Bachelor of Science as Recommended by the Department of Chemical Engineering

Students planning to follow this curriculum must submit a statement of goals and a coherent program of subjects no later than the spring term of their junior year.

General Institute Requirements (GIRs)

The General Institute Requirements include a Communication Requirement that is integrated into both the HASS Requirement and the requirements of each major; see details below.

Summary of Subject Requirements	Subjects
Science Requirement	6
Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences (HASS) Requirement; at least two of these subjects must be designated as communication-intensive (CI-H) to fulfill the Communication Requirement.	8
Restricted Electives in Science and Technology (REST) Requirement [can be satisfied by 18.03 in the Departmental Program]	2
Laboratory Requirement (12 units) [can be satisfied by 3.010 AND 3.020, 6.2050, 7.002/7.003[J], or 15.301 in the Departmental Program]	1
Total GIR Subjects Required for SB Degree	17

Physical Education Requirement
Swimming requirement, plus four physical education courses for eight points.

Departmental Program

Choose at least two subjects in the major that are designated as communication-intensive (CI-M) to fulfill the Communication Requirement.


Departmental Requirements		Units
5.601	Thermodynamics I	6
10.10	Introduction to Chemical Engineering	12
10.213	Chemical and Biological Engineering Thermodynamics	12
10.301	Fluid Mechanics	12
10.302	Transport Processes	12
18.03	Differential Equations 1	12
Restricted Electives
Students must choose electives that form a coherent plan of study. Students must include two restricted electives selected according to the following lists. 2		102
Select one of the following:
5.310	Laboratory Chemistry
6.2600[J]	Micro/Nano Processing Technology (CI-M)
7.002 & 7.003[J]	Fundamentals of Experimental Molecular Biology and Applied Molecular Biology Laboratory (CI-M)
10.26	Chemical Engineering Projects Laboratory (CI-M)
10.27	Energy Engineering Projects Laboratory (CI-M)
10.28	Chemical-Biological Engineering Laboratory (CI-M)
10.29	Biological Engineering Projects Laboratory (CI-M)
10.467	Polymer Science Laboratory (CI-M)
Select one additional subject from the above list or the following:
6.1800	Computer Systems Engineering (CI-M)
6.2050	Digital Systems Laboratory
6.4590[J]	Foundations of Information Policy (CI-M)
6.4810[J]	Cellular Neurophysiology and Computing
14.05	Intermediate Macroeconomics (CI-M)
15.279	Management Communication for Undergraduates (CI-M)
15.301	People, Teams, and Organizations Laboratory (CI-M)
Units in Major		168
Unrestricted Electives		48
Units in Major That Also Satisfy the GIRs		(24-36)
Total Units Beyond the GIRs Required for SB Degree		180-192

The units for any subject that counts as one of the 17 GIR subjects cannot also be counted as units required beyond the GIRs.


1	18.032 Differential Equations is also an acceptable option.
2	If the student chooses to include a subject from the second list of Restricted Electives (6.1800-15.301), the subject must fit logically within the plan of study.
