SCHOOL OF CHEMICAL ENGINEERING
APPLICATION TO SUBSTITUTE A COURSE
This form should be completed when you want to substitute a course in your program ie. an
elective other than that what is already approved OR another course other than GEN* to
include as part of your General Education
Student Name: ________________________________
Student Number: ______________________________
Program: ____________________________________
Course/s you wish to use as substitute: _________________________________________
Ie. MARK1012
Course/s you wish this course/s to be allocated to: ________________________________
Ie. General Education, Advanced Breadth Elective, Advanced Depth Elective.
When applying to substitute a professional elective, please indicate how the proposed substitute meets the
IChemE requirements for Advanced Depth or Advanced Breadth as appropriate. Use the space provided on page 2
of the form for this purpose.
Advanced Breadth electives
These are courses that expose students to topics additional to those that would normally be considered as core
chemical engineering but that are valuable to further developing their chemical engineering formation.
IChemE has published a Technical Roadmap for 21st Century Chemical Engineering. This broad ranging publication
highlights six issue areas of critical global importance where chemical engineers will have enormous influence:
Health, Safety, Environment
Sustainable Technology
Energy
Food and Drink
Water
Biosystems
The exposure of students to topics in chemical engineering relating to these issue areas is welcomed. Provision of
such course modules can provide excellent opportunity for advanced breadth of chemical engineering study.

Advanced Depth electives
These are courses that provide students with a deeper penetration of knowledge and understanding than has
previously been acquired from a first exposure to a topic earlier in the degree programme, taught to Bachelor
Level standard. Such advanced courses must therefore have clearly distinguishable pre-requisites of taught study
from earlier in the curriculum plan.
eg Advanced Process Control would be a course having a Bachelor level Process Control course as a pre-requisite
