Once the student and advisor have discussed the upcoming semester,students will have access to the Course Registration Form (CRF) via Scheduling Assistant to confirm enrollmentin the courses they selected for the following term. Students must submit the CRF prior to the university deadlineto receive a schedule during the Pre-Registration/Batch process. During open registration, students may adjusttheir schedules using their registration PIN provided by their ChE Advisor.Find more information at Pre-Registration FAQ’s.-8-

BS DEGREE OUTLINEThe degree is comprised of two main fields; Chemical Engineering major and Other Departmental Courses, withthe latter entailing three sub-areas. The official degree plans for each catalog term is on the University Catalog.Degree requirements and total credits for each degree field coincide with student’s listed catalog term.Chemical Engineering Major Core 2018 FALL or PRIOR: 41-cr in the major for students admitted or entered with these catalog terms2019 FALL and AFTER: 46-cr in the major for students admitted or entered with these catalog termso Why a credit variance? The 5-cr difference results from CHE 20000 and CHE 30000 now each 1cr vs. 0-cr (prior to 2019) and addition the Chemical Engineering Selective (3-cr) into theNote: CHE 49700 and 59700 are temporary numbers assigned to newer material offerings and can meetChemical Engineering Selective dependent on the content of the course (i.e. short Study Abroad does not)Other Departmental Course RequirementsTo further one’s academic breadth, beyond their major technical study, these requirements provide students with aholistic education with a variation of subjects in providing foundational knowledge support for both majorcoursework and future collaboration encounters in industry. These requirements satisfy mandates as set forth bythe University (UCC); School of Chemical Engineering; College of Engineering; and ABET.It is important to understand for selective requirements, the approved courses have been identified based on thecontent and standard by the faculty, without regard to frequency offered. While these lists include active courses,not all are available in a given semester, so always reference “Look Up Classes” for offerings.FYE: First-Year Engineering CoreMUST be successfully completed for T2M and CODO review. CODO’s may be admitted without ENGR13100/13200 coursework completed due to ineligibility to enroll previously as a non-FYE student.Chemical Engineering STEM Core (36-credits) The STEM Core is necessary supplemental coursework for Chemical Engineering understanding.Selective option courses must be from the provided approved linked list to satisfy that requirement.Biology Selective (3-cr)CHM 26100 (3-cr), Organic Chemistry ICHM 26300 (1-cr), Organic Chemistry Laboratory I (registered separately)CHM 26200 (3-cr), Organic Chemistry IICHM 26400 (1-cr), Organic Chemistry Laboratory II (registered separately)CHM 37000 (3-cr), Physical Chemistry**Engineering Selectives (6-cr) See notes below**MA 26100 (4-cr), Multivariate CalculusMath Selectives: Linear Algebra and Differential Equations; there are seven available track optionsMA 26500 (3-cr), MA 26600 (3-cr) the Department of Mathematics recommends this sequenceA variation of accumulated credits is possible dependent on the track opted to followPHYS 24100 (3-cr), Electricity & OpticsTechnical Selective (3-cr)-9-

** Chemical Engineering Selective and Engineering Selectives Policy **A maximum of 6-cr of research (CHE 41100, 41200, 49800, 49900, may apply toward: Chemical Engineering Selective (3-cr) and Engineering Selective (3-cr) ORTechnical Selectives (3-cr)Credit may be established in only one course, due to similarity of material content ABE 58000 or CHE 52500 CHE 33000 or MSE 23000These courses may not count in the Engineering Selective requirement (as listed in mPP) ABE 20100, 21000, 30800, 37000 or IE 23000, 33000 or ME 30900 31500General Education Selectives (18-credits)As a longtime degree staple supporting of general education coursework, this field overlaps with requirementsinstituted in the University Core Curriculum (UCC); BSS, HUM, and STS (3-cr each). These are required of allundergraduates to ensure achieving common academic and foundational goals and must come from the approvedUCC course lists. Additionally, there are General Education and General Education Upper Level requirements (9cr total), from the ChE approved list, satisfying a diverse education as directed by ABET. Behavioral Social Science (BSS)Humanities (HUM)Science, Technology & Society (STS) General Education Selective (3-cr)Gen Ed Upper Level Selectives (6-cr)GENERAL EDUCATION UPPER LEVEL SELECTIVES (6-cr)As of Fall 2019, to ensure cohesiveness and consistency, students must select courses from this approved list tosatisfy the intended degree requirement. The list has been expanded to also include courses from thedepartments of CSR, ENTR, MGMT, OBHR, TLI (for those which follow the requirement definition), as wellas individual options of NUTR 30300 and FS 47000 for a range in choice availabilities.What defines a General Education Upper Level course?A course having a listed prerequisite of the same subject (i.e. PSY 20000; PSY 12000 prereq) or is listed as30000-level and higher, which may or may not have a prerequisite (i.e. HIST 35100).Are there possible exceptions for the requirement?If a course appears to have relevant foundational content, but is not on the list, the student may submit thecourse syllabus and exception form through their Advisor for review by the Undergraduate Committee.- 10 -

Suggested Pathway of Chemical Engineering CoursesThis is considered the critical CHE course path, and, due to the layout of prerequisites and offerings, studentsshould follow this outline, post-successful completion of First Year Engineering (FYE) in one academic year, tograduate in the four-year timeline. CHE 20500 should be successfully completed by fall term of the 2nd year toavoid a heavy course load in the third-year Spring and fourth-year Fall terms. Deviating from this pathway, or notmeeting course grade requirements, may result in an additional year to graduate.FALLCHE 20000CHE 20500FALLCHE 30600CHE 37700FALLCHE 40000CHE 42000CHE 43500CHE 456002nd YearSPRING2nd Year(Fall only) CHE 21100CHE 32000rd3 YearSPRING3rd YearCHE 30000(Spring only)CHE 34800CHE 378004th YearSPRING4th Year(Fall only) CHE 45000(Fall only) CHE Selective(Fall only)CHE 20500 Enrollment & CODO and Transfer Students* ENGR 13100 (prerequisite) must be successfully completed prior to CHE 20500 enrollment* CHE 20500 may be taken concurrently with ENGR 13200, a FYE Core and degree requirement* CHE 20500 is offered Fall and Spring semesters and Summer sessionsDEGREE ENHANCEMENTSWhile the curriculum set forth is challenging and provides a strong foundation in the area of ChemicalEngineering, in preparation to be productive and an asset in the industry, many students seek additionalopportunities to integrate enhancements based on interests or career choice. Listed are ways for students toachieve enrichments within an academic setting along with, or as a substitute, to Co-Op or internship avenues.ResearchWhile research is not required for the degree, it is often pursued for selective degree requirements, and a facet ofeducation bridging theory with application of knowledge from coursework into simulation of “real world” aspectswhile working closely with a faculty mentor. The School of Chemical Engineering has options for research andinnovation allowing students to capitalize on experience and earn degree credit while expanding their perspective,application into products in Chemical Engineering, and enhancing their reporting and communication skill sets inpreparation for industry and achieving the expectations of our graduates. These opportunities are highlyrecommended for those students seeking continued education of Masters and PhD.Chemical Engineering Research, InternalMany School of Chemical Engineering faculty are involved in research for discovery and impact to enhancecontributions to their classroom and labs, industry and world communities. With these objectives, often facultyhave opportunities for undergraduate students to pursue and combine their academics to application of everydayneeds addressed by industry through experiential learning.- 11 -

How to Register: In a professional manner, the student approaches the faculty with whom they wish to workbased on the project or relation of their area of interest. Both parties must agree on involvement (hours/week;meeting frequency; other expectations) and fill out on official form, then student files the form electronically withthe Undergraduate Office by the second Friday of the term doing research (first week of summer). Upon approval,the registration process will be provided at that time. ChE Research/Design ContractChemical Engineering Research, External-RelatedSome Chemical Engineering students secure research with faculty in other campus departments. This is notdiscouraged as the presented experience can offer exposure of application of Chemical Engineering concepts andhow it may be engrained in other fields, such as pharmaceuticals, foods, health, and more. The School ofChemical Engineering supports this notion and our students contributing elsewhere.How to Register: If a student wishes to have their external research credit apply toward their ChE degree, andrecognized as an appropriate CHE course, the student and external faculty must fill out a supplied form indicatingthe content of the research and how it integrates Chemical Engineering concepts. The student must file theapplication electronically with the Undergraduate Office on or before the Friday of the first week of the semesterperforming the research. The application will be reviewed by the faculty of the Undergraduate Committee for adecision in the second week. ChE Research/Design Contract: External Research AdvisorMinorsMany departments campus-wide offer a minor providing knowledge of an area supplemental to the degree, butnot as extensive as the major allowing for completion usually without extending graduation based on start ofstudy. When the minor requirements are successfully completed, as outlined by the offering Department, it isdisplayed on the academic transcript. While not all minors are available to all students, an official list of all activeminors at Purdue is found o

The Purdue Chemical Engineering Curriculum builds on the basic sciences and other branches of engineering. Elective programs developed by the student with his or her advisor can create options in such areas as applied chemistry, biochemical engineering, biomedical engineering, chemical re
