Technical Electives
2014-2015 Academic Year
To fulfill your departmental requirements, you must take 10 credits of approved technical
electives. With these 10 credits, you must take:
• A minimum of three credits from the chemical engineering list (Traditional Chemistry
Option).
-------------------------------------------------OR---------------------------------------------------------• A minimum of two credits from the chemical engineering list (Applied Chemistry
Option).
Also, the following restriction applies:
• A maximum of four credits may be used from the Math, Science, and Applied
Business (MSAB) list. Students are not required to take courses from the MSAB list.
Note that many of the courses listed below are not offered every semester and most have
prerequisites. A “*” indicates courses that do not require additional prerequisites other
than classes ChE majors must already take. It is best to plan out your technical electives ahead
of time.

Additional higher-level engineering, mathematics, science or applied business course may be approved
by the CM advisor or CM department chair on a case-by-case basis. Courses that are on the general
education list are not approved for technical electives. Courses used as a chemical engineering or
engineering elective must be an ABET engineering course.
1
A maximum of 6 credits may be counted as chemical engineering, engineering, or technical electives.
Registration is restricted. Will need special permission to take. See Banweb for more information.
3
A maximum of 4 credits of co-op may be counted as technical elective credit.
4
Difficult to fit into the standard CM schedule at this time.
