The Department of Chemical Engineering has announced the winners of the Noel E. Moore Achievement Award for fall quarter 2020-21.

Each quarter, the department recognizes academic excellence on the part of our students. The awards are named in memory of Professor Noel E.

Moore served for a decade as head of the Department of Chemical Engineering, was an early leader of Operation Catapult, and was a key advocate for making the institute co-educational. He was named an emeritus faculty member after his retirement in 1998. He passed away in 2018.
