NAMS Education Committee

The NAMS Education web-page provides a forum for the presentation of new ideas, problems, and projects related to the incorporation of membrane science and technology in both undergraduate and graduate education. This site can also be used to post non-copyrighted images of membrane structures, modules.  Anyone interested in submitting material or assisting with the Education web-page should contact Andrew Zydney, the current chair of the NAMS Education Committee.

The papers below were originally published in the Winter 2003 issue of Chemical Engineering Education (CEE), and they are re-printed here through the generosity of CEE and the American Society for Engineering Education. HTML versions of the Abstracts are available by clicking on the paper title. PDF versions of the entire manuscript can be downloaded from the appropriate links.
