(449b) Incorporation of Sustainability into Chemical Engineering Curricula

The role of engineers and designers at all scales, molecular, products, processes, and systems, is going to be central and essential in determining what tomorrow will look like. A chemical engineer, as the designer of products and processes also has a central role in designing chemical processes that have a central importance in the society. How can we incorporate sustainability principles into Chemical Engineering curriculum? There have been a lot of efforts from the Chemical Engineering (ChemEng) Academia. In this paper we our vision and ideas for the reinforcement of the Chemical Engineering degree analysing opportunities in the main subjects for incorporating sustainability principles, from freshman engineers to last year and master students.
