The PIChE Chemical Process Safety Committee would like to ask your support in achieving one of the teamโs objectives: to empower chemical engineering professors to design internationally aligned curricula and effectively teach process safety within their programs.
PIChE CPSC believe this can be accomplished through the following initiatives:
Strengthening Academic Expertise in Process Safety Principles
Equip professors with comprehensive knowledge of hazard analysis and risk evaluation techniques, process safety risk reduction systems, and risk management approaches aligned with global standards (e.g., CCPS, SAChE, IChemE).
Enabling Curriculum Development Aligned with International Best Practices
Support professors in designing and integrating process safety content into chemical engineering programs, ensuring alignment with leading universities and accreditation bodies.
Promoting Effective Teaching and Learning of Process Safety
Provide access to modern teaching tools, case studies, and assessment methods to enhance student engagement and strengthen understanding of real-world process safety challenges.
For this year, our primary focus is on strengthening professorsโ competencies in the field of process safety. To design effective training programs, we would like to understand the Process Safety knowledge gaps within the academe.
To support this, we are conducting a Competency and Needs Assessment Survey. The Academe's participation and valuable insights will play a crucial role in shaping meaningful and impactful Process Safety training programs for the academic community and addressing the needs of our Chemical Engineering Educators. We look forward to receiving the completed surveys by April 17, 2026.
