AIChE Chemical Engineering Jeopardy Practice Exam

The leadership path in AIChE hinges on selecting a president-elect who will step into the top role in the following year, ensuring a smooth transition with someone already prepared in the organization’s direction and activities. For 2024, the person chosen to be president-elect is Alan E. Nelson, a designation announced by AIChE as the incoming leader for the year ahead. This setup—electing a president-elect in advance—is why this name appears as the correct choice: it reflects the official succession plan of the organization. The other listed individuals are not recorded as the 2024 AIChE president-elect in the society’s election results.
