Professional School
Our school
employs a Professional School approach to our student's education. The
engineering professional has many of the same responsibilities and
advantages as other professions. In fact, the practice of engineering
has the potential of having more of an impact, both good and bad, on
more people than most other professions. In order to instill upon our
students the importance of practicing the profession of chemical
engineering in the most
ethical and professional manner,
our
curriculum
is divided into a
pre-professional program, typically the freshman and sophomore years,
and the Professional School program. Admission into the upper-level Chemical
Engineering courses of the Professional School program requires a 2.5
GPA and all grades in science, technical, engineering, English and math
courses of "C" or higher. See an advisor for details.
Pre-Medical,
Biomedical/Chemical, and Environmental options
Options emphasize a specialization within the chemical engineering
program. In each option the basic curriculum is the same as the regular
CHE
curriculum; however,
elective courses are structured to focus on an area that will enhance a
particular career path. Environmental protection and resource
conservation, "green engineering," is important to both industry and
government. Medical schools readily accept our premedical graduates. The
Biomedical/Chemical option is designed for students who are interested in a
career in the pharmaceutical industry or in creating devices that help
the body process chemicals. |
