Chemical Engineering
The minor in chemical engineering is designed to introduce principles of chemical engineering to students majoring in other disciplines. Participation in this minor will help students to understand chemical engineering aspects of industrial processes and enter a graduate program in chemical engineering if they desire.
Students who complete the minor in chemical engineering during their sophomore and junior years open the possibility of taking some chemical engineering electives during their senior years.
The minor in chemical engineering has the following requirements:
| Code | Title | Hours |
|---|---|---|
| CHE 201 | Conservation Principles and Balances | 4 |
| CHE 202 | Basic Chemical Process Calculations | 4 |
| CHE 301 | Fluid Mechanics | 4 |
| CHE 303 | Chemical Engineering Thermodynamics | 4 |
| CHE 304 | Multi-Component Thermodynamics | 4 |
| CHE 320 | Fundamentals of Heat & Mass Transfer | 4 |
| CHE 321 | Applications of Heat & Mass Transfer | 4 |
Completion of a minimum of 12 credit hours of courses with prefix CHE at 300 level or above is required toward the minor. Students interested in the CHE minor should consult the CHE Department Head and receive approval for equivalent courses to be considered.
