NC State’s College of Engineering is proud to be an Institutional Member of CACHE

An organization whose purpose is “to promote cooperation among universities, industry and government in the development and distribution of computer-related and/or technology-based educational aids for the chemical engineering profession” is an organization that I am proud to represent as a trustee and as an institutional member. CACHE has made a positive impact on every university that I have worked for or studied at. Now, as dean of NC State University’s College of Engineering, I am proud that we are an institutional member.

The excellent tools CACHE provides for teaching computing skills in chemical engineering help expand chemical engineering education. Now with AI, CACHE plays an even more important role in the future of chemical engineering education. Across higher education, we all need resources to help students build the computational literacy that modern engineering demands. I know firsthand that CACHE helps make that happen. 

Beyond the classroom, CACHE supports conferences that I and other faculty attend to continue our growth and development as well as providing seed funding for research programs that study the impact of computing on chemical engineering education. I want the NC State College of Engineering students, instructors and researchers to take advantage of everything that CACHE offers---and I want other organizations to do the same. Supporting CACHE as an institutional member is one way that we help provide access to these great tools and support an organization that positively impacts chemical engineering.
