【简介】 Yale has a long tradition of innovation and excellence in chemical engineering.
Formal instruction in chemical engineering has been offered at Yale since 1922. The early days were highlighted by the remarkable thirty-year tenure of Barnett Dodge as chairman (1931-1961) and undergraduate teaching was the major focus of the department. This period was marked by outstanding contributions to the chemical engineering literature through a number of textbooks and treatises by Yale faculty and, later, Yale graduates. Department faculty were also distinguished by service to the chemical engineering profession. Professor Harding Bliss served as the first Editor of the AIChE Journal in 1955, the same year Professor Dodge served as AIChE President.
The department continues to be distinguished by its many pioneering contributions to the literature and to the changing curriculum of the field. For the work he did while at Yale, Professor Emeritus of Chemical Engineering John Fenn received the NOBEL PRIZE in 2002.
The department has eleven faculty (one emeritus) members, nine adjunct faculty, thirteen research fellows, and approximately thirty graduate students.
