BS in Chemical Engineering Required Courses
The following are the required courses in the chemical engineering curriculum; they must all be satisfactorily completed (i.e., with at least a "D" grade) to obtain the Chemical Engineering degree.
Semesters offered (Fall/Spring), credit hours, and pre- and co-requisites are indicated. Prerequisites of a course are other courses you must complete (with a passing grade) before beginning the course; corequisites of a course are courses that you must have completed or will take concurrently, i.e., you take it while taking the course. You must obtain permission from your advisor or from the Director of Undergraduate Studies to take a course for which you do not have appropriate pre- or co-requisites.
A new curriculum involving substantial changes to the degree program was introduced in Fall 2006, and these changes are being phased in as the freshman class entering in 2006 proceeds toward graduation in 2010. Students planning to complete the degree before 2010 (in particular, transfer students) must follow the former degree requirements outlined below.
