Abstract
The chemical industry and the way people work in it have changed dramatically during the past fifty years. This article describes some of these changes from the perspectives of the authors, whose careers span most of the preceding half-century. We describe five illustrative technological developments in the industry and changes we have seen in the industrial research laboratory, and offer viewpoints on how these changes affect the educational needs of students going into industrial careers. Finally, we make some predictions of future trends.
