Undergraduate students in the School of Engineering follow a common first year curriculum. Students declare a specific engineering major during the second semester of the first-year studies. Undergraduates studying in the Department of Chemical and Biochemical Engineering have the opportunity to pursue co-op educational programs, faculty-led research projects, and gain real world experience with internships and involvement in student chapters of professional organizations.

Curriculum

Chemical Option Class of 2021 and Later
Biochemical Option Class of 2021 and Later
Note regarding Microbiology:

Pre-req override for General Microbiology (01:447:390 & 11:680:390)

The biology requirement for General Microbiology is waived for chemical engineering students who have completed Organic Chemistry I & II, and Biological Foundations (155:210). Dr. Nina Shapley grants pre-req override to CBE students taking General Microbiology. Please contact him for pre-req override.

For Biochem Option students: 11:680:390 (SAS) is equivalent to 01:447:390 (SEBS), so either course counts toward the Biochem Option requirement.
