WSU chemical engineering professor to receive national award for sustainability education

Yinlun Huang, professor of chemical engineering and materials science in the Wayne State College of Engineering, has been selected to receive the 2016 Sustainable Engineering Forum (SEF) Education Award from the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE). This award annually recognizes an educator who has made outstanding contributions to sustainability education in the classroom or engineering community.

Huang will be presented the 2016 SEF Education Award at a luncheon in November during the AIChE annual national meeting in San Francisco.

Among Huang's achievements in sustainable engineering education at Wayne State was the development of capstone course materials for sustainable process design, as well as a graduate certificate program on sustainable engineering. Huang's work is further reflected in a litany of projects supported by educational grants and awards received by graduate and undergraduate students under his supervision.

Huang was also the recipient of the 2010 AIChE Research Excellence in Sustainable Engineering Award, making him the first in the chemical engineering community to receive both AIChE honors.

Founded in 1908, AIChE is the world's leading organization for chemical engineering professionals, with more than 50,000 members in industry, academia and government.
