Overview

Following on from the success of the previous symposium, this year’s Chemical Engineering Education Online Symposium focuses on digitalisation in education and offers an opportunity to explore new practices and gain insights into the future of digitalisation and AI in chemical engineering education.

This two-day virtual symposium brings together academics, students, recent graduates, and industry professionals to share perspectives, best practices, and challenges in integrating digital technologies into the curriculum.

Themes

Day 1: Digitalisation – Preparing Graduates to Meet Industry Needs

Explore how current education prepares students for industry’s digital demands. Discussions will focus on how we equip students to meet the needs of an increasingly digitalised workplace, alongside presentations on process simulation, cybersecurity, and the use of VR in chemical engineering education.

Day 2: The Future of Digitalisation & AI in Education

Explore the transformative impact of AI and digital technologies on teaching and learning. Talks include AI and ethics, innovative approaches to AI in teaching, and perspectives on how AI integrates with IChemE accreditation.
