Dr. Scott Fogler, a professor at the University of Michigan who wrote the textbook “Elements of Chemical Reactions Engineering” that is nearly ubiquitous in chemical engineering curricula around the world, was the third ChE GSA selected seminar speaker last Thursday.
Dr. Fogler’s seminar was entitled “How to Get from Here to There and What Happens Along the Way”. The seminar covered a wide variety of topics, including how his teaching career got started (or, more accurately, how it almost did not get started), how Penn State has influenced his career, how his current work on asphaltene deposition was influenced by one of his former graduate students as well as our current department head, Dr. Phil Savage, and how Kepner-Tregoe’s troubleshooting algorithm can be used to solve problems effectively. The seminar had many memorable anecdotes and life lessons weaved into Dr. Fogler’s interesting career path. At the end of the seminar, the ChE GSA presented Dr. Fogler with gift, which can be seen in the photo gallery below.
The ChE GSA thanks Dr. Fogler for coming to Penn State as our 2016 graduate-student-selected seminar speaker.
