conference series in areas of importance to chemical engineering
CACHE is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit that promotes the development and distribution of computer-related and/or technology-based educational aids for the chemical engineering profession. Some of the activities include:
- Organize and promote conferences and workshops on Computer Aided Process Operations/Chemical Process Control, Computer Aided Process Design, Molecular Modeling and Simulation, Systems Biology in Engineering, and Process Analytics and Machine Learning.
- Maintain a Teaching Resource Center: This center (https://cache.org/teaching-resources-center) houses a curated collection of materials to assist faculty in teaching chemical engineering core courses.
- Provide faculty grants to support development of computer-based educational modules (https://cache.org/computational-tools-development)
- Support faculty awards: ASEE Edgar CACHE Award, AIChE Himmelblau Award, AIChE Evans Award
- Provide graduate student travel awards: over $40,000 in last three years for conferences
- Provide student awards for best posters at conferences
Some recent accomplishments:
- Supported development of Learn Aspen in 24 hours by Tom Adams
- Supported development of Polymath software (https://polymathplus.org/) for numerical problem solving
Future Initiatives:
- Industrial Datasets – Making curated sets available to faculty.
- Molecular Modeling – working to develop curated best practices and teaching materials on how to use quantum chemistry, molecular simulation and machine learning.
