2020 Graduates and Award Recipients in Chemical Engineering
Despite the many challenges of 2020, the students in the Tim Taylor Department of Chemical Engineering demonstrated exceptional perseverance and flexibility during the transition to remote learning. We awarded 68 BS degrees, three MS degrees and one PhD degree.
The traditional awards banquet held at the end of the spring semester had to move to a virtual ceremony. Although we missed getting to share a meal and the opportunity to express congratulations in person, the evening was still a great way to celebrate and honor our students.
The seniors created a special video to commemorate time at K-State, there were a few games to win door prizes, and we recognized the following winners of the chemical engineering departmental awards.
