2009 Annual Report

Dear Alumni and Friends of the Department:

Th e past year was one of progress and growth for our department. We have become more accustomed to our new name, the William G. Lowrie Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, but for our 160 sophomores, it is all they have ever known. Th ose students completing our fi rst courses in Material and Energy Balances comprise the largest class we have ever seen. Our faculty and graduate students who serve as teaching assistants are doing their very best to provide a quality education even though they are coping with fairly large section sizes. Last year we went to three sections with enrollments of 54, 57 and 67 students in our fi rst course, ChBE 200, Chemical Process Calculations. Our graduating class was also large with 72 students earning their degrees last year and for the next several years we expect graduating classes of over 100.

To help with the increased enrollment and to add a new dimension to our research capabilities, we have added one new faculty member, David Wood, who comes to us from Princeton University. David is a chemical engineer with research interests in applied molecular biology, and we are most pleased to welcome him as our 18th faculty member. Additionally, John Corn, who was helping us as an instructor in our summer lab and design courses, retired. We were able to replace him with Carlo Scaccia. Both Carlo and John had distinguished careers at Ashland Chemicals and both were on hand last summer to lead our unit operations course taken by 118 of our juniors and seniors. Profi les of David Wood and Carlo Scaccia can be found in this Annual Report.

Th e Department continues to be very research intensive. Research expenditures last year were at an all time high of more than $13.3M or $780K/ faculty member on average. Large grants were won by Jim Lee in the area of nanotechnology, and several grants related to energy research were won by L.S.

Fan, Winston Ho and Umit Ozkan. Th is was the third consecutive year that research expenditures exceeded $12M and was only made possible by having our entire faculty very active in research along with their postdocs, graduate students and undergraduate researchers.

Finally, plans for our new building are proceeding along the promised timetable of having us occupy a new Koff olt Laboratories by the end of 2014. Th e site will be just West of our current location with the buildings Boyd, Johnston, Aviation and Haskett, (which are not in good condition) being torn down and replaced by a large Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering and Chemistry (CBEC) complex devoted to a collaborative chemical sciences research and education environment. Th e building will be more than 210,000 gross square feet with 109,000 assignable square feet for our two departments. Th e Koff olt Laboratories portion of the complex will occupy 60% of the space. Most of the research in Chemistry’s Evans Laboratory will be relocated to the new building. We are excited about the possibilities of increased research cooperation with our colleagues in Chemistry. Meanwhile the total building cost is $126M, including our fund raising obligation of $17.5M. We are making good progress in this capital campaign and thank all those alumni and friends who have given or pledged gift s for the building. Progress to date takes us to about 75% of our goal, though a good number of space naming opportunities remain.

Best wishes on behalf of our faculty, staff and students.

University recognizes generosity with fi rst-ever named department.

Th e U.S. Department of Energy has awarded a $5 million grant to professor L.S. Fan for research related to clean coal technology. Fan’s grant is part of $151 million awarded through the Department of Energy’s recently-formed Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (”ARPA-E”).

L.S. Fan, internationally recognized for his expertise in energy and environmental reaction engineering, will use the grant to further develop a process he invented to convert coal and

biomass to electricity while capturing carbon dioxide emissions.

Dr. Fan has successfully demonstrated the process, called syngas chemical looping, on a small pilot scale. With the new grant, he will scale up the process to a 250 kW pilot plant to obtain performance data to prove the process eventually can be commercialized for coal-based power plants, contributing to the United States’ eff orts toward energy independence and greenhouse gas emission reductions.

Th e syngas chemical looping process Fan and his research group developed uses an iron oxide-based chemical looping medium to indirectly and fl exibly convert carbonaceous fuels such as coal and biomass into hydrogen and/or electricity while at the same time capturing and separating the carbon dioxide. Th e process is simpler and more effi cient compared to conventional gasifi cation processes. Moreover, the pollutant and greenhouse gas management cost for the syngas chemical looping process is minimal compared to conventional process schemes.

Fan’s 250 kW pilot plant demonstration will be at the National Carbon Capture Center, which the U.S. Department of Energy formed this spring in Wilsonville, Ala., for a combined operating time of more than 3,000 hours. Fan expects the testing of the new pilot plant to fi nish by early 2013, with the next scale up to follow immediately.

Fan’s team will work with the Particulate Solids Research Institute to design and operate a cold fl ow model for the plant; Shell/CRI in preparing the iron oxide-based chemical looping medium; Babcock and Wilcox Co., Air Products and Chemicals Inc., and IWI Inc. for the design and construction of the plant; and CONSOL Energy, which will independently perform techno-economic analysis and collaborate with Ohio State and other partners on the commercialization plan.

Congratulations to the following Chemical Engineering Alumni Recipients of the 2009 Distinguished Alumnus Award!

James F. DietzJim Dietz, a native of Botkins, Ohio, received both a Bachelor of Chemical Engineering degree in 1969 and a Master of Science in Chemical Engineering in 1970 from Th e Ohio State University.

In 1969, Dietz began his career with Standard Oil of Ohio (Sohio) at the Vistron Chemical Plant in Lima, Ohio. He worked in various engineering and production supervisor positions in the nitrogen fertilizer facilities until 1980, when he transferred to Vistrons new grassroots chemical plant near Victoria, Texas. Aft er construction and startup of this new complex, Dietz continued to work there as operations manager until 1989. In 1986 British Petroleum (BP) acquired Standard Oil of Ohio, and in 1989, Dietz accepted a position in London as project director of a new European chemical plant. Aft er one year, the project was shelved and he became production manager at BP Chemicals chemical complex in Grangemouth, Scotland. In 1993, Dietz resigned from BP aft er 24 years of service to take the position of vice-president of manufacturing with Arcadian Corporation in Memphis, Tenn. When Arcadian was purchased in 1997 by Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan (PCS), he was named executive vice president, PCS Nitrogen. In November 2000, Dietz was named executive vice president and chief operating offi cer for Potash Corporation. In addition to responsibility for Potash Corporation’s worldwide operations, he has responsibility for the company’s safety, health and environment performance and procurement functions.

Dietz and his wife, Patricia (Pat), reside in Northfi eld, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago. Th ey have four children, Anita, Bradley, Douglas, and Marcia, and fi ve grandchildren.

F. William HauschildtAft er receiving his bachelor’s degree in chemical engineering from Ohio State in 1967, Bill Hauschildt began his career at Amoco R&D.

Over the years, Hauschildt developed an extensive technical, operational and commercial background. Among his posts with Amoco, he has been a refi ning process and catalysis researcher; technology manager at R&D (Process, Catalysis & Environmental Research), Operations; operations manager at the Whiting Indiana Refi nery; health safety and environment regional manager (supporting Refi neries, Pipeline, Marketing and Chemical plant operations); and refi ning planning manager (Capital Spending and Business Planning), all in the Chicago area. From 1996 to 1998, he was based in London, and was responsible for an Off -Shore North Sea Oil Brent system joint venture focused on late life reservoir and platform operations management. He was also responsible for technical and environmental preparations and acted as liaison with the UK government in planning for decommissioning of the fi eld. Aft er the BP-Amoco merger, Hauschildt’s last BP assignment was on the ARCO Merger Integration Team, where he was responsible for the integration of the ARCO Refi ning operations and related technology development and support into the BP Amoco refi ning system.

Hauschildt also holds a master’s degree in chemical engineering from the Illinois Institute of Technology and participated in Harvard’s Program for Management Development. He holds fi ve U.S. patents in refi ning process and catalysis and was responsible for implementing technical developments and later in his career, operations management at Amoco. He was active in the advisory group for Ohio State’s departments of chemistry and chemical engineering, in the area of catalysis. He was also involved with the advisory group to Northwestern University’s Catalysis Center.

Professor Jeff rey Chalmers and colleagues have developed devices to detect circulating tumor cells from patients with head, neck, breast, and other cancers. Jeff ’s team has earned eight patents based on this technology, as well as created jobs and attracted multimillion dollar funding. Ultimately this capability has the potential for saving lives. Th eir medical invention is just one example of how Ohio State innovation bolsters the state’s economy.

For example, in collaboration with Professor Ratnasingham Sooryakumar, of OSU’s Department of Physics, the device was developed from a tiny piece of square-centimeter silicon inlaid with rows of zigzagging magnetic wires. At each corner, the wire behaves like two magnets pointed north to north or south to south. Th e fi elds of the two magnets create a point of strong attraction just above them. A nearby magnetic object, such as a magnetically-tagged cell is attracted to the corner and gets stuck there.

To get the particles moving, the researchers then place two magnetic fi elds around the chip one in the plane of the chip and the other perpendicular to it. By fl ipping the direction of these fi elds, the researchers can guide tagged cells along the zigzagging wire and even make them jump from one wire to the next. Th e researchers computerized the magnetic fi eld switching so that a user can steer the cells by simply handling a

joystick. Chalmers and colleagues put the device through its paces with magnetically-tagged T-cells, the body’s guardians against infection. Th ey snapped the cells to attention at one end of the chip, marched them down to the other end, and made them hop from one wire to another, reaching speeds of about 20 micron, or about a one-fi ft h the width of a human hair, per second.

Chalmers said that the device would be ideal for examining tumor cells.“Part of the problem with cancer is that it’s our own cells going haywire, so it’s a heck of a lot harder to fi gure out what’s diff erent,” Chalmers said. With this method, he said, researchers could magnetically tag the well-understood healthy cells and then remove them from a sample, leaving only the cancerous cells. Chalmers said this would be a boon to both a researcher studying a specifi c type of cancer or a clinician diagnosing a patient.

Th e small magnetic fi elds are gentle on specimens; the device works on a fl at surface, an improvement over other methods; and it’s also cost-eff ective with the whole set-up costing only about $200.

Th e Nanoscale Science and Engineering Center (NSEC) for Aff ordable Nanoengineering of Polymeric Biomedical Devices (CANPBD) was recently awarded a $12.5M grant by the National Science Foundation in support of the Center's renewal through Phase II (10/01/2009-09/30/2014). Professor James Lee continues as the Principal Investigator.

Th e research vision of CANPBD is to revolutionize medical diagnosis and medicine by establishing an aff ordable multiscale synthesis and fabrication protocol leading to nanofl uidic and polymer therapeutic devices for personalized nanomedicine. An important emphasis of Phase II is to commercialize the developed technologies in close collaboration with end users. Th e broader impacts of the activities planned for Phase II are to (1) commercialize nanoengineered biomedical devices through aff ordable manufacturing methods and novel design, (2) extend research results from medical/biology applications to functional nanocomposites, water treatment, homeland security, environmental protection, and food industry toxicology, (3) establish new products and new industries to create high-paying jobs in the US, and (4) train the 21st century workforce in economically important and critical high-tech fi elds.

A team of Ohio State researchers has received federal stimulus money to develop a test for detecting rare cells that are among the most promising potential biomarkers of vascular health and aging.

Stuart Cooper, Professor and Department Chair, and Nicanor Moldovan, an investigator with the Davis Heart and Lung Research Institute, received a $1.2 million, two-year Grand Opportunities award from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act “stimulus package” of the National Institute of Aging at the National Institutes of Health.

Current testing for the concentration of these cells,

called endothelial progenitor cells, takes about a month. Cooper, Moldovan and colleagues are working to develop a much faster process — requiring just one to two days — that would use specially designed peptides from proteins that would adhere to the progenitor cells.Th e peptides would be connected to magnetic nanobeads so that once they adhere to the progenitor cells, they could be separated from the rest of the blood cells magnetically. Th e progenitor cells would then be grown into cell colonies for further analysis.

Th e researchers plan to use the method to test blood of populations of children, adults and seniors to determine whether various disease states could be detected via the concentrations of the cells. Th e research is estimated to have a combined direct and indirect economic impact of $3.3 million and 10 full-time jobs over its two-year period.

Bhavik Bakshi, professor of chemical and biomolecular engineering, aims to change the practice of implementing breakthrough technologies without fi rst examining the entire energy life cycle — from obtaining the raw material through disposing of the product.

“We need to think about the scale of use and broader applications,” says Bakshi, who is research director of the university’s Center for Resilience. “Omitting this step is one of the root causes of the unexpected surprises that oft en come with new technologies.”

With funding from the National Science Foundation and Environmental Protection Agency, Bakshi is examining the environmental burden of carbon nanofi bers, desired in various manufacturing applications for their mechanical strength, thermal and fl ame resistance, barrier properties, electrical conductivity and resistance to chemical attack.

To determine the life cycle energy use of those carbon nanofi bers, he examined each stage of their cycle. First, he and L. James Lee, along with doctoral student Vikas Khanna, compared the manufacture of nanofi bers with that of traditional materials on an equal mass basis. “Th e best carbon nanofi ber currently requires 300 times more energy than steel for production on a per-kilogram basis. Th at’s the killer,” Bakshi says. Since processes using nanomaterials are in nascent stages, he expects the ratio to improve as new technologies are developed.

In addition, energy savings resulting from the use of carbon nanofi bers in products as well as the increase or decrease in demand for those products will be deciding factors when comparing the materials. Bakshi and Khanna continued the research by evaluating the carbon nanofi bers when they are used in polymer nanocomposites for automotive body parts. In an analysis of the materials from the natural resources to the factory gate, they found that vehicles with polymer nanocomposite parts, depending on the quantities of carbon nanofi bers and the other materials in the resulting composites, use 1.4 to 10 percent less energy than a conventional car, mainly because the lighter nanocomposites result in less fuel consumption as the lighter car is driven. Th is corresponds to driving 9,000 to 13,000 miles less during the life of an average car.

Bhavik Bakshi’s Energy Life Cycle Research

David Wood joined the faculty this past fall as an associate professor. His work focuses on protein engineering, bioseparations and biosensing. Originally from El Paso, Texas, he completed a double major in Chemical Engineering and Molecular Biology as an undergraduate at Caltech in 1990. He then spent some time in industry before going on to graduate school. His Ph.D. work at Rensselaer Polytechnic led to the generation of an engineered, evolved self-cleaving protein subunit for applications in recombinant protein purifi cation. He then joined the Chemical Engineering faculty at Princeton University as an assistant professor in 2001. At Princeton, he combined this self-cleaving element with two novel self-cleaving purifi cation tags to create powerful and convenient non-chromatographic bioseparation technologies. In addition, he has created new hybrid proteins that allow simple bacterial cells to react to human hormones and hormone-like chemicals. Th ese cells are now being used to discover new drugs for various disorders, as well as detect hormone-like pollutants in the environment. Th ese technologies have now been requested by over 100 laboratories worldwide, and have the potential to signifi cantly impact the way protein-based pharmaceuticals are manufactured worldwide.

Engineers at Ohio State are testing a new biobutanol fermentation technology at a recently constructed pilot plant in Gahanna, Ohio.

Shang-Tian Yang, professor of chemical and biomolecular engineering, and his colleagues developed a way to double the production of the biofuel butanol, which might someday replace gasoline in automobiles. With support from a $1 million grant from Ohio Department of Development Th ird Frontier Advanced Energy Program, Yang partnered with ButylFuel, a start-up company, to build the pilot plant.

Yang’s process improves on the conventional method for producing butanol in a bacterial fermentation tank. Normally, he explains, bacteria could only produce a certain amount of butanol — perhaps 15 grams of the chemical for every liter of water in the tank — before the tank would become too toxic for the bacteria to survive. Yang and his colleagues developed a mutant strain of the bacterium clostridium beijerinckii in a bioreactor containing bundles of polyester fi bers. In that environment, the mutant bacteria produced up to 30 grams of butanol per liter.

Once developed as a fuel, butanol could potentially be used in conventional automobiles in place of gasoline while producing more energy than another alternative fuel, ethanol.“Today, the recovery and purifi cation of butanol account for about 40 percent of the total production cost,” explains Yang. “Because we are able to create butanol at higher concentrations, we believe we can lower those costs and make biofuel production more economical.”

Advancing Production of Biofuel

Carlo Scaccia joined the Department last summer, bringing with him thirty years of experience in the Chemical Industry as researcher and executive offi cer. His research interests encompass polymers, composites, adhesives/sealants/coatings, three-phase reactor dynamics, electronic chemicals, fermentation/biochemistry, rheology, thermal oxidation, water treatment, instrumentation and bench scale-pilot plant-commercial operations. Aft er receiving his Ph.D. from SUNY, he joined Dow/Union Carbide where he conducted and directed research on new process/product development. He subsequently joined Ashland Inc. as VP of Research and later as Offi cer-VP and General Manager of the Specialty Polymers & Adhesives Division. Most recently, he held the concurrent positions of General Manager US Operations and VP of Global Technology at Sensient Technologies in the food and beverage fl avors industry. Th e eleven patents he was granted have been commercialized. He has published several articles and previously taught undergraduate courses at SUNY and OSU. He holds a registered professional engineer license and is a graduate of the Harvard Business School- Advanced Management Program.

Associate professor, Andre Palmer, and his research team are developing oxygen-carrying solutions for transfusion medicine. One area of focus is on synthetic red blood substitutes, which may one day lead to a universal blood supply.

In the United States, allogeneic red blood cell (RBC) transfusion has long been considered an important treatment option for patients suff ering from blood loss. However, the recent emergence of infectious agents such as the H1N1 infl uenza virus and others has put the blood supply at risk.

Currently, the American Red Cross tests donated blood for hepatitis B and C viruses, human immunodefi ciency virus (HIV), human T-cell lymphotropic virus, syphilis, West Nile virus and the agent of Chagas disease. As a result the safety of the U.S. blood supply, in terms of transfusion, transmitted diseases is quite good. However as new infectious agents emerge the costs of a unit of blood increases; since additional screening tests may have to be conducted before blood can be distributed to health care providers. Of more concern is the fact that donated blood may contain yet to be identifi ed infectious agents. In addition there are new concerns regarding the safety of blood transfusions following extended durations of storage.

Th e safety of the blood supply in developing countries is even more problematic, since serious concerns still exist about the risks associated with blood transfusion including: potential contamination by blood-bourn pathogens; fatal immunological reactions; acute lung injury and even mistransfusion. To further compound the problem, the availability of human blood is even more limited in emergency situations such as wars or natural disasters. Th erefore, it has been a long-term goal of scientists and engineers to develop an effi cacious and safe universal RBC substitute for use in transfusion medicine.

Toward this goal, Palmer is developing a wide range of hemoglobin-based oxygen carriers (HBOCs) including: polymerized hemoglobins, vesicle encapsulated hemoglobins and recombinant hemoglobins. Th ese HBOCs can be used as RBC substitutes in transfusion medicine and oxygen delivery vehicles in tissue engineering.

Oxygen-Carrying Solutions for Transfusion Medicine

Professor Andre Palmer and undergraduate researcher Mark Politz areinvestigating novel strategies for purifying recombinant hemoglobins to meetthe increasing global demand for an artifi cial blood substitute.

Professor Winston Ho and his group members have developed an advanced membrane fabrication technique, shown schematically in Figure 1, for the synthesis of high-fl ux water desalination membranes. In this approach, a selected hydrophilic additive is incorporated into the interfacially polymerized thin fi lm to increase the hydrophilicity of the membrane. As shown in this fi gure, the aqueous solution containing the selected hydrophilic additive and a diamine (m-phenylenediamine) is coated on the surface of microporous polysulfone support with a typical pore size of 50 nm. An interfacial polymerization is then carried out between the aqueous amine solution and a hydrocarbon solution containing trimesoyl chloride to synthesize the high-fl ux reverse osmosis (RO) membrane. Th e hydrophilic additive incorporated in the membrane has provided an additional pathway for water transport across the membrane, resulting in a very high fl ux of water along with a high salt rejection both for brackish water (with 0.2% sodium chloride solution at 225 psi (1.55 MPa) pressure) and seawater (with 3.28% sodium chloride solution at 800 psi (5.51 MPa) pressure) desalination applications. Th e fl uxes have been signifi cantly higher (about 100%) than those for the state-of-the-art membranes in brackish water and seawater desalination.

Th e membrane has exhibited good stability. Figure 2 shows the constant fl ux and salt rejection for a run of 30 days. Th ere were no signifi cant changes of the membrane from the stability test detected by Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (FTIR) as shown in Figure 3.

Th is group has also developed a fouling resistant coating based on crosslinked poly(ethylene glycol) for the high fl ux membranes. Th e coating on the top of the high fl ux membrane not only provides strong fouling resistances to tannic acid, a common foulant encountered in brackish water desalination and to the sodium salt of alginic acid derived from seaweed in seawater desalination, but also can protect the membrane during the rolling operation in the fabrication of a membrane element. Th e membrane will be evaluated by the US Navy for the future shipboard desalination. Th is work has been sponsored by the Offi ce of Naval Research.

Th e 2009 Lowrie Lectures were held on May 7-8, with this year’s lecturer being Dr. Gabor A. Somorjai, a University Professor in the Department of Chemistry at the University of California, Berkeley. Dr. Somorjai received his Ph.D. degree in Chemistry from the University of California, Berkeley in 1960 and aft er 4 years at IBM, he returned to Berkeley as an Assistant Professor where he has been Professor of Chemistry since 1972. He was designated Uni-versity Professor in 2002 and also serves as Director of the Surface Science and Catalysis Program at the Center of Advanced Materials at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Professor Somorjai has educated 125 Ph.D. students and more than 250 postdoctoral fellows, about 100 of them hold faculty positions and many more are leaders in industry. He is the author of more than 1,000 scientifi c papers in the fi elds of surface chemistry, heterogeneous catalysis, and solid state chemistry. He has written three textbooks, Principles of Surface Chemistry, Prentice Hall, 1972; Chemistry in Two Dimensions: Surfaces, Cornell University Press, 1981; and Introduction to Surface Chemistry and Catalysis, Wiley-Interscience, 1994; and a monograph, Adsorbed Monolayers on Solid Surfaces, Springer-Verlag, 1979.

Among his many honors are the National Medal of Science, membership in the National Academy of Sciences and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the Langmuir Prize, the Wolf Prize, the Henry Albert Palladium Medal, and a number of research awards from the American Chemical Society including the Priestley Medal and 8 Honorary Doctorates.

Heterogeneous metal catalysts are nanoparticles that carry out reactions at high reactant gas pressures or in the liquid phase. Model surfaces were used to study heterogeneous catalytic reactions in order to control and monitor the atomic surface structure, composition and reaction intermediates while simultaneously measuring reaction rates and selectivities. To obtain quantitative correlations between catalytic reaction kinetics and the molecular factors that control reaction dynamics. Reactions were found to induce restructuring of the metal surfaces and mobility of adsorbed molecules. Nanosize transition metal catalysts achieve facile restructuring and rapid change in surface composition under reaction conditions as their low atom coordination permits rapid bond rearrangements. Improved techniques for molecular studies of surfaces that provide better time resolution and spatial resolution will enhance our ability to study the dynamics of surfaces, which are key to both activity and selectivity during catalysis. Th e control of metal nanoparticle size and shape provides opportunities to achieve superior reaction selectivity.

Th e catalytic converter on automobiles greatly improved the air quality of Los Angeles. Air separation to oxygen and nitrogen is at the heart of water purifi cation technologies. Chemical manufacturing to produce the desired product selectively without waste byproducts is the challenge of chemical process technologies and biotechnologies which are commonly called “green chemistry”. Th e chemical, mechanical, optical, electrical and magnetic properties of surfaces studied on the molecular scale led to developments of new high technology industries that have enriched the United States.

Cooperative Learning Experiences: Autumn 2008 through Autumn 2009Th e Engineering Cooperative Education & Internship Program (ECIP) helps undergraduate students to obtain career-related employment of two types: cooperative education (co-op) positions and internships. A co-op experience provides an opportunity to apply what is learned in the classroom in career-related positions by alternating quarters of full-time coursework with periods of paid, full-time employment. Internship involves one work period with an employer. A work period may last for one quarter or for two consecutive quarters. Summer internships are the most popular among students and employers.

Students meet with Brian Endres and Holly Prouty to evaluate diff erent schedule arrangements before interviewing because many employers hire for specifi c “rotations”. For instance, students may work full-time during the summer quarter, attend full-time classes in autumn, and return to their employer for full-time work in the winter. Th e most popular term to work is the summer. Last summer we had 28 students at internships and 31 at co-ops (as reported to ECS).

2009 Placement Record for UndergraduatesGraduates of our program continue to have a strong placement record both within industry and within graduate and professional programs. Th e percentages provided here are based on senior exit surveys at the time of graduation.

Th irty-seven percent of our graduates will be going directly to industry with their B.S. degrees. About 20% of our students will be going on to graduate or professional school. Close to 17% of our students have accepted positions in Ohio and will stay in the state to pursue their post graduation plans. Students will be working at various corporations such as Exxon Mobil, the Dow Chemical Company, Procter and Gamble, and DuPont.

A number of our graduates received Latin Honors, With Distinction Honors or With Honors in Engineering. Latin honors are defi ned as follows: a cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 3.5-3.69 is Cum Laude; 3.70-3.89 is Magna Cum Laude; and 3.90-4.00 is Summa Cum Laude. Th irty-seven percent of our students graduated with some level of Latin Honors. A student who graduates “With Distinction” is an honors student (greater than a 3.4 GPA) who has completed a senior honors research thesis. A student who graduates “With Honors in Engineering” has completed a three-prong program consisting of completing a required number of honors courses, participation in community service, leadership and outreach as well participation in “investigational studies” which typically includes completing a research paper or thesis or completing a minor. Th irteen students graduated with Honors in Engineering and nine students graduated With Distinction in various disciplines.

A total of 153 students were awarded undergraduate scholarships in the Chemical & Biomolecular program. Th e vast majority of those students were current majors, although a small amount went to recruit high ability fi rst year students as well. A total of $109,600 was awarded to students heading into the 2009-2010 school year. Th is year the department awarded more scholarships but gave out less money than the previous year. Th is has resulted in a lower average award per student than in previous years. Huge increases in enrollment and variability in many endowments have caused these trends.

Trends in data from fi nancial aid show that the number and amount of both student and parent loans have been increasing. Both Ohio State tuition and University fi nancial support have increased yearly. However, since the increase in scholarship support hasn’t been able to keep up with tuition increases, engineering students and their families have had to increase their debt levels to cover the additional costs. In the Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering Department, department scholarships from alumni and corporate donors help defray a small part of the loan burden for many of our students.

Department scholarships are determined mainly by merit, however, when a scholarship specifi es that a student’s need be considered, both merit and need are taken into account. We thank those of our alumni who have established scholarship endowments for this purpose as well as our corporate donors who provide scholarships on an annual basis.

Graduate Program

Th e 2010 U.S. News and World Report rankings of engineering graduate programs placed the Lowrie Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at #27. Th e College of Engineering was also ranked #27 in the nation. While the college rankings are based in good part on objective measures such as research funding, number of Ph.D. graduates, number of publications, etc., the departmental rankings are based on subjective surveys of deans of engineering and industrial executives. In 2010, we expect the National Research Council to publish a listing of departmental rankings that will be more quantitatively based. We have submitted our data for the NRC exercise and are guardedly optimistic that our department will receive a higher ranking from that analysis compared to the U.S. News survey. In any case, these fi ndings in the table are good news for the Department.

Ranking

Th e following table, relating to faculty research and our PhD program, reinforces that our faculty are highly productive. Since 2005, we have averaged a graduation rate of 15.4 PhD students per year and a ratio of 0.94 Ph.D. degrees per faculty member. It is signifi cant that in 2005 and 2006, we were fi ft h in the nation in the graduation of chemical engineering doctoral students. Th is is noteworthy as the leading departments in this category typically have many more faculty members than Ohio State.
