The skin is the largest organ of the human body, covering roughly 20 ft2 for the average adult. It is a sophisticated sensory network, capable of delivering our sense of pressure, temperature, and texture to our brains. As the body’s primary interface with the physical world, it serves as a blueprint for the next evolution of electronics in healthcare.

Webinar Description The mining, minerals, and metals sector presents unique process safety challenges that are not always fully addressed by traditional process safety guidance developed for the chemical industry.

Chemical engineers, student leaders, and professionals at all career stages are at the heart of AIChE's mission to advance the profession and make a lasting impact on society. In this series, we spotlight members whose passion and leadership help shape the future of chemical engineering. This month, we're excited to introduce Jane Aghjayan, former Chair of the AIChE Executive Student Committee (ESC).

The “Meet the Faculty and Post-Doc Candidates” Poster Sessions will be held on Monday, Nov. 9 at the 2026 AIChE Annual Meeting in Minneapolis, MN. The AIChE Programming Committee was among the first to recognize the need for a dedicated forum to foster interaction between early-career researchers seeking academic positions and departments searching for new faculty members. With this goal, AIChE introduced a Faculty Candidate Poster Session at its Annual Meeting in 2001.

On June 23, International Women in Engineering Day celebrates the contributions of women engineers worldwide and the countless ways they advance research, innovation, education, and industry. Organized by AIChE's Women in Chemical Engineering (WIC) community, the WIC Is You campaign was created to highlight members across career stages, disciplines, and backgrounds as they share their research interests, career paths, and personal passions.

You did everything right: updated your résumé, aligned your experience with the job posting, wrote a thoughtful cover letter, triple-checked everything, and hit submit. Then, you wait. Days pass, then weeks. Maybe you get a rejection, but more often, silence. Many job seekers fall into the “apply and wait” trap. Applying online alone rarely gets you noticed. The best roles often go to referrals, internal hires, or people who had networking conversations before the job was even posted.

Pride Month offers an opportunity to celebrate the people, experiences, and perspectives that strengthen the chemical engineering community. As part of AIChE's Pride Month series, we're highlighting LGBTQ+ chemical engineers and allies whose stories reflect the importance of community and belonging.

Parts 1 and 2 of this series were published in CEP in May 2025 and December 2025, respectively, and shared on ChEnected. Part 3 of this series focuses on how recent agency actions regarding the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Endangerment Finding may impact chemical engineers. The Endangerment Finding In 2009, the U.S. EPA determined that greenhouse gases (GHGs) threaten public health and welfare, thereby establishing the basis for regulating emissions under the U.S. Clean Air Act.

Innovation, creativity, and chemical engineering expertise will take center stage at the 6th Annual ChemE Cube™ Competition, powered by the RAPID Manufacturing Institute® and ExxonMobil. This year’s finalists will showcase their designs at the 2026 AIChE Annual Student Conference, November 6–9 in Minneapolis, MN. The two-day event kicks off Sunday, November 8, with team presentations and pitches, followed by final demonstrations and awards on Monday, November 9.

What happens when two flame arresters are installed in close proximity? The answer has important implications for process safety, and it wasn't fully understood until recently. In the June 2026 CEP cover story, a leading flame arrester manufacturer shares the results of an extensive testing program that reveals exactly how neighboring arresters interact during deflagration and detonation events.
