Technical Electives for Chemical Engineering

ChE majors must take 4 Technical Electives. At least 2 must be in Engineering.

Students are allowed to count ONE Independent Study towards their required Tech Electives. However, if you are in the departmental honors program, you will need to take both ChE 499Y & ChE 499T during your senior year & these will both count towards your Engineering Technical Elective.

Approved Engineering Tech Electives

  • Any 3 or 4 credit course at the 200-level or above in BME, ChE, ECE, MIE, CEE, or POLYMER
  • SCH-MGMT 593, SCH-MGMT 597* 

Exceptions: BME 210, CEE 250, CEE 357, MIE 230, MIE 340, and MIE 354

Note: *Students completing the Engineering Management Minor should note that the EMM foundation courses are all prerequisites of the Capstone Course, SCH-MGMT 597(Fall only). Please speak with an ISOM advisor when making course plans.
