APPROVED Biomolecular TECHNICAL ELECTIVES
For the degree B.S. in Chemical Engineering
with Concentration in Biomolecular Engineering
Academic Year 2008-2009
At least 18 hours must be selected from this departmentally approved list, satisfying these distribution requirements:
- 9 hours must be from Category A
- 6 hours must be from Category B
- One course must be IE 300 or STAT 400. If STAT 400 (4 credit hours) is chosen instead of IE 300 (3 credit hours), then 1 credit hour of technical elective credit will be given towards the Category B Biomolecular Technical Electives requirement.
A maximum of 3 hours from Category A may be undergraduate research credit. A maximum of 9 total hours of undergraduate research may be counted toward Technical Elective credit.
Those courses approved as technical electives are listed below. Courses other than those listed will not normally be accepted as technical electives (for exceptions, please see Notes below.) Any exceptions must be approved by the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering. A student requesting an exception must submit a petition to the Department. Go to 209 RAL to obtain a petition form, fill it out, have your advisor sign it, and submit it.

to elective credit).
NOTES:
- Courses listed on the previous lists of approved technical electives but not on this list will be
accepted if they were taken during or before the semester for which the older list was marked effective.
- Courses such as "Special Topics in...", "Individual Study", "Honors
Project",
etc. are not included in the list above. However, such courses may be
accepted as technical electives if the student can demonstrate that the
topic of the course or project in question is in an area of engineering
science suitable for a student in chemical engineering.
