2025 AIChE Annual Meeting

(427a) Upskilling Chemical Engineers in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) are no longer “just hype” but foundational technologies that are woven into most of our modern-day processes. Steeped in over 40 years of rich history within the field of chemical engineering, AI/ML techniques will need to be deeply understood at all levels spanning from the lab intern to the executive leading a global fleet of industrial plants. This session presents a framework for reviewing foundational skills rooted in first principles, pathways to engagement, and use cases for a broad range of roles. Let’s build a long-term AI/ML skill map tailored for all chemical engineers.
