One hundred years ago, in September 1888, Professor Lewis Mills
Norton (1855-1893) of the Chemistry Department of the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology introduced to the curriculum a course on
industrial chemical practice. This was the first structured course
in chemical engineer ing taught in a University. Ten years later,
Norton's successor Frank H. Thorpe published the first textbook in
chemical engineering, entitled "Outlines of Industrial Chemistry."
Over the years, chemical engineering developed from a simple
industrial chemical analysis of processes into a mature field. The
volume presented here includes most of the commissioned and
contributed papers presented at the American Chemical Society
Symposium celebrating the centenary of chemical engineering. The
contributions are presented in a logical way, starting first with
the history of chemical engineering, followed by analyses of
various fields of chemical engineering and concluding with the
history of various U.S. and European Departments of Chemical
Engineering. I wish to thank the authors of the
contributions/chapters of this volume for their enthusiastic
response to my idea of publishing this volume and Dr. Gianni
Astarita of the University of Naples, Italy, for his encouragement
during the initial stages of this project."
