* Students are permitted to take BIO 201 or BIO 305 in lieu of CE 220, however CE 220 is strongly preferred for Chemical Engineering majors. The BIO 201 or BIO 305 option should only be utilized by students transferring into the program with these courses already completed or when they are pursuing a pre-health major that requires BIO 201 or BIO 305.
**Students are permitted to take alternative programming courses
EAS 240 or
CSE 115 in lieu of
EAS 230, however
EAS 230 is strongly preferred for Chemical Engineering majors. The alternative programming courses should only be utilized by students transferring into the program with
EAS 240,
CSE 115, or
EAS 999TRCP (general programming for transfer students) already completed. View our
Computer Programming Requirement website for more information on the programming alternatives and self-study packages.
***Students are permitted to use
PHY 151 and
PHY 152 in lieu of
PHY 158, however
PHY 158 is preferred for engineering majors.
One 200/300/400-level technical elective. Specifically, any course at these levels having one of the following prefixes: EAS, CE, BE, CIE, CSE, EE, ENS, IE, MAE, BIO, CHE, GLY, MTH, MDI, PHY, BCH, BPH, MIC, PGY, PMY, and STA. Some courses with the above prefixes are disallowed because their content overlaps with that of required courses for the BS degree. These are:
BE 202,
BE 305,
BE 308,
BE 309,
BE 310,
CIE 308,
CIE 354,
EAS 305,
EAS 496,
EE 305,
MAE 335,
MAE 336,
MAE 338,
MAE 381,
MAE 431,
CE 496,
CHE 251,
CHE 319,
CHE 320,
CHE 349,
MTH 337,
MTH 411,
MDI 332,
STA 301,
STA 421,
STA 427, and any CE or other course already required for the degree. In some instances, graduate courses may be used as TEs; students should consult with an advisor if considering this option.
Two chemical engineering technical electives. These are 300- or 400-level courses with prefix CE that are not already required for the degree. Additionally, the following courses from Civil, Structural, and Environmental Engineering (CSEE) can be applied to fulfill the CE technical elective requirement:
CIE 334,
CIE 340,
CIE 343,
CIE 441,
CIE 442,
CIE 444. These courses relate to environmental engineering, which is a field of interest in chemical engineering. You must obtain permission from CSEE to enroll in any of these courses.
Students may participate in a given tutorial course (
CE 496,
CE 498, or
CE 499) multiple times. However, one instance only (maximum of 3 credits) of a given tutorial course may be used to satisfy technical elective requirements for the CE degree (2 x CE TE and 200+ TE). Students can participate in two different tutorial courses, e.g.
CE 496 and
CE 498, and both would count toward the CE degree at 3 credits each. Courses graded Pass/Fail (P/F) cannot count toward the CE degree requirements.
