Abstract

This paper presents a history of process safety education and the results of a Spring 2023 survey of US and Canadian departments.  The number of departments with process safety education throughout the curriculum and those with a required process safety course both continue to increase.  Lower-level learning outcomes are expected in departments without a required process safety course.  Links to resources are provided to assist faculty in overcoming the challenges of teaching this industrially oriented course.
