| Abstract |
|
Southeast Community College (SCC) hosted the
first DuPont Conference for Chemical Technology Education
at its Lincoln, Nebraska campus October 4-6, 1997. The
conference brought together fourteen practicing chemists
and chemistry technicians and five college and university
faculty members for the express purpose of suggesting new
laboratory activities that would help relate the real world of
work to the education of chemical laboratory technicians in
community colleges. Participants included seven men and
seven women from DuPont, Procter & Gamble, Eastman
Chemical, Eastman Kodak, Dow Chemical, Air Products
and Chemicals, Monsanto, Union Carbide, the Nebraska
Agriculture Laboratory, and the University of Nebraska
Biological Process Development Facility, Department of Food
Science. The conference, sponsored by the E. I.
DuPont DeNemours & Company through a grant awarded to
SCC in June 1997, was intended to help further the goals of
the two major projects underway at SCC, funded by the
National Science Foundation's Advanced Technological Education
Program. These projects, dubbed "Assignment: Chemical
Technology I and II", or ACT-I and ACT-II, are curriculum
and materials development projects. The invited scientists
had between 2 and 32 years of experience that ranged from
bench work to management levels. Many are or have been
active on the national scene as members and officers of the
American Chemical Society's Division of Chemical Technicians
and the ACS Committee on Technician Activities.
