MC 00299 Guide to the Richard M. Felder Papers, 1965-2000The Richard M. Felder Papers are divided into two series:
This series contains reprints and copies of several of Felder's publications. The first subseries (Teaching) contains articles
he authored and co-authored on teaching and educational topics and philosophies. The second subseries (Research) contains
articles on chemical engineering topics. The third subseries (Instructional Materials) contains guides and other informational
packets to supplement the teaching of chemical engineering. Finally, the fourth subseries (Other Materials) contains other
articles that Felder authored which do not fall into the catagories of the previous subseries.
Materials are arranged chronologically, and then alphabetically therein.

Felder Papers contain reprints and copies of many of Felder's published articles on teaching and eduacation as well as his articles on chemical engineering. Also included in this collection are text copies of several presentations Felder gave, a VHS copy of one presentation, miscellaneous paper files, and three plaques recognizing awards Felder recieved during his career. Historical NoteRichard M. Felder recieved a bachelor's degree in Chemical Engineering from the City College of New York in 1962 and went on to earn a Ph.D. in Chemincal Engineering from Princeton University in 1966. Felder worked for the Atomic Energy Research Establishment in Harwell, England and the Brookhaven National Laboratory in New York before becoming a member of the Department of Chemical Engineering at North Carolina State University in 1969. Felder is most well-known in the field of chemical engineering for co-authoring the textbook Elementary Principles of Chemical Processes (first published in 1986), which is used as the introductory textbook in chemical engineering courses in most universities in the United States and several around the world. In addition, Felder has authored and co-authored over 200 papers on teaching and education-related topics, as well as numerous papers on chemical engineering. Felder has presented his work at many conferences during the course of his career, and is the recipient of several national awards recognizing his contributions to education. Felder is currently (2008) Hoechst Celanese Professor Emeritus in the Department of Chemical Engineering at NC State.
