During Engineers Week in Chattanooga, BASF donated $2,000 to provide scholarships to engineering students attending the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga (UTC) and Chattanooga State Community College. Coinciding with Engineers Week, a national annual event that raises awareness about the profession and contributions engineers make to society, BASF’s donation is part of local workforce development efforts to attract local talent into the chemical industry.
BASF’s site in Chattanooga makes high quality polymer dispersions that are used in products people use every day such as adhesives, printing and packaging.
