GoldenGlobeValve2007

Welcome to the Chemical Engineering 466: Golden Globe Valve site! Below are the student presentations for Fall 2007. These presentations were peer scored to determine this year's awardees in a wide range of categories.

Above is a photograph of two of the six Golden Globe Valve awards handed out this year. These awards are steeped in symbolism including:
 * Cloth from a sacrificed sage sash. This sash identified you and your fellow sages as experts in the field.  The sash is tied in a knot to form a circle, representing the unbroken cycle of knowledge.
 * A real globe valve, known for its quality throttling capabilities giving precise control.
 * Blue handles and gold (approximately maize) metal, in homage to the alma mater.
