Summary
The Chemical Engineering Department at Loughborough has existed for some thirty one years although chemical engineering was taught there from 1947. The Department began with some thirty students and three staff and now has about 250 undergraduates, 50 post graduate students, 20 faculty and 20 or so ancillary workers. This paper traces the history of this development and records some of the innovative features which the department has pioneered.
