 Historical Note

Richard 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.
