As a result, the fourth year provides opportunities for in-depth pursuit of technical topics of special interest. A student can choose the three technical electives and the three chemical engineering technical electives to concentrate or minor in a special area. Examples of these concentrations are given below. The early introduction to the discipline enables the student who has made an inappropriate choice to transfer out of the chemical engineering without loss of status. However, it also makes it difficult for students to transfer into the program during the sophomore or junior years.
Admission is competitive and is based on the grade-point index in the required courses as listed.
Departmental Standards T he department has rigorous standards for admission into the courses in the department. These standards have evolved over time and are intended to promote success in the sequential development of the material. In general students must have a minimum grade of C- in all chemical engineering prerequisite courses to qualify for admission to the next course. A minimum grade of C- in MATH 242. Corequisite for CHEG 112 is MATH 243.
