Imperative of Integrating Process Safety Education in Chemical Engineering Curricula

Abstract

The integration of process safety education into chemical engineering programs has become a pressing necessity for chemical engineers worldwide. However, some chemical engineering programs have not yet incorporated process safety into their curricula. The purpose of this Viewpoint is to encourage a discussion on the imperative of mobilizing a global update of chemical engineering education and integrating process safety. This initiative will not only inspire experts in the field to support those seeking this change but also encourage new participants, especially from countries that have not yet embraced this much-needed transformation in chemical engineering education.
