- Abel Cortinas, a senior chemical engineering major, won the National Student Paper Competition at the AIChE Annual Meeting in Minneapolis, Minn. for his work on "Flow-Aligned Graphene/PVA Nanocomposite Films."
- At the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE) National ChemE Car Competition at the 2011 AIChE Annual Meeting in Minneapolis, Minn., the Texas Tech University ChemE Car Team was awarded the "Safety Award." The goal of the competition is to provide chemical engineering students with the opportunity to participate in a team-oriented, hands-on design and construction of a small chemical powered model car. Teams must design and construct a car that is powered with a chemical energy source that will carry a specified load over a given distance and stop.
