POSITIVE TESTIMONIES FROM FORMER STUDENTS:

ChE-96: “I really did enjoy the format. The topics were interesting and the design project has been an educational experience. I ... enjoyed having you as a professor .... I cannot think of another professor (in any department) that has demonstrated such a genuine interest in his students…."

ChE-97: "I'm fine, but extremely busy. My schedule brings memories of your classes albeit I have much coveted free time on most nights and weekends. Don't let up on your students - they will appreciate being driven that hard once in industry. I didn't say it and surely didn't think it at the time, but being pushed that hard, i.e., as hard as we were in your class, was beneficial.  As I recommended before, don't dare let up.  Thanks."

ChE-98: "I remember my classmates and myself constantly complaining about our workload. However, you always told us that it would eventually pay off, and it did. ... You do not realize how well prepared you are until you are able to compare your skills to graduates from other universities"
ChE-00: "I was very impressed with how hard we worked and how well we tied up all the loose ends during the past couple of weeks. All of my group members were ... more than willing to contribute even if it meant staying up all night to get something done."
ChE-01: "I would like to thank you very much for helping me get where I am today, not only academically, but also personally.  I want to thank you for having the courage to challenge students the way that you do in your design class.  I feel like the rigors of your undergraduate design course helped me develop confidence, intestinal fortitude, and true grit.  It made me a true engineer and a better person" (received in 2005)
ChE-02: "I have used PRO/II on a number of projects and found that I was able to do my work rather quickly having worked with the program before. It was a leg up because I didn't have to ask for a lot of help and was able to learn new features on my own ....."         
ChE-03: "...I think this class was a lot harder than any class that I've ever taken. However, I have never learned so much in my life ....."         
ChE-04:  "...Thanks Dr. B.  This semester I learned a lot about myself and what I am capable of ."         
ChE-05:  "Before taking this class, I really had no idea about how a chemical engineer would do in real life. I just did hws, quizzes, exams and then went home. But, after I took this class, I've learnt a lot of things such as how to get the materials (that I've learnt in three years) go together and improve the team work."         
ChE-06:  "He will make you do things you didn't know were possible and will try to make you do things that are impossible. In the end you have a fine product that you will enjoy not having to do again.."         
ChE-07:  "This class .... teaches hard work, decision making, leadership, and possibly the most important, confidence. Although I felt that I was prepared to enter industry after the fall semester, I know now that I can accomplish anything."         
ChE-08:  "This capstone project is definitely the largest assignment I have ever worked on. This is preparing me for industry better than any other class".       
ChE-09:  "The class was a great learning experience".
