This building, nicknamed Chem Sci, is where the Departments of Chemical Engineering and Chemistry are located. The Unit Operations Lab and Simulated Process Control Center are on the first floor. While most schools have a unit operations lab, we go further by running the lab remotely. The Chemistry Learning Center is also located here. Students in the College of Business use the computer lab on the first floor, sponsored by Kimberly-Clark. In 1969, a time capsule was placed in the wall of this building, to be opened in 2050. Chemistry alumnus Melvin Calvin (1931) won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1961.
The National Organization for the Professional Advancement of Black Chemists and Chemical Engineers is dedicated to building an eminent cadre of people of color in science and technology In pursuit of this mission NOBCChE initiates and supports local, regional, national, and global programs that assist people of color in fully realizing their potential in academic, professional, and entrepreneurial pursuits in chemistry, chemical engineering, and related fields. The MTU NOBCChE Student Chapter was founded in May 2019 by a group of students in the department of chemistry and chemical engineering and other STEM-related fields who appreciate the need for an association to build and promote black scientists. We are happy to have both undergraduates and graduates join this student chapter.
To promote and strengthen safety culture within the teaching and research laboratories, enhance the level of communication and discussion about safety among different hierarchy levels within Michigan Tech, enhance awareness of safety-related topics, provide easy access to relevant safety-related information, and prepare graduate students to provide leadership on safety issues. CGSC brings together all Lab Safety Officers (LSO) and other members of the organization through regularly scheduled meetings and social activities to discuss safety issues in the department of Chemistry at Michigan Tech.
Chemistry learned through lab experiences and personal interaction, a strong curriculum, and vigilant faculty guidance creates chemists of the future. We're proud of the work we do with students seeking undergraduate and graduate degrees--we take pride in promoting undergraduate and graduate research.
