Sample A.B./B.E. Program: Chemical Engineering
Students interested in chemical engineering have two options:
- chemical processes and applications
- fluid and thermal sciences
The sample A.B. program below focuses on fundamentals; the sample B.E. programs offer 2 directions for chemical engineering.
Faculty advisors: Professors Griswold, Helble, Lynd
Sample A.B. Engineering Sciences Major
Common Core (3 courses)
Distributive Core (2 courses)
Gateway (3 courses)
- ENGS 34: Fluid Dynamics
- ENGS 35: Biotechnology and Biochemical Engineering
- ENGS 36: Chemical Engineering
Electives (2 courses)
