Engineering Expertise
The poster session is sponsored by the Youth
Council on Sustainable Science and Engineering, the Sustainable Engineering
Forum, the Government Relations Committee, and the AIChE
Energy Initiative.
Posters will include:
l The award winning effort from Rowan University Chemical Engineers on
Green Engineering Research
l
l EPA P3 winners from MIT on Energy sustainability
l
l The 2008 Sustainable Engineering Forum’s Outstanding Student
Paper
l The three 2008 Washington Interns for Students of Engineering projects
(two are energy policy, one on bio research policy)
l Perspectives of Barclay Satterfield, recent Chemical Engineering Ph.D.
working as a fellow with the US Congress in 2008
Tuesday, November 18: 2 pm. Robert
Sylvester of DuPont will present the Sustainability 101:
“Sustainability Actions an Individual Can Take.” Contact ifs@aiche.org
for registration information. This short
course is offered free of charge; register when you sign up for the
conference. In addition, even if you can’t attend the
Wednesday, November 19: 12:00 pm. Pharmaceutical Topical and SEF Luncheon
Wednesday, November 19: 4:30 pm - 7:30 pm. Center for Sustainable Technology Practices
Annual Meeting
CSTP will meet on Wednesday November 19 from
4:30 to 7:30 pm to discuss project plans for 2008. They will also be issuing the CSTP
Sustainability Guide at the meeting.
Friday, November 21: 8 am – 5 pm. IfS Total Cost
Assessment Users Meeting and Workshop
In this workshop, which consists of the one
day Short Course, followed by a web meeting, we will conduct a total cost
assessment using the expertise of the assembled group. In addition to preparatory exercises,
the group will have the opportunity to participate in the TCA with an
experienced facilitator. We will
explore what works well and what are stumbling blocks to success.
The Total Cost Assessment (TCA) methodology
relies on interdisciplinary expertise combined with advanced computing power to
determine the risks associated with a decision. This financial analysis goes beyond
traditional cost accounting to show the various possible futures: worst case,
blue sky, and most probable results.
The Total Cost Assessment process produces valuable insight into a
decision, such as areas where risks can and should be minimized, and where
costs associated with intangibles: morale, community relations, and/or brand
value; are significant enough to counterbalance traditional financial analysis. Businesses have used TCA to analyze
environmental and health management systems, investment in new technologies,
and mergers and acquisitions among others.
After class, the instructor will use a TCA tool to crunch the scenarios defined
during the workshop. The participants will get an e-mailed copy of the model in
about two weeks. Participants will
then have the opportunity to assemble the final report using the results
obtained from the tool. We will
conclude with a presentation of the results during a web conference (scheduled
to include as many participants as possible) including a discussion of
sensitivity analysis, results achieved, and how to present the results to
others.
You should attend if you are: looking to
connect the triple bottom line to your company’s profitability, facing a
decision with considerable risk but an apparently high payback from a
conventional accounting approach, interested in converting environmental and
social impacts or the results of your risk analysis into monetary value.
To register or for additional information, contact ifs@aiche.org. There is a fee for this
workshop.
