Professor wins Phillips award

     Stanley I. Sandler, the Henry Belin du Pont Professor of Chemical
Engineering at the University of Delaware, received the Phillips Lecture
Award from the Phillips Petroleum Co. and the School of Chemical
Engineering at Oklahoma State University.
     On March 26, he presented the Phillips Lecture at Oklahoma State
University in Stillwater.  His topic was "Technological and Societal Change
and Chemical Engineering Education."
     The award recognizes and honors an outstanding educator in the field
of chemical engineering.
     Primary emphasis is given to contributions toward chemical engineering
education, although awardees have achieved prominence in technical areas as
well.
     Sandler is a nationally known expert in engineering education and
internationally renowned in the field of thermodynamics. He is the author
of numerous books, one of which is widely adopted as a text among chemical
engineering schools.
     At the University, Sandler directs the Center for Molecular and
Engineering Thermodynamics.
     He received his bachelor's degree in chemical engineering from the
City College of New York and his doctorate from the University of
Minnesota.
     In the past, he has been the recipient of the prestigious Professional
Progress Award of the American Institute of Chemical engineering, the
Chemical Engineering Division Award of the American Society of Engineering
Education and a U.S. Senior Scientist Award from the Humboldt Foundation in
Germany.
     The author or co-author of numerous scholarly publications and author
or editor of seven books, he serves on the editorial board of several
journals and is a member of a number of professional organizations.
     His research interests include the thermodynamic properties of liquids
and liquid mixtures, applied thermodynamics and phase equilibria, computer
assisted engineering education and statistical mechanics.
