"Includes links to experts, discussion of optimization of chemical processes, design and laboratory reports (complete, online examples), spreadsheet solutions, some links to other useful sites, and an answer to 'why become a chemical engineer?'"

History of Chemical Engineering & Chemical Technology
http://www.pafko.com/history//h_intro.html

Useful for non-chemists interested in the growth and development of chemical engineering as a profession. It includes a history of the industry, references to this century's contributions, a timeline of events, an extensive bibliography, and various special features and charts describing, for example, energy resources, nitrogen, growth of chemical engineering education and wages. Although not searchable, this resource has a useful table of contents and is easy to navigate. Appropriate resource for younger students.

IPCS Inchem

"Authoritative information about the hazards of chemicals is essential if they are to be used safely. IPCS INCHEM consolidates a wide variety of information produced by a number of international bodies whose goal is to assist in the sound management of chemicals. IPCS INCHEM provides a means of rapid access to information on chemicals commonly used throughout the world, which may also occur as contaminants in the environment and food."

NIST Chemistry WebBook
