standards to remain in the graduate program. All students must maintain an aggregate GPR of 3.0 or higher. In the event a student’s aggregate GPR falls below a 3.0 they have one academic semester to remedy the situation. Failure to do that will result in dismissal from the graduate program. Similarly, a grade below C in any course will result in dismissal from the graduate program.

2.6. Doctor of Philosophy The PhD requires ninety-six hours beyond a baccalaureate degree or sixty four hours beyond a master’s degree. These totals include a significant amount of credit for CHEN 691 (research). Two hours of Departmental Seminar (CHEN 681) and two hours of Graduate Mentoring Seminar

(CHEN 689/695) must also be completed. The specific course requirements imposed by the Department of Chemical Engineering are that a PhD student must complete a minimum of 25 hours of formal course work beyond the baccalaureate degree. These courses are classified into two categories: required courses and electives.

Course requirements for completion of the PhD (degree plan) The following are the required 13 hours of courses that all PhD students must complete as core courses:

• CHEN 604: Chemical Engineering Process Analysis (3) • CHEN 623: Fundamentals and Applications of Thermodynamics for Chemical Engineers (3) • CHEN 624: Chemical Engineering Kinetics and Reactor Design (3) • CHEN 629: Advanced Transport Phenomena (3) • CHEN 601: Chemical Engineering Laboratory Safety and Health (1)

Total Credits: 13 “core” credits

The remaining 12 credit hours may be taken within the department, or outside the department (subject to the approval of the Graduate Advisor). Some points of note:

• The electives must be formal graduate-level courses and should be approved by the Graduate Advisor. In special cases, up to three credit hours of advanced undergraduate level courses outside chemical engineering may be taken outside the Department of Chemical Engineering. The student must submit a written petition approved by the Committee Chair of the student and the Graduate Advisor. • At least three hours of credit must be for courses taken outside the Department of Chemical Engineering. • Graduate courses completed at peer institutions and passed with a grade of B or better may be used towards satisfying the departmental electives. With approval of the Graduate Advisor, up to nine credit hours may be transferred from other institutions. These courses cannot have been used towards another degree. • Graduate courses cannot be retaken for credit. • In addition to the 12 hours of electives two hours of CHEN 681 (Seminar) and two hours of CHEN 695 (Graduate Mentoring Seminar) must appear on the degree plan

Thus, based on the above, a typical degree plan will include:

• 13 hours of “core” credits • 12 hours (typically four, three-credit courses) of electives • 2 hours of CHEN 681 (Seminar) • 2 hours of CHEN 695 (Graduate Mentoring Seminar) • Remainder (69 hours) CHEN 691 (Research)

Students who enter the PhD program with a BS must spend a minimum of two academic years in resident study. Students who enter the PhD program with a master degree must spend a minimum of one academic year (2 adjacent terms) in resident study. To satisfy the continuous residence requirement, the student must complete a minimum of 9 credit hours per semester or 6 credit hours for a 10-week summer semester.

Steps for Completing a PhD Degree in Chemical Engineering at Texas A&M University 1. Select a research advisor by the end of the student’s first term at Texas A&M. Science majors should see the Graduate Advisor to determine their effective starting dates for this timetable. A “term” is a semester or a full summer. 2. File the degree plan by the end of the first calendar year (three terms) at Texas A&M. This step is necessary to continue receiving financial aid beyond three terms at Texas A&M. 3. Complete the Proficiency exam satisfactorily (details below). 4. Complete the Research Proposal, pass the Preliminary Exam, and submit the Research Proposal to the Office of Graduate Studies, by the end of the sixth semester in residency. If the student fails to meet these time limits, he/she must request permission from the Head of the Department of Chemical Engineering to continue receiving financial aid. 5. Students must satisfy the Department presentation criterion by participating in the Departmental Symposia; second year students present in the summer symposium (generally in May), and fourth year students present in the winter symposium (generally in January). 6. Finish the dissertation, pass the final oral examination, and meet the Departmental Publication Criterion (details appear on p 6). File the dissertation and follow the check-out procedure (see the Assistant for Graduate Affairs for a check-out form).

Departmental Doctoral Proficiency Examination The purpose of the Chemical Engineering Doctoral Proficiency Examination is to determine the student's qualifications for a PhD degree, determined on the basis of the student to demonstrate competency in a common body of knowledge. Two criteria evaluate these skills:

1. Course Criterion: This criterion assesses the student’s performance in the four “core” chemical engineering courses (604, 623, 624, and 629). A minimum GPA of 3.25 in these core classes is necessary for continuation into the PhD program. 2. Written Proficiency Exams. The Department Proficiency exams are used to assess a student’s competency in a common body of knowledge, and are outlined below.

Timing

The written proficiency exams will be administered two times per year, in January and May. All PhD students are expected to sit for these exams at the end of their first semester in residency.

Format

The proficiency will consist of three two-hour exams. One will cover thermodynamics/material balances, one will cover kinetics/reactor design, and one will cover fluid mechanics/transport. These exams are to focus on undergraduate level problems/concepts. More specifically, these problems should be of a level that a student earning a B in the corresponding undergraduate course at TAMU could reasonably be expected to solve. The exams are closed book.

Evaluation

Within two weeks of taking the exams, the students will be notified of their performance. There are three outcomes for each of the three exams. The first is pass, the second is fail (retake), and the third is fail (terminal MS). The pass option means the students has fulfilled this criterion for the exam in question. The fail retake option would be invoked for a student who fails one or two of the three exams the first time they are taken. The student would not have to retake any of the individual exams where a pass grade was made. The fail terminal MS option means that the student’s final degree from Texas A&M will be an MS degree. This

option would be invoked for a student who has either (1) failed any one of the exams twice, or (2) failed all three exams the first time they were taken.

Process for Handling Students Who Do Not Satisfactorily Meet These Two Criteria:

In the event that a student does not satisfy the requirements, the following courses of action will be pursued:

1. Students failing to meet the Course Criterion cannot proceed to the PhD. The student can pursue a Master of Science or Engineering as the terminal degree from the Chemical Engineering Department. 2. Students who fail one or two of the three written proficiency exams must retake and pass them the following semester. Students who fail all three exams in the first sitting or fail any exam in two consecutive sittings can pursue a Master of Science or Engineering as the terminal degree from Chemical Engineering Department.

Should the student fail to meet either criterion one or two above, the student can petition the Department Head requesting an exemption. The Department Head will consider petitions on a case-by-case basis.

Departmental Publication Criterion As a means to encourage and foster scholarship in the Department has implemented the following minimum Publication Criterion for PhD students:

• At the time of the thesis defense two papers should be accepted/in press/in print.

Students who do not meet this criterion will have to petition the Department Head requesting a waiver.

2.7. Master of Science (MS) Degree: Thesis Option The Master of Science with thesis option requires a minimum of 32 semester credit hours of approved courses and research. Of those hours, a minimum of 25 credit hours must be formal course work. In addition, the student must complete two credit hours of CHEN 681 (seminar) and one hour of CHEN 695 (Graduate Mentoring Seminar) to satisfy the departmental requirements. The remaining credits are for research.

MS candidates must present the results of their research in a seminar open to the public, as part of their Final Examination. A Final Examination is necessary (departmental policy precludes approval of the waiver discussed in the Graduate Catalog). The specific course requirements of the department appear in this section. Satisfactory completion of an equivalent course at another institution is an acceptable fulfillment of the departmental requirement. Only technical (science or engineering) courses can satisfy these requirements.

Course requirements for completion of the MS (thesis option) The student must complete thirteen hours of core courses:

• CHEN 604: Chemical Engineering Process Analysis (3) • CHEN 623: Fundamentals & Applications of Thermodynamics for Chemical Engineers (3) • CHEN 624: Chemical Engineering Kinetics and Reactor Design (3) • CHEN 629: Advanced Transport Phenomena (3) • CHEN 601: Chemical Engineering Laboratory Safety and Health (1)

Total Credits: 13 “core” credits

The remaining 12 credit hours of formal course work may be taken within the department, or outside the department (subject to the approval of the Graduate Advisor).

• The electives must be formal graduate-level courses and should be approved by the Graduate Advisor. In special cases, up to three hours of advanced undergraduate level courses outside the field of chemical engineering may be taken outside the Department of Chemical Engineering. A written petition by the student must be submitted and approved by the student’s Committee Chair and the Graduate Advisor. • At least three hours of credit must be for courses taken outside the Department of Chemical Engineering. • Graduate courses completed at other institutions and passed with a grade of B or better may be used towards satisfying the departmental electives. With approval of the Graduate Advisor, up to nine credit hours may be transferred from other institutions. These courses cannot have been used towards another degree. • All degree plans must have at least 1 hour of research CHEN 691 included.

• In addition to the 12 hours of electives two hours of CHEN 681 (Seminar) and one hour of CHEN 695 (Graduate Mentoring Seminar) must appear on the degree plan

The remainder of the 32 hours may be a combination of electives, research (691), and directed studies (685). It is important to note that no more than 12 hours may be used in any combination of the following categories:

• No more than 8 hours of 691 (Research). • No more than 8 hours of 685 (Directed Studies). Note that Directed Studies cannot be taken for a formal letter grade, but rather 685 hours are pass/fail. • In special cases, a maximum of 3 hours of advanced undergraduate courses (300-or 400- level) outside the Department of Chemical Engineering may be used. The student must submit a written petition to be approved by the Committee Chair of the student and the Graduate Advisor.

Thus, based on the above, a typical degree plan will include:

• 13 hours of “core” credits • 12 hours (typically four, three-credit courses) of electives • 2 hours of CHEN 681 (Seminar) • 1 hour of CHEN 695 (Graduate Mentoring Seminar) • Remainder would consist of CHEN 691 or CHEN 685

Steps for Completing an MS Degree in Chemical Engineering at Texas A&M University Students must follow these steps for completing an MS Degree:

1. Select a research advisor by the end of the student’s first term at Texas A&M. 2. File the degree plan by the end of the student’s second semester (two terms) at Texas A&M. 3. Complete the Thesis Proposal, finish the thesis, and pass the final examination. File the thesis and follow the department check-out procedure.

Continuation into the PhD program. If a student who completes a non-terminal thesis-MS wishes to continue into the PhD program, they must as a minimum, meet the following criteria:

1. The student must have at least a 3.25 in the four core graduate courses 2. The student must take and pass the proficiency exams as outlined above

In addition to these criteria the student’s committee must submit a memorandum to the Associate Head for Graduate Programs supporting the student’s request. It is also expected that the student’s advisor will write a letter supporting the student’s application, explaining why (or why not) the student should be allowed into the PhD program provided criteria 1 and 2 above are satisfied. Also, students who complete the MS thesis degree and continue on into the PhD program have to take at least one CHEN graduate elective for credit after switching from the MS to PhD program. This is in order to have an official GPR for their PhD work, per the requirements of OGS.

2.8. Master of Science (MS) Degree: Non-Thesis Option The non-thesis Master of Science option requires a minimum of 32 semester credit hours of approved courses and does not include a thesis.

Course requirements for completion of the MS (Non-thesis option) The student must complete 12 hours of core courses:

In addition, the student must complete two credit hours of CHEN 681 (seminar). A student pursing the non-thesis option cannot enroll in any 691 (research) for any reason and cannot use any 691 hours for credit towards the non-thesis degree. A maximum of 4 credit hours of 684 (Professional Internship), and/or 8 hours of 685 (Directed Studies) can apply toward the non- thesis option degree. In addition, any combination of 684 and/or 685 cannot exceed 25 percent of the total credit hour requirement shown on the degree plan. Electives may be taken

within the Department of Chemical Engineering or outside it, subject to the same conditions mentioned earlier in the Master of Science thesis option. A typical degree plan for a MS non- thesis degree will look comparable to the degree plan for a MS thesis option degree with the differences noted above.

2.9. Master of Engineering (MEng) Degree The Master of Engineering option requires a minimum of 32 semester credit hours of approved courses. The degree requires a minimum of 30 credit hours of graduate-level courses. In addition, the student must complete two credit hours of CHEN 681 (seminar) to satisfy the departmental requirements. Graduate students enrolled in this program can select one of the two available options: the MEng degree with Certificate in Business option, or the MEng degree emphasizing technical course work and providing limited exposure to research (CHEN 685). The course requirements for this degree appear below in this section. An equivalent course at another institution may be used to fulfill a department requirement if it has not been used toward another degree. The student must complete 12 hours of core chemical engineering courses as well as two hours of departmental seminars:

Course requirements for completion of the MEng Degree Core CHEN Courses:

In addition, to the student must complete two hours of CHEN 681 (seminar) to satisfy the departmental requirements:

CHEN 681: Seminar (2)

Total Credits: 14 CHEN hours.

Additionally, 6 credit hours of electives should be taken within the department (or outside the department subject to the approval of the Graduate Advisor).

• The electives must be formal graduate-level courses approved by the Graduate Advisor. In special cases, up to three hours of advanced undergraduate level courses may be taken outside the Department of Chemical Engineering Department. The student’s Committee Chair and the Graduate Advisor must approve a written petition. • Graduate courses completed at other institutions and passed with a grade of B or better may be used towards satisfying the departmental electives. With approval of the Graduate Advisor, up to nine 3-credit hours courses may be transferred from other institutions. These courses cannot have been used towards another degree.

Total Credits: 20 credit hours.

MEng with Certificate in Business Option In addition to the 20 credit hours specified in the previous section, the following business courses are required:

• ACCT 640 Accounting Concepts and Procedures (3) • FINC 635 Financial Management for Non Business (3) • MGMT 655 Survey of Management (3) • MKTG 621 Survey of Marketing (3) Total 12 credit hours

These courses do not have business course prerequisites. When the student has successfully completed the required courses and notified to the Mays Graduate School of Business, the Mays Graduate School of Business will issue a certificate.

MEng with Technical Course Option Twelve hours of course work beyond the 20 credit hours specified above, are also required. These 12 credit hours may be taken within the department, or outside the department (subject to the approval of the Graduate Advisor). This degree also requires one or two written reports, which are normally submitted to satisfy requirements for CHEN 685 or CHEN 684.

2.10. Masters of Science in Safety Engineering At the request of the College of Engineering, the chemical engineering department assumed administration of the Safety Engineering (SENG) program from the nuclear engineering department in 2006. As with all Master of Science degrees requiring a thesis, a minimum of 32 semester credit hours of approved courses and research is required. This program consists of 24 hours of courses, 8 hours of 691 research hours (including a thesis). This program includes extensive engineering applications with integration of safety principles, safety practices, and case studies. Of those 24 hours of coursework, 12 hours of SENG core courses are required in the degree plan. The remaining 12 hours of coursework will be electives as determined by the Director of the Safety Engineering program (Prof. M. Sam Mannan) in discussion with the student based on the student’s area of specialization. These courses can come from any graduate level course and 400 level undergraduate courses as outlined in the graduate course catalog for the Master of Science degree. The use of courses from outside the Texas A&M University System to transfer to the degree will be used only on a case-by-case basis and must comply with university requirements

For the Fall 2009 semester according to OISP there are five students enrolled in the program. From Fall 2004 through Fall 2007, the semester enrollment has fluctuated between 1 and 2 students. Since then, we have increased the enrollment and are looking for ways to continue to grow this degree, including offering the degree via distance learning.

2.11. Doctorate of Engineering (DEng) The Doctor of Engineering degree is administered by the College of Engineering. It requires 96 hours beyond the baccalaureate or 64 hours beyond a Master’s degree. Of the 96 hours, a minimum of 80 must be course work, and up to 16 credits can be obtained for professional internships. The internship, which is required and which must be for a minimum of one calendar year, is spent under the supervision of a practicing engineer in industry, business, or government. Responsibility for finding an appropriate internship position is entirely that of the student and must be approved prior to committing to the internship. The course work includes required core courses in accounting, communications, finance, law and policy, management, labor relations and ethics, a professional development seminar, department-oriented

(technical) graduate courses, engineering design courses, and graduate electives. Additional details about this program may be obtained from the D. Eng. Representative in the department, the Academic Programs Office of the College of Engineering, and the Graduate Catalog.

2.12. Degree Plan Students must file their degree plans by the end of the first calendar year that they have been at Texas A&M University. The procedure for doing so consists of completing a departmental degree plan, signed by the student and his/her advisor that explains in detail how the student is going to meet the course work requirements for his/her degree. With that departmental degree plan, students submit to the Graduate Advisor an unsigned university degree plan form indicating the courses that they have taken at Texas A&M and those they plan to take. Courses used at another university toward a degree cannot be put in the degree plan to satisfy requirements for a degree.

When the Graduate Advisor is satisfied with the departmental and university degree plans, he/she signs both documents. For the university degree plan, the students must obtain signatures from their committee members. The signed departmental and university degree plans are submitted to the Assistant for Graduate Affairs who obtains a signature from the Department Head and files the papers appropriately.

2.13. CHEN 695 – Graduate Mentoring Seminar Another goal of the graduate program is to mentor students. This is primarily achieved through the advisor-student relationship. The department also contributes to this by facilitating student professional development. This not only helps enable the research mission of the Department, but also helps students develop skills as educators. To facilitate this, the Department has developed a graduate mentoring seminar (CHEN 695) that all graduate students seeking thesis degrees (MS thesis, PhD) are expected to take. The Associate Head for the Graduate Program is responsible for coordinating this seminar, along with help from various faculty as appropriate. This seminar course has two components. The first is student participation in the classroom, as all advanced degree holders will find themselves in the role of educator either formally or informally. Specifically the students will be expected to spend approximately 10 hours per week with the course they are assigned to, broken down as follows:

1. Attend class (~3 hours per week) 2. Hold formal office hours (2-3 hours per week) 3. Coordinate grading of homework (~5 hours per week)

Both the students in the course and the faculty member teaching the course will evaluate the graduate student’s performance. The second component is a formal classroom-mentoring seminar. This seminar will cover a broad range of topics/skills. Possible topics include:

1. Helping graduate students develop/refine skills that will enable them to successfully interact with students a. Center for Teaching Excellence seminar(s) b. Seminars on public speaking c. Seminars run by faculty covering topics relevant to the classroom 2. Augmenting formal training students receive from their advisors a. Lab practices b. Support/assistance in developing technical writing skills c. Support/assistance in developing presentation skills d. Lab / research ethics 3. Broadening student perspectives a. Discussion of current scientific/technical issues in the public eye b. Outlines different career possibilities for graduate students upon leaving Texas A&M 4. Reinforcing concepts learned in the classroom and helping demonstrate their application in research 5. “Refresher” seminars in ChE topics before Department seminars Some other points of note:

• University centers/resources (e.g. Center for Teaching Excellence) would be utilized where appropriate. • PhD students will enroll in this seminar twice. MS (thesis option) students will enroll in this seminar once

• The fall and spring semester versions would have about 30% of the content in common (that related to classroom assistance/instruction), the rest would approach the same topics from different angles or cover different topics • The course will be graded as pass/fail. Student performance (i.e. whether they get an S or U grade) will be assessed by the course instructor and students enrolled in the CHEN course the student is involved with, and the CHEN 695 instructor. • Associate Head for Graduate Programs is in charge of the CHEN 695 seminar and will involve other faculty as needed or as appropriate.

2.14. Advisory Committees The responsibility for guiding and directing the entire academic program of a graduate student lies with the student's Advisory Committee. Master level committees consist of at least three members of the Graduate Faculty, one of whom must be from outside the Department of Chemical Engineering. Doctoral level committees consist of at least four members of the Graduate Faculty, one of whom must be from outside the Department of Chemical Engineering. Additional details about the Advisory Committee appear in the Graduate Catalog for each graduate degree.

Selection of Research Advisor. Students select advisors during their first semester at TAMU. The procedure for this is outlined in the timeline below for the case of students entering in the Fall academic semester. • Graduate Student Orientation: Associate Head for the Graduate Program gives students a general overview of the advisor selection process. • End of first week of class: students receive packet of abstracts outlining PhD and MS projects available. • Second week of class: students begin attending research seminars. There are two one- hour slots each week for faculty to give 30 minute talks to the students. These generally take place for 4-6 weeks, depending on how many faculty need to present. • Sixth to Eighth week of class: students will be required to submit their choices for advisor selection to the Graduate Advisor.

It is essential that the students carefully consider all options when picking a faculty advisor. As part of the advisor selection process, all students must speak with at least five faculty members who are recruiting students during that academic year and all students must speak to any junior faculty member seeking to recruit their first two PhD students. Students will be given forms to have the faculty sign verifying that they have spoken. Beyond these specific requirements, the students are encouraged to meet with all faculty. This is a unique opportunity for both the new graduate students and faculty to become acquainted with one another and to help build ties and communication between the students and faculty.

The selection of a research advisor is the most important decision a graduate student will make and should not be taken lightly. Changing advisors can not only adversely impact the student, but can hurt the research program of the advisor and other students who may have wanted to join that group but were unable. Once an advisor selection has been made, the Associate Head for Graduate Programs must approve a change of advisor. Unless there is cause, such as misconduct or loss of funding, such requests will not likely be granted.

If a student is having problems with their research, they are required to speak first to their advisor honestly and openly. If they do not feel comfortable doing this, then they may speak to the Associate Head for Graduate Programs about the situation in their research group.

Selection of Committee Members. After the student has a Research Advisor (who also serves as the Committee Chair), the student and the Advisory Committee Chair jointly select the remaining members of the Advisory Committee, subject to the stipulations given in the Graduate Catalog. More than the minimum number of committee members may be appointed.

The membership of the Advisory Committee is established formally by submitting the degree plan to the Associate Head for Graduate Programs of the Department for verification that departmental requirements are met, and then it is passed to and signed by the Department Head before submission to the Office of Graduate Studies. Degree plans should be submitted no later than one year after first enrollment. Additional information about the degree plan is available in the Graduate Catalog.

2.15. Financial Support Financial support is available to chemical engineering graduate students in various forms from several different sources within the University. The Chemical Engineering Department offers the following financial assistance opportunities: • Graduate Assistant – Teaching (GAT) • Graduate Assistant – Non-Teaching (GANT) • Graduate Assistant – Research (GAR) • Graduate Fellowships

Both the GAT and GANT assistantships are used to assist faculty with course preparation and grading. The GAT designation is used when the normal duties of the graduate student include direct interaction with students. GATs are used by the Department to teach undergraduate courses, as needed. GARs are used by the department faculty to conduct research on various projects. The English language proficiency requirements are higher for GATs than GANTs, as required by the state. All assistantship appointments are for half-time employment (20 hours per week).

For the Fall 2009 semester, the Department employed 2 GATs, 22 GANTs and 45 GARs. Similar numbers are anticipated for the spring semester. Stipends for graduate assistantships are $1800 per month but are scheduled to be raised to $2000 per month in September 2010. The department provides payment of tuition and fees and medical insurance in addition to the stipend. Non-resident graduate students are entitled to in-state tuition rates when holding a half-time assistantship.

The University or the Department does not provide full tuition waivers on regular basis for those students not supported by assistantships. However, the department has several sources of fellowship gift, and graduate enhancement funds available that can be used to offset tuition and fees (approximately $3000) for more qualified graduate students. The department has approximately four endowed graduate fellowships at various funding levels. Additionally, approximately ten $1000 fellowships are given annually to unfunded graduate students on a competitive basis. While the dollar amount is relatively small, it is large enough to qualify the recipient for in-state tuition and, therefore, it becomes a valuable recruiting tool.

Both the University and the College of Engineering provide funding for graduate fellowships. The University’s Regent’s Fellowship program provides between $10,000 and $12,000 annually to the Department and is typically awarded to the Department’s more qualified graduate student. The College of Engineering provides $10,000 annually to the Department through its Endowed Fellowship program. The Department uses this money in similar fashion as the Regent’s Fellowships. As mentioned previously, the department also offers top-up fellowships designed to increase the number of domestic graduate students.

3. Graduate Courses

3.1. Graduate course offerings in chemical engineering

The graduate courses offered by the Department reflect the breadth and depth of the discipline. As outlined above there are four core courses that all graduate students takes. Beyond that there are several electives offered to enable students to take courses more geared to their specific areas of research. One issue that the department is attempting to align and develop clusters of electives around the research foci of the department.

Finally, given the numerous hires in the department over the last five years several graduate courses have been taught as CHEN 689 courses (special topics).

4. Graduate Demographics, Ranks, and Performance

4.1. Target Size of Graduate Program The current enrollment for the College of Engineering is 10,600 students, of whom 25% should be graduate students. Presently, in the Department of Chemical Engineering, approximately 17% of the students are, in fact, graduate students. Over the years the faculty has discussed a variety of ratios for the undergraduate to graduate population, including a possible target ratio of one graduate student to two to three undergraduate students. Presently, our graduate population is fairly stable at roughly 110 students. To meet these target ratios would mean a graduate population of 25% - 40% of the total enrollment in the Department, and the major debate is over how to reach these ratios. While graduate students are admitted after the review by the Graduate Recruiting Committee and department head, the admission of undergraduates rest primarily with the University. The balance between master’s and doctoral student populations varies in each specialty areas, but a reasonable target might be a graduate

student population consisting of 90% doctoral and 10% masters. We have always focused our attention on the recruitment of highly qualified graduate students and the considerations necessary to place our top doctoral program graduates in the top research universities in the nation. These goals are considered attainable as we acquire a larger full-time faculty and efficiently manage our course offerings, but help from programs now being initiated at the college and university levels are crucial to our success.

4.4. Theses and Dissertations Thesis and dissertations must be submitted in a format acceptable to the Office of Graduate Studies. The Thesis Clerk, located at the Sterling C. Evens Library determines the acceptability of the submitted document. Specific guidelines are available for students on-line, but note in particular the following information:

“Thesis, dissertation and records of study that, because of excessive corrections, and deemed unacceptable by the Thesis Clerk, will be returned to the student’s department head. The manuscript must be submitted as a new document, and the entire process must begin again. All original submission deadlines must be met during the resubmission process in order to graduate that semester.”

Binding services for copies not submitted to the Thesis Clerk are available though the University Printing Center. It is customary to offer a bound copy to the chair of the Advisory Committee and the Fellowship Sponsor if the student had been offered one though the department.

5. Strategic Plan/Program Assessment The Department of Chemical Engineering at Texas A&M University is recognized for its strong programs and the quality of its graduates. It has maintained close ties with industry, and its graduates have distinguished themselves throughout the breadth of the process industries, which include the traditional refinery and petrochemical processes, but also food, pulp and paper, as well as the electronic, pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. The Department’s programs are among the strongest in the Nation with extensive industrial recruitment of our graduates. The Department produces slightly less than 3% of the Nation’s chemical engineers at all degree levels.

5.1. Vision The Artie McFerrin Department of Chemical Engineering at Texas A&M University will be recognized as one of the best programs in the nation, fulfilling its part of TAMU’s mission with scholarship, leadership and innovation in all aspects of research, teaching and service. We will be known for the high quality of our learning environment, the depth of our scholarship, and our commitment to our profession.

5.2. Mission The mission of the Artie McFerrin Department of Chemical Engineering at Texas A&M University is to foster a community of learning and scholarship, to create new knowledge and technology, and to enable our graduates to identify and achieve their goals.

5.3. Core Values ⎯ Mutual respect for each other and our efforts in scholarship, teaching, and service is essential. ⎯ Collegiality and cooperation are hallmarks of a vibrant and productive faculty. ⎯ Teaching and research are activities that reinforce and enhance each other. ⎯ Respect for all students is vital. ⎯ Diversity in our faculty and amongst our students is a goal we seek. ⎯ We are honored to serve in academia.

5.4. Stakeholders ⎯ Undergraduate students and their families ⎯ Graduate students and postdoctoral fellows ⎯ Alumni and benefactors ⎯ Employers of chemical engineering graduates ⎯ State and federal agencies ⎯ Faculty and staff

5.5. Outcomes In order to help the department fulfill its mission, the graduate program seeks to achieve the following outcomes:

⎯ Outcome 1: The graduate programs in CHEN should attract quality students. ⎯ Outcome 2: The graduate programs in CHEN should produce graduate students capable of performing quality research. ⎯ Outcome 3: The graduate programs in CHEN should produce students in demand from both industry and academia.

The second outcome would not necessarily apply to our Master of Engineering programs, as those are non-research oriented degree programs. However, many of our MEng students have the necessary tools to participate in research activities, even though they may have not yet had such experiences.

5.6. Measures The extent to which the graduate program is achieving these outcomes will be measured using the following metrics:

⎯ Outcome 1 – Quality of Incoming Students o GRE scores of incoming graduate students o Admission selectivity o Number of students receiving prestigious fellowships (e.g., NSF fellowships, Graduate Merit Fellowships)

⎯ Outcome 2 – Quality of Student Research o Number of student publications in peer-reviewed archival journals o Number of student research awards (e.g., best paper awards) o Number of patents ⎯ Outcome 3 – Demand of Graduates o Salaries of graduates (as compared to national averages) o Percentage of graduates employed in engineering positions upon or soon after graduation o Number of graduates in faculty positions

5.7. Data Collection Data collection will be coordinated through the Department Graduate Office. Statistics regarding the measures associated with Outcome 1 have been collected for a number of years. Some are presented in this self-study. Statistics regarding the measures associated with Outcomes 2 and 3 will be collected through the use of an exit interview. Starting with the Fall 2008 semester, anytime a graduate student applies for graduation, they will be asked to complete an exit survey, which will provide us with the measures specified. The Graduate Studies Committee will review the data collected and make recommendations for improvements on a yearly basis.

5.8. Strengths and weaknesses of the program

Strengths ⎯ Successful, multidisciplinary faculty: We have a number of excellent faculty that are quite productive both in terms of scholarship and external research funding. In addition, a number of our junior faculty have won the prestigious NSF CAREER award and other faculty have been honors from AIChE. Areas of research excellence include: o Biomolecular/bioprocess engineering o Microfluidics o Molecular computation o Systems engineering o Nanomaterials & catalysis

⎯ Strong alumni base: The department’s alumni have been very generous, particularly in terms of gifts, endowments, and time donated to the department. Currently our department has over $20 million in endowments, making it one of the most successful departments in the College in terms of development. ⎯ Strong industrial support: The department has an excellent relationship with industry, particularly those in the petrochemical and energy sectors. We currently have research programs funded by BP, Shell, Sabic, Dow, Terrabon, Eastman, and Chevron to name a few. Our graduate students have been readily able to find employment with these and other companies.

Weaknesses ⎯ Departmental climate: The department has been plagued for a number of years by infighting amongst faculty (both between individuals and between ranks) and a general mistrust of departmental administration and each other. This has manifested itself in the form of hostility at faculty and departmental committee meetings, hostile email exchanges copying the entire faculty, a lack of faculty engagement in departmental affairs, and the proliferation of conspiracy theories. This is by far the greatest challenge the department faces and strongly influences the function of the department, faculty retention, and hiring. o Actions: The department has hired an organization psychologist, Dr. Nancy Algert-Watson, to find the root of climate problems, mediate disputes, and help develop a more positive and productive working environment for all faculty. Dr. Algert-Watson is a trained mediator and has many years of experience working with academic departments. ⎯ Perception and lack of visibility: Both past and currently issues with climate have caused a negative external perception of the department, even though the department has a very productive faculty, an extremely generous alumni base, and excellent facilities. o Actions: In addition to pro-actively seeking to improve departmental climate, the department is working to increase departmental visibility and improve perception through an aggressive communications strategy

⎯ Junior faculty retention: The department has been perceived as a good place to start one’s career but not necessarily a good place to remain in the long term. This has resulted in a number of junior faculty departures over the last 10 years, including to departments of lower rank. o Actions: In addition to pro-actively seeking to improve departmental climate, the department is working to retain junior faculty through the use of developmental professorships and departmental resources to improve facilities and recruit better graduate students. ⎯ Lack of domestic graduate students: As with many engineering programs throughout the country, our graduate program suffers from a noticeable lack of domestic students. The department, college and university administration has put significant effort and resources into improving this situation. We have seen some gradual improvement in this area, but we still have a long way to go in this respect. o In an effort to increase the number of domestic graduate students in the department, we have started to offer top-up fellowships to top U.S. students. In addition, efforts are underway to develop more endowed graduate fellowships in the department. We have some encouraging growth in domestic student enrollment (Figure 20); however, the challenge will be sustaining this trend.

⎯ Lack of growth in the academic budget: Although the department has grown over the last five years through the reinvestment program, the operational budget of the department has not grown proportionally. This means that the department has very limited funds for new staff, technicians and teaching assistants. Having better support in this area would enable the faculty to be more productive. ⎯ Lack of major federally funded centers: One noticeable weakness in the department is the absence of major, multi-year federally funded research programs/centers that involve multiple faculty.

5.9. Evolution of the Graduate Program over the Last Five Years The Chemical Engineering department has undergone significant transformation since the last doctoral program review. As outlined in the first chapter there have been approximately 12 faculty hires as part of the faculty reinvestment program. The quality of the core infrastructure and resources has improved dramatically via the new building and the endowment of the department respectively. The undergraduate program has undergone substantial growth. The graduate program has also seen many changes as well. Some of the key changes include:

• A more systematic approach to admissions • A PhD qualifying process that allows the PhD student to know if they will be allowed proceed into PhD precandidacy within 12 months of joining the department • The graduate mentoring seminar, which while serving the purpose of supporting the department core teaching efforts, also provides the students with meaningful opportunities to be exposed to the education aspects of teaching. • The department has implemented several policies to call explicit attention of the importance of scholarship. These include the Deisler fellowships and the two- publication rule.

5.10. Goals for the Graduate Program in the Coming Five Years ⎯ Top 20 ranking ⎯ Increase the visibility of the graduate program nationally (i.e. higher percentage of domestic students (> 40%))

101

⎯ Increase the number of PhD graduates taking postdoctoral positions in top 10 ChE programs and at flagship national laboratories in the US and abroad ⎯ Increase the number of PhD graduates entering academic positions in US universities ⎯ Increase the number of PhD students in the program to 140 (this would be a 20-25% increase) ⎯ Increase the number of graduate student training grants, i.e. NSF IGERTs and NIH training grants. ⎯ More clearly articulate / define the bounds the level of graduate support the undergraduate program needs via TAs/grading/recitation support

Short Terms Goals/Actions ⎯ Develop a long-term plan for increasing the percentage of high quality domestic students ⎯ Refine and improve the graduate mentoring seminar ⎯ Develop a teaching mentors program to give co-teaching (with faculty) opportunities to promising graduate students ⎯ Develop a plan to identify and generate additional financial resources that can be used to top off domestic student stipends (i.e. top offs for recruiting) ⎯ Develop a plan to procure the financial resources to increase departmental stipends ⎯ Identify groups of faculty that are capable of obtaining training grants

Strategic Research Areas The College of Engineering and the university completed a strategic planning process and as part of that process our department has identified three theme areas we believe align with these plans. These theme areas will provide direction for future hiring though other areas may be considered if outstanding candidates are found.

Systems Biology Systems biology is a relatively new research area that offers tremendous opportunities for Texas A&M as we are in a unique position to take advantage of already existing strengths on campus in various areas. Furthermore, several major collaborative initiatives exist in the area of systems biology (such as the Alliance for Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, and Systems

102

Biology (ABCS), the Integrated Undergraduate Research Experiences in Biological and Mathematical Sciences, and the Genomic Signal Processing Laboratory), which distinguishes Texas A&M from other schools where the focus in this field is either heavily tilted towards the computational or the experimental component but where less emphasis is placed on the synergies that can be created by a multidisciplinary research effort. By focusing our capabilities on systems biology and further leveraging the already existing strengths at Texas A&M, it is possible that the university emerges as one of the leading institutions in this new field. Ten faculty members (Profs. Zhilei Chen, Zhengdong Cheng, Juergen Hahn, Mariah Hahn, Arul Jayaraman, Katy Kao, Carl Laird, Michael Pishko, Jorge Seminario, Thomas Wood) of the Artie McFerrin Department of Chemical Engineering are involved in aspects of systems biology. This group includes seven faculty members whose focus is on experimental aspects and three research groups with an emphasis on computational work. Some members of this group are already involved in multidisciplinary research activities on systems biology at Texas A&M. The challenge for the department will be to coalesce this group and develop large federally funded center together with other investigators on campus.

Energy and Sustainability In support of the College’s strategic plan, the Energy Engineering Institute was recently created to focus on a variety of topics related to energy research, education and policy. Technological solutions to problems associated with the development of sustainable energy sources and advanced storage and distribution technologies will be sought and policy issues related to energy and sustainability will be studied. The department is well positioned to provide leadership within the Institute and develop multidisciplinary programs related to

⎯ Alternative Fuels: Coal to liquids/gases, GTL, biofuels, plant-based oils, conversion processes, fuel cells, solar. ⎯ Energy-related materials: Mesoporous materials, functional materials. ⎯ Catalysis and reaction engineering

⎯ Sustainability: Design for sustainability, benign processing, CO2 as a feedstock.

Therapeutics The National Center for Therapeutics Manufacturing and its focus were described earlier in Section 2.1. The department has a number of key faculty in the systems area (El-Halwagi, J.

103

Hahn, and Laird) and experimentally oriented faculty in biochemical/biomolecular area. We will be seeking addition hires in the bioprocess area to support the Center’s activities.

Students select advisors during their first semester at TAMU. The procedure for this is outlined in the timeline below for the case of students entering in the Fall academic semester.

235

! Graduate Student Orientation: Associate Head for the Graduate Program gives students a general overview of the advisor selection process. ! End of first week of class: students receive packet of abstracts outlining PhD and MS projects available. ! Second week of class: students begin attending research seminars. There are two one-hour slots each week for faculty to give 30 minute talks to the students. These generally take place for 4-6 weeks, depending on how many faculty need to present. ! Sixth to Eighth week of class: students will be required to submit their choices for advisor selection to the Graduate Advisor.

In the week after submission of the student lists, the Associate Head for the Graduate Program, in consultation with the Department Head and the faculty will assign students. In the event that not all students are successfully paired in the first round a second round will be performed with the remaining students wherein they will be asked to submit a second list ranking three projects from those remaining. The remaining students will then be assigned based on consultations between the Associate Head for the Graduate Program, Department Head, and relevant faculty (i.e. those with funded openings not filled in the first round). !

Course Times: MWF 12:40 PM to 1:30 PM Office Hours: M 4:00 PM to 5:00 PM and by appointement though email

Textbook: Tester, J. W., and M. Modell.; Thermodynamics and its Applications; Upper Saddle River, NJ; Prentice Hall, 1996; ISBN: 9780139153563.

Course Description: This course will focus on the theory and application of classical thermodynamics and give an introduction to statistical thermodynamics. Traditional topics covered in an undergraduate chemical engineering thermodynamics course will be reviewed, e.g., the first and second laws of thermodynamics, thermodynamic properties, phase equilibrium, and equations of state. Methods used to describe and predict phase equilibrium involving all three states of matter will be covered (liquid activity coefficient models, solid-liquid models, partition coefficients, etc.). Thermodynamic concepts will be applied to chemical reaction equilibria. Statistical thermodynamics will be introduced with a focus on the concepts of ensembles, applications to the ideal and imperfect gas phase, and relations to classical thermodynamics.

Course Objectives: The goals of this course are to connect the principles, concepts, and laws/postulates of classical and statistical thermodynamics to applications that require

248

quantitative knowledge of thermodynamic properties from a macroscopic to a molecular level.

Prerequisites: CHEN 354 or approval of instructor

Grading: The final grades will be determined on the basis of one mid-term examination, one final examination and the assigned homeworks. The following weights will be used:

Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Policy Statement

The following ADA Policy Statement (part of the Policy on Individual Disabling Conditions) was submitted to the University Curriculum Committee by the Department of Student Life. The policy statement was forwarded to the Faculty Senate for information. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a federal antidiscrimination statute that provides comprehensive civil rights protection for persons with disabilities. Among other things, this legislation requires that all students with disabilities be guaranteed a learning environment that provides for reasonable accommodation of their disabilities. If you believe you have a disability requiring an accommodation, please contact the Department of Student Life, Services for Students with Disabilities in Room B118 of Cain Hall or call 845-1637.

Academic Dishonesty

It is the responsibility of students and instructors to help maintain scholastic integrity at the university by refusing to participate in or tolerate scholastic dishonesty. Every act of academic dishonesty deflates the value of the TAMU degree you hope to receive. All cases of academic dishonesty will be reported to the Aggie Honor System Office, handled according to their guidelines. The report may result in disciplinary action. If you are reported twice, you will most likely be dismissed from the University.

250

Examples of scholastic dishonesty include: 1) acquiring answers for any assigned work or examination from any unauthorized source, 2) observing the work of other students during any examination, 3) providing answers for any assigned work or examination when not specifically authorized to do so, 4) failing to credit sources used in a work product in an attempt to pass off the work as ones's own, 5) attempting to receive credit for work performed by another, including papers obtained in whole or in part from individuals or other sources, and 6) fabrication of information. For more information, see TAMU Student Rules, Part 1 on Academic Dishonesty, and the library's web site on plagiarism complete with definitions and examples.

Know the Aggie Code of Honor.

Aggie Honor Code “An Aggie does not lie, cheat, or steal or tolerate those who do.”

Upon accepting admission to Texas A&M University, a student immediately assumes a commitment to uphold the Honor Code, to accept responsibility for learning and to follow the philosophy and rules of the Honor System. Students will be required to state their commitment on examinations, research papers, and other academic work. Ignorance of the rules does not exclude any member of the Texas A&M University community from the requirements or the processes of the Honor System. For additional information please visit: www.tamu.edu/aggiehonor/ On all course work, assignments, and examinations at Texas A&M University, the following Honor Pledge shall be preprinted and signed by the student: “On my honor, as an Aggie, I have neither given nor received unauthorized aid on this academic work.”

Scholastic Dishonesty As commonly defined, plagiarism consists of passing off oneʼs own the ideas, work, writings, etc., which belong to another. In accordance with this definition, you are committing plagiarism if you copy the work of another person and turn it in as your own, even if you should have the permission of that person. Plagiarism is one of the worst academic sins, for the plagiarist destroys the trust among colleagues without which research cannot be safely communicated. If you have questions regarding plagiarism, please consult the latest issue of the Texas A&M University Student Rules, under the section “Scholastic Dishonesty” at http://www.tamu.edu/aggiehonor. “An Aggie does not lie, cheat, or steal, or tolerate those who do”.

Policy Issues:

• Homework will be assigned but not collected and graded. One week after the homework is distributed I will post solutions outside my office. • Make-up exams will only be given in the case of a well-documented emergency. • Out of courtesy to your fellow students please come to class on time and turn off/mute cell phones. • I strongly encourage the use of email as a way to disseminate information. If you have questions on the homework please email me and I will try to respond promptly. I will also build a class email list for addressing general questions

about homework, etc. I will also develop a web page for the course, and this will contain homework assignments, project information and the like. I will not post lecture notes on the web page

Course Content

The major topics that will be covered in this class will include:

• Review of undergraduate kinetics/ideal reactor sizing • Fundamentals of chemical rate processes • Kinetic theory of gases/Maxwell-Boltzmann statistics • Transition-state theory • Thermochemical kinetics • Unimolecular reaction theory • Enzyme catalysis • Reaction and adsorption at solids surfaces

These topics will likely take on the order of 70-80% of the semester. The remainder of the course will be determined based on input from the students based on how this class potentially relates to their research field.
