I’m getting the information about this $5000 AIChE (American Institute of Chemical Engineers) posted a little late for the 2009 deadline (in 6 days). But I wanted to post both for the few who might be eligible but either haven’t heard about this or might not have realized the deadline was coming up so soon and for other chemical engineering majors who might want to plan for next year.
