Hey AIChE/SBE Members,
I would like to take this opportunity to thank everybody for their support as AIChE undergoes changes to accommodate the growth in interest and students in our department. We appreciate the large number of students attending our social and industry events, from our orientation and picnic to our graduate school panel and industry representative presentations.
We would also like to advertise upcoming events and opportunities for AIChE members:
1. BD Plant Tour
2. Bert’s Night
3. ChemE Car Competition
4. National AIChE Membership
5. Free Testing from Princeton Review
1. BD Plant Tour
On Wednesday, October 29th, we will be hosting a plant tour at the local Becton, Dickinson, & Company (BD) Diagnostics Plant. BD is one of the world’s biggest medical technology company, manufacturing and selling medical devices, instrument systems, and reagents. BD Diagnostics sells specimen collection and transport services and laboratory testing equipment. The segment is composed of two operating units: Preanalytical Systems (sample collection) and Diagnostic Systems (microbiology testing products and molecular assays). We will be leaving the MSE Library at 12:15pm and will return by 5pm. If you are interested in attending, please email

We are proud to continue our annual tradition of Bert’s Night (formerly known as Rocky Run Night) this November. This is an opportunity for students to meet a few of the professors from our department as they treat us to a meal. The event will take place on November 13th. Keep an ear open for further information in your classes as we get closer to the event date.
