Student Groups
American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE)
The student chapter of AIChE at UL Lafayette is the primary student
organization in the department. This organization has a room in Madison Hall
where students gather to study and discuss various student activities. It is
AIChE that organizes our effort for “Engineering Day". This includes sports
of football, volleyball, basketball and softball played between engineering
departments. For the past several years Chemical Engineering has won “Best
Department" on Engineering Day.
AIChE organizes out of town field trips to various process plants. They also
organize trips to the Spring AIChE meeting and to National AIChE meetings.
Dr. James R. Reinhardt is the student chapter advisor. National
Association of Corrosion Engineers (NACE)
During the summer of 2003 the Department of Chemical Engineering formed
the first ever NACE student chapter. The 12 charter members are all NACE
student members and they will meet with the local Teche Chapter at the
Petroleum Club each month. The Teche Chapter will provide speakers and meals
to the students that attend the meetings. Scholarships are planned for
student members with perfect attendance.
The International NACE meeting will be held in New Orleans in the spring of
2004 and the chapter is planning to attend. Attendance at this meeting is
free of charge for student members. Dr. James D. Garber is the student
chapter advisor.
Omega Chi Epsilon
The Chemical Engineering Honor Society is Omega Chi Epsilon. The Alpha
Chi Chapter was formed in 1979 and has continued to honor students who
achieve at least a 3.0 gpa in Chemical Engineering.
This student chapter helps maintain the AIChE room in Madison Hall and
provides tutoring to Chemical Engineering students. The initiation ceremony
is performed once a year, usually in the spring. Dr. James D. Garber is the
faculty advisory for this society.
