WISE Application for Summer 2009
04 Dec 2008 Filed in: General
The Washington Internships
for Students of Engineering (WISE) is a
program run by a number of engineering
professional societies that brings
undergraduate engineering students to
Washington, D.C. to learn about the
relationship between government and the
technical community. The program has
been quite successful in the past and AIChE is
enthusiastic not only about the benefits to
the individual students, but also to the whole
chemical engineering community, as the project
reports by the students have been helpful in
formulating some of the policy perspectives of
the Institute. In 2008, AIChE sponsored
three students, two explored energy and
environmental issues and the third focused on
bioengineering policy implications.
We encourage you to tell junior and senior students in your department about the program. Applications can be found at http://www.aiche.org/uploadedFiles/Students/Awards/2009WISEAICHEApp.doc and are due to me by midnight on December 31, 2008. There is an error on the application form, my office is Room 565, not 525, so please make sure students send their applications to the correct place. To help students prepare their applications, some public policy example topics include but are not limited to:
The policy implications of developing energy metrics for:
- Clean Coal Technology
- Sustainability
- Industrial Process Innovation
- Alternative Energy Sources ( Solar, Wind, Nuclear, Biofuels).
Assessment of and projections for the Obama administration's new energy policy and its plans for greenhouse gas management.
The integration of H2 from electrolysis (using solar/nuclear/wind electrical energy) in the upgrading of fossil fuels by hydrogenation, methanation of CO and CO2, and in upgrading Fischer-Tropsh products. The CO and H2 feed to the Fischer-Tropsh process could come from gasifying bio materials or shale, coal, tar sands etc. This route to liquid fuels will minimize the production of CO2 from fossil fuels.
- Policy potential of recent advances in nuclear power, specifically
- How has chemical engineering made the process safer and more sustainable?
- How is nuclear power being looked at for integration into chemical processes and gas/oil/tar sands production?
- The affect of source selection for the production of biofuels and what policies have or can affect the selection.
- The affect of increasing taxes on the development or lack of development of alternative fuels.
- What are the impediments to "more drilling" and what are the limits to our fuel supply.
- A study of the one plant in Germany that puts CO2 in the ground as a liquid and the potential viability of using this technology in the US.

chemistry, materials science, polymer
sciences, and chemical engineering. The
Center of Membrane Sciences' REU program
offers:
- A competitive stipend of $ 4,500 ($450.00 per week).
- Campus housing provided during the program as well as reimbursement of reasonable relocation expenditures.
- The program pays for up to $500 for the participants to attend a Scientific Conference in their discipline (e.g., an ACS National Meeting).
If you need any additional information, please do not hesitate to call Professor Leonidas Bachas, Professor of Chemistry, Coordinator, REU Program at (859) 257-6350 or Professor D. Allan Butterfield, Director of the Center of Membrane Sciences at (859) 257-3184.
WISE Application for Summer 2009
04 Dec 2008 Filed in: General
The Washington Internships
for Students of Engineering (WISE) is a
program run by a number of engineering
professional societies that brings
undergraduate engineering students to
Washington, D.C. to learn about the
relationship between government and the
technical community. The program has
been quite successful in the past and AIChE is
enthusiastic not only about the benefits to
the individual students, but also to the whole
chemical engineering community, as the project
reports by the students have been helpful in
formulating some of the policy perspectives of
the Institute. In 2008, AIChE sponsored
three students, two explored energy and
environmental issues and the third focused on
bioengineering policy implications.
We encourage you to tell junior and senior students in your department about the program. Applications can be found at http://www.aiche.org/uploadedFiles/Students/Awards/2009WISEAICHEApp.doc and are due to me by midnight on December 31, 2008. There is an error on the application form, my office is Room 565, not 525, so please make sure students send their applications to the correct place. To help students prepare their applications, some public policy example topics include but are not limited to:
The policy implications of developing energy metrics for:
- Clean Coal Technology
- Sustainability
- Industrial Process Innovation
- Alternative Energy Sources ( Solar, Wind, Nuclear, Biofuels).
Assessment of and projections for the Obama administration's new energy policy and its plans for greenhouse gas management.
The integration of H2 from electrolysis (using solar/nuclear/wind electrical energy) in the upgrading of fossil fuels by hydrogenation, methanation of CO and CO2, and in upgrading Fischer-Tropsh products. The CO and H2 feed to the Fischer-Tropsh process could come from gasifying bio materials or shale, coal, tar sands etc. This route to liquid fuels will minimize the production of CO2 from fossil fuels.
- Policy potential of recent advances in nuclear power, specifically
- How has chemical engineering made the process safer and more sustainable?
- How is nuclear power being looked at for integration into chemical processes and gas/oil/tar sands production?
- The affect of source selection for the production of biofuels and what policies have or can affect the selection.
- The affect of increasing taxes on the development or lack of development of alternative fuels.
- What are the impediments to "more drilling" and what are the limits to our fuel supply.
- A study of the one plant in Germany that puts CO2 in the ground as a liquid and the potential viability of using this technology in the US.
