5. Changes to the curriculum
New UG Academic Coordinator Leah Bracey
EN Applied Physical Chemistry is
not an engineering course (not “E”) any more
but a science course (“N”), counts as an advanced chem/bio elective,
offered in Spring
Three options for advanced chem/bio labs:
AS Phys Chem Instrumentation I Lab,
AS Biochemistry Lab, or AS PEBL
NEW

6. Changes to the curriculum
EN Kinetics and EN Separations are becoming 4-credit courses with recitations.
Senior lab changes name to
Projects in Chemical Engineering Unit Operations with Experiments (313) or
Projects in ChemBE Unit Operations with Experiments (313)
will be 6 credits in Fall 2018 but 4 credits starting Fall 2019
No more summer lab option, only offered in the fall

8. Courses Offered in Multiple Semesters
Fall and Spring:

19. Juniors: Some information
Registration starts on Monday April 9 for rising seniors
EN Senior lab is offered in the summer, registration has started
Or consider the Denmark program this summer
Keep you credit load reasonable to allow time for preparations for the next step

20. Juniors: Getting ready for Graduation
We audit your checklists three times during senior year and send you two updates; contact us only if you don’t get any feedback
Talk to your advisor before making any changes
Fill out the research form (on UG ChemBE website) to count your research credits only if you need them (next slide)
Fill out the waiver forms we suggest with your advisor and return them to Ms. Bracey’s mailbox
Registration for graduation coming next year (winter, spring or summer)
No need to apply for the track, it will not be listed on your diploma, only on audit form
Department honors are automatic, do not “apply”
You can walk in May 2019 even if you take one course in summer 19

21. Research Credits
You can count up to 4 credits of research as engineering electives and track electives.
If you work in a ChemBE lab sign up for (fall) or (spring)
4 credits will automatically count towards engineering elective and track.
If you work in another engineering lab sign up under Undergraduate Group Research 5xx.511 (fall) or 5xx.512 (spring)
Four credits will automatically count towards engineering elective and the matching track.
If you work outside the engineering school, sign up for (fall) or (spring) through your advisor.
To count your credits as Eng. electives, fill out the Research Credit Elective Request form on ChemBE website for approval.

22. Juniors: what comes next?
Large companies recruit in September-November; have your resume ready
Work with the career office
Check the HCCN website
Applications for graduate school in December-January
Plan to take the GRE
Do not wait too long to ask for letters of recommendation
Graduate school applicants, consider some higher level courses (APC? Math? Thermo? Transport?). Use Matlab!
Pre-med applicants, work with the pre-professional office

23. Questions? Please contact Ms. Kailey Dille or see
BS/MS: Overview
Two options: Research (thesis) and Course-based
Research: 6 courses (4 ChemBEs) and research
Work in a ChemBE lab under the supervision of an advisor.
We can help you find an advisor.
Course-based: 10 courses (6 ChemBEs)
Both programs: 2 courses can count toward both B.S. and M.S.E. but they need to be at the 600-level (very few exceptions)
Additional 600-level courses may only count towards one degree.
GPA: generally a minimum of a 3.0 (few exceptions)
NO GRE required and only one recommendation letter (Advisor)
You can start research early
Students from the program tend to place well: Intel, Accenture, Nasa, Genentech, Biotech industry, Med School, Grad School.
