2009 Annual Report

Dear Alumni and Friends of the Department:

Th e past year was one of progress and growth for our

department. We have become more accustomed to

our new name, the William G. Lowrie Department of

Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, but for our

160 sophomores, it is all they have ever known. Th ose

students completing our fi rst courses in Material and

Energy Balances comprise the largest class we have ever

seen. Our faculty and graduate students who serve as

teaching assistants are doing their very best to provide

a quality education even though they are coping with

fairly large section sizes. Last year we went to three

sections with enrollments of 54, 57 and 67 students

in our fi rst course, ChBE 200, Chemical Process

Calculations. Our graduating class was also large with

72 students earning their degrees last year and for the

next several years we expect graduating classes of over

100.

To help with the increased enrollment and to add a new

dimension to our research capabilities, we have added

one new faculty member, David Wood, who comes

to us from Princeton University. David is a chemical

engineer with research interests in applied molecular

biology, and we are most pleased to welcome him as

our 18th faculty member. Additionally, John Corn,

who was helping us as an instructor in our summer lab

and design courses, retired. We were able to replace

him with Carlo Scaccia. Both Carlo and John had

distinguished careers at Ashland Chemicals and both

were on hand last summer to lead our unit operations

course taken by 118 of our juniors and seniors. Profi les

of David Wood and Carlo Scaccia can be found in this

Annual Report.

Th e Department continues to be very research

intensive. Research expenditures last year were at an

all time high of more than $13.3M or $780K/ faculty

member on average. Large grants were won by Jim

Lee in the area of nanotechnology, and several grants

related to energy research were won by L.S.

Fan, Winston Ho and Umit Ozkan. Th is was the

third consecutive year that research expenditures

exceeded $12M and was only made possible by having

our entire faculty very active in research along with

their postdocs, graduate students and undergraduate

researchers.

Finally, plans for our new building are proceeding along

the promised timetable of having us occupy a new

Koff olt Laboratories by the end of 2014. Th e site will

be just West of our current location with the buildings

Boyd, Johnston, Aviation and Haskett, (which are not

in good condition) being torn down and replaced by

a large Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering and

Chemistry (CBEC) complex devoted to a collaborative

chemical sciences research and education environment.

Th e building will be more than 210,000 gross square

feet with 109,000 assignable square feet for our two

departments. Th e Koff olt Laboratories portion of

the complex will occupy 60% of the space. Most of

the research in Chemistry’s Evans Laboratory will be

relocated to the new building. We are excited about the

possibilities of increased research cooperation with our

colleagues in Chemistry. Meanwhile the total building

cost is $126M, including our fund raising obligation of

$17.5M. We are making good progress in this capital

campaign and thank all those alumni and friends who

have given or pledged gift s for the building. Progress to

date takes us to about 75% of our goal, though a good

number of space naming opportunities remain.

Best wishes on behalf of our faculty, staff and students.

University recognizes generosity with fi rst-ever named department.

Th e U.S. Department of Energy has awarded a $5 million grant to professor L.S. Fan for

research related to clean coal technology. Fan’s grant is part of $151 million awarded through

the Department of Energy’s recently-formed Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy

(”ARPA-E”).

L.S. Fan, internationally recognized for his expertise in energy and environmental reaction

engineering, will use the grant to further develop a process he invented to convert coal and

biomass to electricity while capturing carbon dioxide emissions.

Dr. Fan has successfully demonstrated the process, called syngas chemical

looping, on a small pilot scale. With the new grant, he will scale up the

process to a 250 kW pilot plant to obtain performance data to prove the

process eventually can be commercialized for coal-based power plants,

contributing to the United States’ eff orts toward energy independence

and greenhouse gas emission reductions.

Th e syngas chemical looping process Fan and his research group

developed uses an iron oxide-based chemical looping medium to

indirectly and fl exibly convert carbonaceous fuels such as coal and

biomass into hydrogen and/or electricity while at the same time capturing

and separating the carbon dioxide. Th e process is simpler and more

effi cient compared to conventional gasifi cation processes. Moreover, the

pollutant and greenhouse gas management cost for the syngas chemical

looping process is minimal compared to conventional process schemes.

Fan’s 250 kW pilot plant demonstration will be at the National Carbon

Capture Center, which the U.S. Department of Energy formed this spring

in Wilsonville, Ala., for a combined operating time of more than 3,000

hours. Fan expects the testing of the new pilot plant to fi nish by early

2013, with the next scale up to follow immediately.

Fan’s team will work with the Particulate Solids Research Institute to design and operate a cold

fl ow model for the plant; Shell/CRI in preparing the iron oxide-based chemical looping medium;

Babcock and Wilcox Co., Air Products and Chemicals Inc., and IWI Inc. for the design and

construction of the plant; and CONSOL Energy, which will independently perform techno-

economic analysis and collaborate with Ohio State and other partners on the commercialization

plan.

Professor L.S. Fan’s Clean Coal Research is

Congratulations to the following Chemical Engineering Alumni

Recipients of the 2009 Distinguished Alumnus Award!

James F. Dietz

Jim Dietz, a native of Botkins, Ohio, received both a Bachelor of Chemical Engineering degree in 1969 and a Master of Science in

Chemical Engineering in 1970 from Th e Ohio State University.

In 1969, Dietz began his career with Standard Oil of Ohio (Sohio) at the Vistron Chemical Plant in Lima, Ohio. He worked in various

engineering and production supervisor positions in the nitrogen fertilizer facilities until 1980, when he transferred to Vistrons new

grassroots chemical plant near Victoria, Texas. Aft er construction and startup of this new complex, Dietz continued to work there as

operations manager until 1989. In 1986 British Petroleum (BP) acquired Standard Oil of Ohio, and in 1989, Dietz accepted a position

in London as project director of a new European chemical plant. Aft er one year, the project was shelved and he became production

manager at BP Chemicals chemical complex in Grangemouth, Scotland. In 1993, Dietz resigned from BP aft er 24 years of service to take

the position of vice-president of manufacturing with Arcadian Corporation in Memphis, Tenn. When Arcadian was purchased in 1997

by Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan (PCS), he was named executive vice president, PCS Nitrogen. In November 2000, Dietz was

named executive vice president and chief operating offi cer for Potash Corporation. In addition to responsibility for Potash Corporation’s

worldwide operations, he has responsibility for the company’s safety, health and environment performance and procurement functions.

Dietz and his wife, Patricia (Pat), reside in Northfi eld, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago. Th ey have four children, Anita, Bradley, Douglas,

and Marcia, and fi ve grandchildren.

F. William Hauschildt

Aft er receiving his bachelor’s degree in chemical engineering from Ohio State in 1967, Bill Hauschildt began his career at Amoco R&D.

Over the years, Hauschildt developed an extensive technical, operational and commercial background. Among his posts with Amoco,

he has been a refi ning process and catalysis researcher; technology manager at R&D (Process, Catalysis & Environmental Research),

Operations; operations manager at the Whiting Indiana Refi nery; health safety and environment regional manager (supporting Refi neries,

Pipeline, Marketing and Chemical plant operations); and refi ning planning manager (Capital Spending and Business Planning), all in

the Chicago area. From 1996 to 1998, he was based in London, and was responsible for an Off -Shore North Sea Oil Brent system joint

venture focused on late life reservoir and platform operations management. He was also responsible for technical and environmental

preparations and acted as liaison with the UK government in planning for decommissioning of the fi eld. Aft er the BP-Amoco merger,

Hauschildt’s last BP assignment was on the ARCO Merger Integration Team, where he was responsible for the integration of the ARCO

Refi ning operations and related technology development and support into the BP Amoco refi ning system.

Hauschildt also holds a master’s degree in chemical engineering from the Illinois Institute of Technology and participated in Harvard’s

Program for Management Development. He holds fi ve U.S. patents in refi ning process and catalysis and was responsible for implementing

technical developments and later in his career, operations management at Amoco. He was active in the advisory group for Ohio

State’s departments of chemistry and chemical engineering, in the area of catalysis. He was also involved with the advisory group to

Northwestern University’s Catalysis Center.

Professor Jeff rey Chalmers and colleagues have developed

devices to detect circulating tumor cells from patients with

head, neck, breast, and other cancers. Jeff ’s team has earned

eight patents based on this technology, as well as created jobs

and attracted multimillion dollar funding. Ultimately this

capability has the potential for saving lives. Th eir medical

invention is just one example of how Ohio State innovation

bolsters the state’s economy.

For example, in collaboration with Professor Ratnasingham

Sooryakumar, of OSU’s Department of Physics, the device was

developed from a tiny piece of square-centimeter silicon inlaid

with rows of zigzagging magnetic wires. At each corner, the

wire behaves like two magnets pointed north to north or south

to south. Th e fi elds of the two magnets create a point of strong

attraction just above them. A nearby magnetic object, such as

a magnetically-tagged cell is attracted to the corner and gets

stuck there.

To get the particles moving, the researchers then place two

magnetic fi elds around the chip one in the plane of the chip

and the other perpendicular to it. By fl ipping the direction of

these fi elds, the researchers can guide tagged cells along the

zigzagging wire and even make them jump from one wire to

the next. Th e researchers computerized the magnetic fi eld

switching so that a user can steer the cells by simply handling a

joystick. Chalmers and colleagues put the device through its paces with magnetically-tagged T-cells, the body’s guardians against infection. Th ey snapped the cells to attention

at one end of the chip, marched them down to the other end, and made them hop from one wire to another, reaching speeds of about 20 micron, or about a one-fi ft h the width

of a human hair, per second.

Chalmers said that the device would be ideal for examining tumor cells.“Part of the problem with cancer is that it’s our own cells going haywire, so it’s a heck of a lot harder to

fi gure out what’s diff erent,” Chalmers said. With this method, he said, researchers could magnetically tag the well-understood healthy cells and then remove them from a sample,

leaving only the cancerous cells. Chalmers said this would be a boon to both a researcher studying a specifi c type of cancer or a clinician diagnosing a patient.

Th e small magnetic fi elds are gentle on specimens; the device works on a fl at surface, an improvement over other methods; and it’s also cost-eff ective with the whole set-up

costing only about $200.

Th e Nanoscale Science and Engineering Center (NSEC)

for Aff ordable Nanoengineering of Polymeric Biomedical

Devices (CANPBD) was recently awarded a $12.5M

grant by the National Science Foundation in support

of the Center's renewal through Phase II (10/01/2009-

09/30/2014). Professor James Lee continues as the

Principal Investigator.

Th e research vision of CANPBD is to revolutionize

medical diagnosis and medicine by establishing an

aff ordable multiscale synthesis and fabrication protocol

leading to nanofl uidic and polymer therapeutic devices

for personalized nanomedicine. An important emphasis

of Phase II is to commercialize the developed technologies in close collaboration with end users.

Th e broader impacts of the activities planned for Phase II are to (1) commercialize nanoengineered

biomedical devices through aff ordable manufacturing methods and novel design, (2) extend

research results from medical/biology applications to functional nanocomposites, water

treatment, homeland security, environmental protection, and food industry toxicology, (3)

establish new products and new industries to create high-paying jobs in the US, and (4) train the

21st century workforce in economically important and critical high-tech fi elds.

A team of Ohio State researchers has received federal stimulus

money to develop a test for detecting rare cells that are among

the most promising potential biomarkers of vascular health and

aging.

Stuart Cooper, Professor and

Department Chair, and Nicanor

Moldovan, an investigator

with the Davis Heart and Lung

Research Institute, received a

$1.2 million, two-year Grand

Opportunities award from

the American Recovery and

Reinvestment Act “stimulus

package” of the National Institute

of Aging at the National Institutes

of Health.

Current testing for the

concentration of these cells,

called endothelial progenitor cells, takes about a month. Cooper,

Moldovan and colleagues are working to develop a much faster

process — requiring just one to two days — that would use

specially designed peptides from proteins that would adhere

to the progenitor cells.Th e peptides would be connected to

magnetic nanobeads so that once they adhere to the progenitor

cells, they could be separated from the rest of the blood cells

magnetically. Th e progenitor cells would then be grown into cell

colonies for further analysis.

Th e researchers plan to use the method to test blood of

populations of children, adults and seniors to determine whether

various disease states could be detected via the concentrations of

the cells. Th e research is estimated to have a combined direct and

indirect economic impact of $3.3 million and 10 full-time jobs

over its two-year period.

Bhavik Bakshi, professor of chemical and biomolecular engineering, aims to change the practice of implementing breakthrough

technologies without fi rst examining the entire energy life cycle — from obtaining the raw material through disposing of the

product.

“We need to think about the scale of use and broader applications,” says Bakshi, who is research director of the university’s Center

for Resilience. “Omitting this step is one of the root causes of the unexpected surprises that oft en come with new technologies.”

With funding from the National Science Foundation and Environmental Protection Agency, Bakshi is examining the environmental

burden of carbon nanofi bers, desired in various manufacturing applications for their mechanical strength, thermal and fl ame

resistance, barrier properties, electrical conductivity and resistance to chemical attack.

To determine the life cycle energy use of those carbon nanofi bers, he examined each stage of their cycle. First, he and L. James Lee,

along with doctoral student Vikas Khanna, compared the manufacture of nanofi bers with that of traditional materials on an equal

mass basis. “Th e best carbon nanofi ber currently requires 300 times more energy than steel for production on a per-kilogram basis.

Th at’s the killer,” Bakshi says. Since processes using nanomaterials are in nascent stages, he expects the ratio to improve as new

technologies are developed.

In addition, energy savings resulting from the use of carbon nanofi bers in products as well as the increase or decrease in demand

for those products will be deciding factors when comparing the materials. Bakshi and Khanna continued the research by evaluating the carbon nanofi bers when they are used

in polymer nanocomposites for automotive body parts. In an analysis of the materials from the natural resources to the factory gate, they found that vehicles with polymer

nanocomposite parts, depending on the quantities of carbon nanofi bers and the other materials in the resulting composites, use 1.4 to 10 percent less energy than a conventional

car, mainly because the lighter nanocomposites result in less fuel consumption as the lighter car is driven. Th is corresponds to driving 9,000 to 13,000 miles less during the life

of an average car.

Bhavik Bakshi’s Energy Life Cycle Research

David Wood joined the faculty this past fall as an associate professor. His work focuses on protein engineering, bioseparations

and biosensing. Originally from El Paso, Texas, he completed a double major in Chemical Engineering and Molecular Biology as

an undergraduate at Caltech in 1990. He then spent some time in industry before going on to graduate school. His Ph.D. work at

Rensselaer Polytechnic led to the generation of an engineered, evolved self-cleaving protein subunit for applications in recombinant

protein purifi cation. He then joined the Chemical Engineering faculty at Princeton University as an assistant professor in 2001. At

Princeton, he combined this self-cleaving element with two novel self-cleaving purifi cation tags to create powerful and convenient

non-chromatographic bioseparation technologies. In addition, he has created new hybrid proteins that allow simple bacterial

cells to react to human hormones and hormone-like chemicals. Th ese cells are now being used to discover new drugs for various

disorders, as well as detect hormone-like pollutants in the environment. Th ese technologies have now been requested by over 100

laboratories worldwide, and have the potential to signifi cantly impact the way protein-based pharmaceuticals are manufactured

worldwide.

Engineers at Ohio State are testing a new biobutanol fermentation technology at a recently constructed pilot plant in

Gahanna, Ohio.

Shang-Tian Yang, professor of chemical and biomolecular engineering, and his colleagues developed a way to double

the production of the biofuel butanol, which might someday replace gasoline in automobiles. With support from a

$1 million grant from Ohio Department of Development Th ird Frontier Advanced Energy Program, Yang partnered

with ButylFuel, a start-up company, to build the pilot plant.

Yang’s process improves on the conventional method for producing butanol in a bacterial fermentation tank. Normally,

he explains, bacteria could only produce a certain amount of butanol — perhaps 15 grams of the chemical for every

liter of water in the tank — before the tank would become too toxic for the bacteria to survive. Yang and his colleagues

developed a mutant strain of the bacterium clostridium beijerinckii in a bioreactor containing bundles of polyester

fi bers. In that environment, the mutant bacteria produced up to 30 grams of butanol per liter.

Once developed as a fuel, butanol could potentially be used in conventional automobiles in place of gasoline while

producing more energy than another alternative fuel, ethanol.“Today, the recovery and purifi cation of butanol account

for about 40 percent of the total production cost,” explains Yang. “Because we are able to create butanol at higher

concentrations, we believe we can lower those costs and make biofuel production more economical.”

Advancing Production of Biofuel

Carlo Scaccia joined the Department last summer, bringing with him thirty years of experience in the Chemical Industry as

researcher and executive offi cer. His research interests encompass polymers, composites, adhesives/sealants/coatings, three-

phase reactor dynamics, electronic chemicals, fermentation/biochemistry, rheology, thermal oxidation, water treatment,

instrumentation and bench scale-pilot plant-commercial operations. Aft er receiving his Ph.D. from SUNY, he joined Dow/

Union Carbide where he conducted and directed research on new process/product development. He subsequently joined

Ashland Inc. as VP of Research and later as Offi cer-VP and General Manager of the Specialty Polymers & Adhesives Division.

Most recently, he held the concurrent positions of General Manager US Operations and VP of Global Technology at Sensient

Technologies in the food and beverage fl avors industry. Th e eleven patents he was granted have been commercialized. He has

published several articles and previously taught undergraduate courses at SUNY and OSU. He holds a registered professional

engineer license and is a graduate of the Harvard Business School- Advanced Management Program.

Associate professor, Andre Palmer, and his research team are developing oxygen-

carrying solutions for transfusion medicine. One area of focus is on synthetic red

blood substitutes, which may one day lead to a universal blood supply.

In the United States, allogeneic red blood cell (RBC) transfusion has long been

considered an important treatment option for patients suff ering from blood loss.

However, the recent emergence of infectious agents such as the H1N1 infl uenza

virus and others has put the blood supply at risk.

Currently, the American Red Cross tests donated blood for hepatitis B and C

viruses, human immunodefi ciency virus (HIV), human T-cell lymphotropic virus,

syphilis, West Nile virus and the agent of Chagas disease. As a result the safety of

the U.S. blood supply, in terms of transfusion, transmitted diseases is quite good.

However as new infectious agents emerge the costs of a unit of blood increases;

since additional screening tests may have to be conducted before blood can be

distributed to health care providers. Of more concern is the fact that donated

blood may contain yet to be identifi ed infectious agents. In addition there are new

concerns regarding the safety of blood transfusions following extended durations

of storage.

Th e safety of the blood supply in developing countries is even more problematic,

since serious concerns still exist about the risks associated with blood transfusion

including: potential contamination by blood-bourn pathogens; fatal immunological

reactions; acute lung injury and even mistransfusion. To further compound the

problem, the availability of human blood is even more limited in emergency

situations such as wars or natural disasters. Th erefore, it has been a long-term

goal of scientists and engineers to develop an effi cacious and safe universal RBC

substitute for use in transfusion medicine.

Toward this goal, Palmer is developing a wide range of hemoglobin-based oxygen

carriers (HBOCs) including: polymerized hemoglobins, vesicle encapsulated

hemoglobins and recombinant hemoglobins. Th ese HBOCs can be used as

RBC substitutes in transfusion medicine and oxygen delivery vehicles in tissue

engineering.

Oxygen-Carrying Solutions for Transfusion

Medicine

Professor Andre Palmer and undergraduate researcher Mark Politz are

investigating novel strategies for purifying recombinant hemoglobins to meet

the increasing global demand for an artifi cial blood substitute.

Professor Winston Ho and his group members have developed an advanced membrane fabrication

technique, shown schematically in Figure 1, for the synthesis of high-fl ux water desalination membranes. In

this approach, a selected hydrophilic additive is incorporated into the interfacially polymerized thin fi lm to

increase the hydrophilicity of the membrane. As shown in this fi gure, the aqueous solution containing the

selected hydrophilic additive and a diamine (m-phenylenediamine) is coated on the surface of microporous

polysulfone support with a typical pore size of 50 nm. An interfacial polymerization is then carried out

between the aqueous amine solution and a hydrocarbon solution containing trimesoyl chloride to synthesize

the high-fl ux reverse osmosis (RO) membrane. Th e hydrophilic additive incorporated in the membrane

has provided an additional pathway for water transport across the membrane, resulting in a very high fl ux

of water along with a high salt rejection both for brackish water (with 0.2% sodium chloride solution at 225

psi (1.55 MPa) pressure) and seawater (with 3.28% sodium chloride solution at 800 psi (5.51 MPa) pressure)

desalination applications. Th e fl uxes have been signifi cantly higher (about 100%) than those for the state-of-

the-art membranes in brackish water and seawater desalination.

Th e membrane has exhibited good stability. Figure 2 shows the constant fl ux and salt rejection for a run

of 30 days. Th ere were no signifi cant changes of the membrane from the stability test detected by Fourier

transform infrared spectrometry (FTIR) as shown in Figure 3.

Th is group has also developed a fouling resistant

coating based on crosslinked poly(ethylene

glycol) for the high fl ux membranes. Th e coating

on the top of the high fl ux membrane not only

provides strong fouling resistances to tannic acid,

a common foulant encountered in brackish water

desalination and to the sodium salt of alginic acid

derived from seaweed in seawater desalination,

but also can protect the membrane during the

rolling operation in the fabrication of a membrane

element. Th e membrane will be evaluated by the

US Navy for the future shipboard desalination.

Th e 2009 Lowrie Lectures were held on May 7-8, with this year’s lecturer being Dr. Gabor A. Somorjai, a University

Professor in the Department of Chemistry at the University of California, Berkeley. Dr. Somorjai received his Ph.D.

degree in Chemistry from the University of California, Berkeley in 1960 and aft er 4 years at IBM, he returned to

Berkeley as an Assistant Professor where he has been Professor of Chemistry since 1972. He was designated Uni-

versity Professor in 2002 and also serves as Director of the Surface Science and Catalysis Program at the Center of

Advanced Materials at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.

Professor Somorjai has educated 125 Ph.D. students and more than 250 postdoctoral fellows, about 100 of them

hold faculty positions and many more are leaders in industry. He is the author of more than 1,000 scientifi c papers

in the fi elds of surface chemistry, heterogeneous catalysis, and solid state chemistry. He has written three textbooks,

Principles of Surface Chemistry, Prentice Hall, 1972; Chemistry in Two Dimensions: Surfaces, Cornell University Press,

1981; and Introduction to Surface Chemistry and Catalysis, Wiley-Interscience, 1994; and a monograph, Adsorbed

Monolayers on Solid Surfaces, Springer-Verlag, 1979.

Among his many honors are the National Medal of Science, membership in the National Academy of

Sciences and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the Langmuir Prize, the Wolf Prize, the

Henry Albert Palladium Medal, and a number of research awards from the American Chemical Society

including the Priestley Medal and 8 Honorary Doctorates.

Heterogeneous metal catalysts are nanoparticles that carry out reactions at high reactant gas pressures or in the liquid phase. Model surfaces were used to study heterogeneous

catalytic reactions in order to control and monitor the atomic surface structure, composition and reaction intermediates while simultaneously measuring reaction rates and

selectivities. To obtain quantitative correlations between catalytic reaction kinetics and the molecular factors that control reaction dynamics. Reactions were found to induce

restructuring of the metal surfaces and mobility of adsorbed molecules. Nanosize transition metal catalysts achieve facile restructuring and rapid change in surface composition

under reaction conditions as their low atom coordination permits rapid bond rearrangements. Improved techniques for molecular studies of surfaces that provide better time

resolution and spatial resolution will enhance our ability to study the dynamics of surfaces, which are key to both activity and selectivity during catalysis. Th e control of metal

nanoparticle size and shape provides opportunities to achieve superior reaction selectivity.

Th e catalytic converter on automobiles greatly improved the air quality of Los Angeles. Air separation to oxygen and nitrogen is at the heart of water purifi cation technologies.

Chemical manufacturing to produce the desired product selectively without waste byproducts is the challenge of chemical process technologies and biotechnologies which are

commonly called “green chemistry”. Th e chemical, mechanical, optical, electrical and magnetic properties of surfaces studied on the molecular scale led to developments of

new high technology industries that have enriched the United States.

2009 Advisory Board Meeting

Th e Advisory Board Meeting was held March 19, 2009, with attending board

members Linda Broadbelt, Terry Chern, Nancy Dawes, Karen Murphy, John

Salladay, Sunil Satija, Bob Tatterson, Drew Weber, and Mike Winfi eld.

Department Chair Stuart Cooper discussed department highlights, new faculty

hire David Wood, the increasing enrollment numbers of the undergraduate

program, and the University’s plan to switch from quarters to semesters.

Rosemary Hill, Director of Engineering Career Services, informed the group

that the Department’s career services program is one of the best in the nation

and CBE students are very pleased with the services they receive.

Brian Endres, Coordinator of Academic Advising, talked about recruitment

and outreach and how the Department is doing a better job engaging female

and minority students.

Dean Greg Washington discussed changes being made by the College of

Engineering and plans for the Koff olt Building Campaign.

Faculty member Jim Rathman discussed possible revisions to the B.S. program’s

educational objectives. Board members liked the focus of the new objectives on

expected accomplishments of alumni and suggested adding volunteerism (non-

professional service) to the list. Board members also suggested putting more

emphasis on the ability of graduates to integrate knowledge from diff erent fi elds

and the expectation that alumni will be successful in a wide range of diverse

careers.

Faculty Member Dave Tomasko and Brian Endres addressed the group

regarding undergraduate research noting that there has been an increase in

undergraduate research opportunities and an eff ort to increase the number

of CBE students who graduate with honors distinction. Th e next speaker was

faculty member Barbara Wyslouzil who presented her research on how aerosols

aff ect the environment, health and various technologies.

Th e meeting concluded with a discussion among board members and Stuart

Cooperative Learning Experiences:

Autumn 2008 through Autumn 2009

Th e Engineering Cooperative Education & Internship Program (ECIP) helps undergraduate students to obtain career-related employment of two types: cooperative

education (co-op) positions and internships. A co-op experience provides an opportunity to apply what is learned in the classroom in career-related positions by alternating

quarters of full-time coursework with periods of paid, full-time employment. Internship involves one work period with an employer. A work period may last for one

quarter or for two consecutive quarters. Summer internships are the most popular among students and employers.

Students meet with Brian Endres and Holly Prouty to evaluate diff erent schedule arrangements before interviewing because many employers hire for specifi c “rotations”.

For instance, students may work full-time during the summer quarter, attend full-time classes in autumn, and return to their employer for full-time work in the winter.

Th e most popular term to work is the summer. Last summer we had 28 students at internships and 31 at co-ops (as reported to ECS).

2009 Placement Record for Undergraduates

Graduates of our program continue to have a strong placement record both within industry and within graduate and professional programs. Th e percentages provided here

are based on senior exit surveys at the time of graduation.

Th irty-seven percent of our graduates will be going directly to industry with their B.S. degrees. About 20% of our students will be going on to graduate or professional

school. Close to 17% of our students have accepted positions in Ohio and will stay in the state to pursue their post graduation plans. Students will be working at various

corporations such as Exxon Mobil, the Dow Chemical Company, Procter and Gamble, and DuPont.

A number of our graduates received Latin Honors, With Distinction Honors or With Honors in Engineering. Latin honors are defi ned as follows: a cumulative grade point

average (GPA) of 3.5-3.69 is Cum Laude; 3.70-3.89 is Magna Cum Laude; and 3.90-4.00 is Summa Cum Laude. Th irty-seven percent of our students graduated with some

level of Latin Honors. A student who graduates “With Distinction” is an honors student (greater than a 3.4 GPA) who has completed a senior honors research thesis. A

student who graduates “With Honors in Engineering” has completed a three-prong program consisting of completing a required number of honors courses, participation in

community service, leadership and outreach as well participation in “investigational studies” which typically includes completing a research paper or thesis or completing

a minor. Th irteen students graduated with Honors in Engineering and nine students graduated With Distinction in various disciplines.

A total of 153 students were awarded undergraduate

scholarships in the Chemical & Biomolecular program.

Th e vast majority of those students were current majors,

although a small amount went to recruit high ability fi rst

year students as well. A total of $109,600 was awarded

to students heading into the 2009-2010 school year. Th is

year the department awarded more scholarships but gave

out less money than the previous year. Th is has resulted in

a lower average award per student than in previous years.

Huge increases in enrollment and variability in many

endowments have caused these trends.

Trends in data from fi nancial aid show that the number

and amount of both student and parent loans have been

increasing. Both Ohio State tuition and University fi nancial

support have increased yearly. However, since the increase

in scholarship support hasn’t been able to keep up with

tuition increases, engineering students and their families

have had to increase their debt levels to cover the additional

costs. In the Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering

Department, department scholarships from alumni and

corporate donors help defray a small part of the loan burden

for many of our students.

Department scholarships are determined mainly by merit,

however, when a scholarship specifi es that a student’s need

be considered, both merit and need are taken into account.

We thank those of our alumni who have established

scholarship endowments for this purpose as well as our

corporate donors who provide scholarships on an annual

basis.

Graduate Program

Th e 2010 U.S. News and World Report rankings of engineering

graduate programs placed the Lowrie Department of Chemical and

Biomolecular Engineering at #27. Th e College of Engineering was also

ranked #27 in the nation. While the college rankings are based in good

part on objective measures such as research funding, number of Ph.D.

graduates, number of publications, etc., the departmental rankings

are based on subjective surveys of deans of engineering and industrial

executives. In 2010, we expect the National Research Council to publish

a listing of departmental rankings that will be more quantitatively based.

We have submitted our data for the NRC exercise and are guardedly

optimistic that our department will receive a higher ranking from that

analysis compared to the U.S. News survey. In any case, these fi ndings

in the table are good news for the Department.

Ranking

Th e following table, relating to faculty research and our PhD program,

reinforces that our faculty are highly productive. Since 2005, we have

averaged a graduation rate of 15.4 PhD students per year and a ratio

of 0.94 Ph.D. degrees per faculty member. It is signifi cant that in 2005

and 2006, we were fi ft h in the nation in the graduation of chemical

engineering doctoral students. Th is is noteworthy as the leading

departments in this category typically have many more faculty members

than Ohio State.
