The School of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering welcomes alumnus John Brock, chairman and CEO of Coca-Cola Enterprises, on "Making Ethics Meaningful at Coca-Cola Enterprises — The Real Thing, The Right Way," as the featured speaker in this annual lecture.
About the lecture:
In recognition of the outstanding career achievements of Georgia Tech Chemical Engineering graduate C.J. “Pete” Silas, The Phillips Petroleum Foundation awarded a grant to the School of Chemical Engineering to develop the Phillips Petroleum/C.J. “Pete” Silas Program in Ethics and Leadership. Ethics, leadership and quality, founded on the basics of strong communication skills and professionalism, are regarded as essential components of an engineering education. This program spotlights the importance of ethics and leadership by focusing on technical and business decisions that have ethical ramifications. These topics and related areas are integrated into the required chemical engineering courses and are addressed in an annual public symposium with prominent industrialists and ethicists leading discussions on current issues of technology and ethics.
