Chemical Engineering Block Option

Chemical engineering designs chemical reactions and purifications to create better plastics, semiconductors, paints, fuels, fibers, medicines, fertilizers, paper, and all other types of chemicals. The discipline also plays an important role in protecting the environment by inventing cleaner technologies, calculating environmental impacts, and studying the fate of chemicals in the environment.

The ERB faculty advisor recommends that ERB majors with an Chemical Engineering block option take the following set of courses. Students may also create their own course sets based on those listed on the degree plan; however, this course set have been designed to have the fewest number of prerequisites and the best grouping of applicable coursework. 

 

CHE 317  Introduction to Chemical Engineering Analysis Prerequisites: CHE 210, CH 302*, and M408D with a grade of at least 'C' in each.
CHE 353 Transport Phenomena Prerequisites: CHE 317 and M427K with a grade of at least 'C' in each.		CHE 348  Numerical Methods in Chemical Engineering and Problem Solving  Prerequisites: CHE 210, CHE 317, and M427K with a grade of at least 'C'.
CHE 350 Chemical Engineering Materials Prerequisite: CH 353*

*NOTE:	This block option requires CH 302, Principles of Chemistry II, and CH 353, Physical Chemistry, prerequisites which are not built in to the degree. Students must meet all prerequisites set by the College of Engineering.
*NOTE:	Prerequisites can change from semester to semester. Always check the current course schedule for prerequisites.
