内容简介：
【简介】 The mission of the School of Chemical Engineering at Oklahoma State University is to develop human resources, professional knowledge, and the infrastructure through which chemical engineering can contribute to human welfare. They expect to maintain national recognition for their contributions.
School of Chemical Engineering has eleven faculty members pursuing a spectrum of research activities. Their annual research expenditures of approximately $1,000,000 are supported by a variety of governmental agencies and industries, and reflect about a 50/50 split of fundamental research and applications studies. They maintain particularly close relations with industry, including joint university-industry collaborations in which some graduate students perform their thesis research at an industrial research laboratory.
Chemical Engineering is housed in the five-story Engineering North building, near to the library, and to the physics, chemistry, biochemistry departments. They also have laboratory space in the new ATRC (Advanced Technology Research Center) and the Hazard Reaction Lab.
The Chemical Engineering faculty has created several national-level centers for coordinating research and development. The Measurement and Control Engineering Center is a consortium of about 15 companies sponsoring research and development at the University of Tennessee and Oklahoma State University. The National Science Foundation and Oak Ridge National Lab jointly sponsor it. The Ultrapure Water Group is sponsored by microelectronics, domestic water, conventional power, and nuclear power organizations – including US Navy. The Integrated Petroleum Environmental Consortium manages about $1M per year to sponsor projects aimed at minimizing the environmental of energy production. Its sponsorship is through the US Environmental Protection Agency. Finally, the Center for Conversion of Biomass to Fuel-Grade Ethanol, affectionately known as the "grassahol" project, is a joint effort between OSU and the University of Mississippi, which is coordinating research between six department s at three universities toward the production of alternate fuels.
