*The ES 2110/2120 sequence can be substituted for PHYS 1210
**Electives -- Chemical Curriculum allows for Elective Concentrations. At least one elective must be CHE.

Notes:

  1. At least one elective must be CHE. The attached sheet provides examples of elective concentration: Petroleum Engineering Option, Chemistry Major, Biomaterials/Polymers Research, Biomedical Engineering (satisfies premed requirements), Biotechnology/Pharmaceuticals, Environmental, International Engineering, Self-directed
  2. A minimum of 48 credit hours must be upper division level.
  3. Cultural Context must meet the following requirements:
    • 1-CH course (Humanities)
    • 1-CS course (Social Sciences )
    • 1-CA course (Arts)
    • with embedded Global Awareness (G) and Cultural Diversity in the US (D) in these courses.
  4. CHEM 4507 (quantum) replaces and can be subsituted by CHEM 4506 (quantum)
  5. CHE 3010 will be moved to the fall semester of the junior year effective AY06, that is , it will be offered in Spring 2005, Fall 2005, Fall 2006, etc.

Department of Chemical and Petroleum Engineering
Concentration Areas
REVISED 04-21-04

  • Petroleum Engineering Option
    PETE 3000 (Introduction to Petroleum Engineering, 3), PETE 4010 (Reservoir Mechanics, 3), PETE/CHE 4060 (Flow through Porous Media, 3), GEOL 4190(Petroleum Geology, 3) or approved elective.
  • Chemistry - Concurrent/Double Chemistry Major (Plan-1BS)
    CHEM 4000 (Seminar, 1) + CHEM 4110 (Introduction to Inorganic Chemistry, 3) + CHEM 4100 (Inorganic Chemistry Lab, 2) + CHEM 4508 (Physical Chemistry II, 3) + CHEM 4530 (Physical Chemistry Lab, 1) + CHEM 4930 (Undergraduate Research, 2) + 3 credits of upper-division Chemistry electives. If the Advisor and Chemistry Department's Undergraduate Studies Committee approve a research plan, CHE 3900 (Undergraduate Research) can substitute for CHEM 4930.
    • Concurrent/Double Chemistry Major (Plan-1BA)
      CHEM 4110 (Introduction to Inorganic Chemistry, 3) + 6 credits of upper-division Chemistry electives including one of the following: CHEM 4100 (Inorganic Chemistry Lab, 2) , CHEM 4230 (Instrumental Methods, 4), or CHEM 4530 (Physical Chemistry Lab, 1).
    • Concurrent Chemistry Minor
      ChE curriculum automatically satisfies the Chemistry Minor requirements.
  • Math - Math Minor
    MATH 2250, (Elementary Linear Algebra, 3) + MATH 2800 (Math Seminar, 2) or MATH 3800 (Putnam Seminar, 2) + programming class (for example, COSC 1010 or COSC 1030 or ES 3070) + two MATH 3000-plus electives (for example, Math 3310 and CHE 5140/MATH 5310).
  • Biomaterials/Polymers Research
    CHE 3990 (Undergraduate Research, 6) + CHE 4160 (Biomedical Engineering - Transport Processes, 3) or approved elective (3) + CHE 4170 (Polymeric Materials Synthesis, 3).
  • Biomedical Engineering (satisfies the premed requirements)
    MOLB 2240 (Medical Microbiology, 5) or MOLB 2210 (General Microbiology, 4) + MOLB 3610 (Principles of Biochemistry, 4) + CHE 4160 (Biomedical Engineering - Transport Processes, 3). Substitutions may be required - students should investigate premed requirements at the medical schools of their choice and meet these requirements.
  • Biotechnology/Pharmaceuticals
    MOLB 3610 (Principles of Biochemistry, 4) + CHE 4160 (Biomedical Engineering - Transport Processes, 3) + other electives, for example, PHCY 4470 (Fundamentals of Pharmacology, 4) and PHCY 6110 (Medicinal and Natural Products Chemistry, 3).
  • Environmental
    MOLB 2210 (General Microbiology, 4) + CE 3400 (Introduction to Environmental Engineering, 3) + CHE 4110 (Air Pollution for Chemical Engineers, 3) + CHE 4160 (Biomedical Engineering - Transport Processes, 3) or approved elective.
  • International Engineering
    15 hrs of a foreign language, which replaces the 9 hrs of the University Studies Program requirements of CA (Cultural Context-Arts)/G (Global Awareness), CH (Cultural Context-Humanities)/D (Diversity in the United States) and CS (Cultural Context-Social Sciences). Hence 15 - 9 = 6 hrs are available for electives. In addition, this option requires a semester abroad at an approved Chemical Engineering program where equivalent Chemical Engineering courses can be taken.
  • Self-directed
    Individual concentration area selected by student and approved by advisor.

Notes:

  • The Petroleum Engineering Option is reflected on the diploma.
  • The other elective-concentration examples will not be reflected on the diplomas, but may be noted on graduates' transcripts, at the College's discretion.
  • The concentration areas and elective examples listed above will evolve with time; concentration areas may be modified, temporarily discontinued, dropped, or added.
