CONSULTING (INDUSTRIAL) FACULTY 

This department believes strongly that good engineering scholarship should be closely coupled to real engineering problems. Consequently, we take advantage of our location in the Delaware Valley-New Jersey "heartland" of the chemical process industries to work with a significant number of industrial scholars who bring us specialized skills in association with the art of engineering as well as the science. These scholars are: 

  • Ralph J. Bertolacini (Amoco-Retired). 
  • Arthur W. Etchells III (DuPont Company). 
  • James J. Grant III (DuPont Company). 
  • Robert K. Grasselli (Mobil Research and Development-Retired). 
  • John H. Green (DuPont Company). 
  • Richard K. Grenville (DuPont Company). 
  • Michael P. Harold (DuPont Company). 
  • Allan E. Jones (DuPont Company-Retired). 
  • Simon G. Kukes (Rosprom Corporation). 
  • Jan J. Lerou (DuPont Company). 
  • Steven R. Lustig (DuPont Company). 
  • James E. Lyons (Sun Refining & Marketing Company). 
  • William H. Manogue (DuPont Company). 
  • Leo E. Manzer (DuPont Company). 
  • Patrick L. Mills (DuPont Company). 
  • Kenneth L. Mulholland (DuPont Company). 
  • Babatunde A. Ogunnaike (DuPont Company). 
  • Roger Phillips (Montell USA). 
  • Richard J. Quann (Mobil Research & Development Corporation). 
  • A.V. Ramamurthy (Union Carbide). 
  • Mark R. Schure (Rohm and Haas). 
  • Ravi Sharma (Eastman Kodak). 
  • Robert Sylvester (DuPont Company). 
  • James N. Tilton (DuPont Company). 
  • E. Alan Uebler (Mortenson & Uebler). 
  • Kurt F. Wissbrun (Hoechst-Celanese Research Company-Retired).
