Professor Hector Budman, a process systems engineering specialist who conducts multi-disciplinary research in the pharmaceuticals, water treatment, minerals processing, and pulp and paper industries, was recognized with the 2019 Faculty of Engineering Award of Excellence in Graduate Supervision at the Engineering Faculty & Staff Awards Dinner in PSE last night.

First-year Chemical Engineering students displayed their engineering design skills at the first annual CHE 180 Design Symposium in PSE on November 26, 2019.

The symposium was the culmination of an open-ended design challenge that required them to design, formulate and produce handcrafted soaps. Forty teams of students were on hand to discuss the projects they completed during CHE 180: Chemical Engineering Design Studio 1 and give visitors the opportunity to try their soap.
