Tom Greenbowe was one of the first students to graduate from the chemical educationprogram at Purdue, receiving his Ph.D. in 1983 � two years after the division was formally created. Although Dudley Herron was his major professor, Tom and I published several papers based on work we did while he was in the Department and created what has become the Purdue University Lecture Demonstration Handbook, which is now in its 9th edition. Tom's dissertation was the first in a series that dealt with problem solving in chemistry; a stream that was continued by 14 of my graduate students. This paper will examine how our work on problem solving in chemistry has evolved over the course of 30 years since Tom Greenbowe graduated.
