Aims and Objectives
The European Committee for the Use of Computers in Chemical Engineering Education - EURECHA - was formed in 1983 to enable software for teaching and methods of computer aided teaching to be exchanged between universities in Europe.
Its aims remain that of mutual assistance between universities at the teaching level, particularly those universities specialising in computer methods to assist those where computer specialisation is not to hand. EURECHA has currently a 12-member executive committee that considers projects which fit in the aims and objectives of the organisation.
EURECHA has decided to focus on the following areas: Educational software, Tutorial case studies, Short courses/workshops, Educational sessions at Escape meetings and Questionnaires. One member of the executive committee is responsible for each of these activities.
As members of EURECHA, the department/institution can obtain software at a specially reduced price, reports of tutorial case studies free of charge, attend short courses/workshops at a reduced price and obtain lecture notes and other computer related educational material free of charge. Also, members of EURECHA can get discount from CACHE products.
