  1. Subjects Overview ─ ChBE, MSE, and PTFE Bing Wang ISD Meeting March 9, 2006

  2. School of Engineering Formerly known as "Chemical Engineering“, "Biomolecular" was officially added in 2003 Main office is located in the Ford Environmental Science & Technology Building (ES&T), and faculty offices are dispersed throughout the campus in ES&T, IBB, MiRC, B-H, Carnegie, BME, and IPST. www.chbe.gatech.edu 39 Full-time faculty + 7 Emeritus Professors and 3 Adjunct Professors BS, MS, five-year BS/MS, PhD, and Certificate programs Currently, the School enrolls more than 800 students, and awarded 126 bachelor's degrees, 22 master's degrees, and 29 doctoral degrees from summer 2004 through spring 2005. 6 major Research Centers Ronald W. Rousseau, Chair School of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering (ChBE)

  3. B.S. in Chemical Engineering Five-Year B.S./M.S. Degree in Chemical Engineering M.S. in Chemical Engineering Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering Multidisciplinary Degrees: M.S. in Bioengineering M.S. in Paper Science and Engineering M.S. in Polymers Ph.D. in Bioengineering Ph.D. in Paper Science and Engineering School of ChBE Contd. ─ Degrees • Certificates Available Institute-Wide for Graduates: • Composites • Polymer Engineering • Polymers • Pulp and Paper

  4. School of ChBE Contd. ─ Activities • Two Studying Abroad Programs are available for Undergraduate Students: 5-week session in UK and 10-week session in France • Graduate Research Symposium, established by the Association of Chemical Engineering Graduate Students (AChEGS) at Georgia Tech to provide a forum for Graduate Students and Faculty of the School to interact with representatives from industry.

  5. School of Materials Science & Engineering (MSE) • College of Engineering • Located in the Love Manufacturing Building • 39 Full-time faculty + 8 Emeritus Professors and 7 Adjunct Professors • BS, MS, five-year BS/MS, PhD, minor, and Certificate programs • 121 undergraduates and 187 graduate students are currently enrolled • 14 Interdisciplinary Research Centers • Robert L. Snyder, Chair • www.mse.gatech.edu

  6. School of MSE Contd. ─ Degrees • B.S. in MSE • Five-year B.S./M.S. in MSE • M.S. in MSE • Ph.D. in MSE • Minor in MSE for non-MSE Undergraduates • Second B.S. in MSE for non-MSE Undergraduates • Undergraduate Certificates in Biomaterials, Composites, and Nanomaterials

  7. School of MSE Contd. ─ Some Facts • Undergraduate program ranked 7th and graduate program ranked 11th by U.S. News and World Report in 2005  • MSE students have the highest SAT scores at Georgia Tech • Over 160 faculty members have been identified as major contributors to materials-related research on campus.  Over 70 undergraduate and 80 graduate courses are regularly offered in materials-related topics across campus, along with materials-related seminars.

  8. School of MSE Contd. ─ Activities • Georgia Tech Materials Council was formed in 1994 to “address cooperative education and research program development across departmental and College lines”. Participating schools include AE, BME, CEE, ChBE, Chemistry, ECE, GTRI, Physics, ME, MSE, and PTFE. One of the major event sponsored by Materials Council is the annual Institute Materials Seminar Series. • Georgia Industrial Fellowships for Teaching (GIFT) program is for high-school math and science teachers interested in experiencing hands-on participation in research. • Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF) is for undergraduate science and  engineering students to experience hands-on participation in the multidisciplinary field of materials research. • International Research Experience Program (IREP) is for SURF students to participate in research at an international site like China, Japan, and Singapore.

  9. School of Polymer, Textile, and Fiber Engineering (PTFE) • College of Engineering • “Polymer” was officially added in 2003 • Located in the Manufacturing Related Disciplines Complex I (MRDC) • 14 Full-time faculty + 2 Emeritus Professors • BS, MS, five-year BS/MS, PhD, minor, and Certificate programs • 3 major Research Laboratories • Anselm Griffin, Chair • www.ptfe.gatech.edu

  10. School of PTFE Contd. ─ Degrees • B.S. in Textile & Fiber Engineering • B.S. in Polymer & Fiber Engineering • Five-year BS/MS in Polymer and Fiber Engineering • M.S. in Polymers • M.S. in Textile & Fiber Chemistry • M.S. in Textile & Fiber Engineering • Ph.D. in Textile Engineering • Minor in Textile Enterprise Management • Certificate in Textile Enterprise Management • Certificate in Polymer Engineering and Polymers

  11. Major Databases • Compendex: General topics • Knovel Library: Background & property information • MDL CrossFire Beilstein & Gmelin: Property information, Chemical Structures available • NIST Chemistry WebBook: Property information • SciFinder Scholar: General topics & property information, Chemical Structures available • Web of Science: General topics • World Textiles: General topics in polymers and fibers

  12. MDL CrossFire Beilstein & Gmelin • The MDL CrossFire Beilstein & Gmelin databases are searchable through the MDL CrossFire Commander client. Download information can be found at: https://www.library.gatech.edu/xfire/xfire.htm (Unlimited access and on-campus use only). • The Beilstein Database contains over 30 million reports on properties of about 9 million organic compounds. It also contains information about over 9 million reactions. • The Gmelin Database contains information about structural, chemical, and physical information on inorganic and organometallic compounds. It includes 2 million compounds and 1.5 million reactions from 1772 to the present. • Both Beilstein and Gmelin are text searchable, structure searchable, data searchable, and in any combination of the above.

  13. Organic/Inorganic/Organometallic Compounds • Organic compounds are composed of carbon and hydrogen, and can possibly contain any of the other elements such as nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, and sulfur. • An inorganic compound is a chemical compound not containing carbon and hydrogen atoms bonded to each other. • An organometallic compound is partially characterized by the presence of one or more metal-carbon bonds, in which the carbon involved would, apart from the metal-carbon bond, be otherwise considered a part of an organic compound. • The distinction between organic chemistry and inorganic chemistry is not absolute and there is much overlap, most importantly in the sub-discipline of organometallic chemistry.
