The following requirements are in addition to, or further elaborate upon, those requirements outlined in The Graduate School Policy Guide.

BS/MS

• Thermodynamics (CHEM_ENG 211-0 Thermodynamics preferred, or equivalent)
• Fluid mechanics (CHEM_ENG 321-0 Fluid Mechanics or equivalent)
• Heat or mass transfer (CHEM_ENG 322-0 Heat Transfer or CHEM_ENG 323-0 Mass Transfer, or equivalent)
• Kinetics/reaction engineering (CHEM_ENG 307-0 Kinetics and Reactor Engineering)

MS Requirements

Total Units Required for the Master's Degree: 10

• The degree requirements are the same as "Coursework Master's" or "Thesis Master's" as outlined for the MS program.
