Welcome to Chemical Engineering! The purpose of this guide is to aid the undergraduate student in following registration procedures and completing the requirements for the baccalaureate degree in Chemical Engineering. This publication does not supersede any statements made by the University Engineering Bulletin, Faculty Documents, Office of the Dean of Engineering or Office of the Registrar.

Your academic advisor will assist you as much as possible with registration and fulfillment of the graduation requirements for the BSChE degree. However the final responsibility for completing the graduation requirements rests with the individual student. This guide and the Schedule of Classes published each semester should provide adequate information to the student for routine registration. In addition to the Plan of Study guides that are included in this booklet, the University Regulations Reference Book may be useful for finding information regarding the academic calendar, transfer of credits, scholastic standing, changing a grade, etc.

The Purdue Chemical Engineer Chemical Engineers take chemistry and math into the world around us. They are creative problem solvers who apply scientific knowledge and technical expertise to meet a worldwide demand for useful materials at a reasonable cost and in the safest manner possible. Chemical Engineers are involved in creating new medicines, new materials, and new processes that improve the quality of life across the globe, protect the environment, and conserve our natural resources. They work in research, design, development, production, technical sales, and management. Some are consultants, computer system designers, doctors, or lawyers focusing on patent or environmental law. Chemical Engineers are responsible for the basic necessities in life that many of us take for granted. Because of the Chemical Engineer's unique background, Chemical Engineering is one of the broadest fields in the science-technical area. A background in chemical engineering offers a wide variety of career options. The Purdue Chemical Engineering Curriculum builds on the basic sciences and other branches of engineering. Elective programs developed by the student with his or her advisor can create options in such areas as applied chemistry, biochemical engineering, biomedical engineering, chemical reaction engineering, chemical processing, energy and natural resources processing, environmental engineering, food processing, geoscience, materials science, nuclear engineering, pharmaceutical engineering, pre-law, pre-medicine, process control, production and sales, and systems engineering

The Undergraduate Office The Undergraduate Office is located in FRNY 1057 and houses Karissa Raderstorf, Associate Director of Undergraduate Programs and Sandy Hendryx, Undergraduate Office Secretary. This office will serve as one of your most used resources during your time at Purdue. The Undergrad Office has an open door policy and students are welcome to stop in, send email, or schedule an appointment to meet with Karissa using the following guidelines

• Walk-Ins: Students are welcome to walk-in for quick questions/requests. Please understand that while Karissa’s job duties include serving as Academic Advisor, they are not limited to such. She is not always available and may be involved in fulfilling other job responsibilities. If you walk-in, there is a chance she may not be available at that moment, but Sandy can provide schedule information and suggest a time to return. NOTE: During registration, student appointments are scheduled every 10 minutes leaving very little time for walk-ins and discussion of advising topics outside of registration. If you have an issue you need to discuss, it’s better to do so outside of that time frame (described in the Registration section that follows)

• Appointments: Students are welcome to schedule appointments to meet with Karissa at a specific time to discuss academic advising issues if that is more convenient. NOTE: During registration, appointments are only available for registration purposes. If students have other academic issues to discuss, they should plan those meetings outside of the registration time frame (described in the Registration sections that follow)

• Email Advising: Emails are welcomed as long as the question/issue is concise and only requires a short response. If you have extensive questions, please use the walk-in or appointment options described above. .

Academic Advising Karissa serves as Academic Advisor to all undergraduate students in the School of Chemical Engineering. Reasons a student might consult with an advisor include, but are not limited to:

• questions about their degree program, dual degree plans, minors, concentrations, plans of study, etc

• questions about planning for study abroad • personal issues interfering with academic performance • academic deficiency issues – poor performance in ChE • Registration • Questions about other resources on campus

Students should consider their academic advisor as a front line resource throughout their undergraduate education. Purdue’s Advising website states: The mission of undergraduate advising at Purdue University is to partner with students, faculty, staff, departments, and administration to empower students to develop and implement an individualized plan for academic success, personal and career development, while integrating learning and enrichment within the University and community, as well as assisting students in understanding the nature, purpose, and value of higher education. In that capacity, Karissa’s responsibilities include the following:

• Provide students with correct, up-to-date information about University, college/school, and departmental graduation requirements for their selected degree programs.

• Help students become aware of their academic and personal needs and how these needs affect their educational and career goals.

• Help students develop courses of study, including electives, which reflect their academic background, personal situation, and educational goals.

• Inform students about alternatives, limitations, program changes, and the consequences of academic decisions.

• Serve as a mentor to foster students' academic progress. • Be available to students through office hours, e-mail, and appointment times. • Use campus and community resources to advise students. • Encourage students to review their progress toward degree completion to assure early detection

of problems. As a student, you are expected to fulfill the following responsibilities in the advising process:

• Know your advisor. • Accept responsibility for your academic choices. • Seek help from your advisor when appropriate. • Know basic University, school, and departmental graduation requirements for your major or

minor well enough to plan your own progress toward degree completion. • Develop social, academic, and career goals and examine how these goals will affect your life and

future plans. • Keep up-to-date on academic policies, procedures, and requirements by reviewing the BSChE

curriculum requirements, schedule of classes, University Regulations, etc. • Maintain personal copies of tentative degree plans, progress reports, and transfer credit

evaluations until graduation. • Obtain prior approval for transfer credits.

- 7 -

• Use the Center for Career Opportunities and other resources in your college/school or department to investigate long-range career goals, career opportunities, and the selection of a major or minor.

Registration Students are required to meet with an advisor each semester to discuss their registration for the following semester. Purdue has a required advising system in which students cannot access their registration until they have met with their advisor and received a PIN. This is a 6 digit number that is randomly assigned each semester. Students register at Purdue twice per year. Registration for summer sessions and fall semester begins in March while registration for the spring semester begins in October. You will receive e-mail from the Undergrad Office prior to these times with information concerning how to register. The basic process is as follows:

• Students will receive a communication informing of when registration begins and when appointments can be made. Purdue uses priority registration based on students’ classification in MyPurdue and thus those with senior status register first followed by juniors, etc.

• Students will make an appointment to meet with Karissa.

• Upon scheduling the appointment, students will receive a carbon copy form (form 23A) that must be completed - with the list of courses the students intends to enroll in - prior to arrival for the registration appointment.

• Students must meet with Karissa Raderstorf prior to registration each semester in order to receive

the registration PIN needed to get into the system and add courses.

• Students are expected to come prepared for registration. Although Karissa is available to assist with registration and fulfillment of graduation requirements, the final responsibility for completing graduation requirements rests with the individual student.

• While it is possible to register for courses up to the week classes begin each semester, it is not

wise to wait. Classes fill very quickly. Registration is considered to last approximately 4 weeks. It is imperative that students register during their assigned week of each registration period.

Appendix document 6 is an audit form kept in each student’s file to continuously track progress toward graduation. Students are strongly encouraged to track their progress on this form on their own as well.

Electives (33 cr)

To further increase the breadth of knowledge, students are required to complete several credit hours of electives from various selected subject areas. Many of the rules associated with the required electives are mandated by ABET, the Accrediting Board for Engineering and Technology. It’s important to understand that the elective courses that appear on all approved lists have been selected by the faculty based on the course content without regard to the frequency with which the courses are offered. The lists are inclusive of all active courses at Purdue that meet the faculty standards for that particular elective, but many of the courses are not offered regularly. Some are offered every semester,

- 9 -

some only once a year; some are offered every two years; while some have not been offered in a while. The courses remain in the Purdue catalog as active assuming they may be offered again at some point. This means that lists of approved electives, like the ones in this document, and the online course catalog are not indicative of what is going to be available in a given semester. You will need to reference the Schedule of Classes each semester to determine which electives are being offered at a given time.

Chemical Engineering Electives (3cr)

In addition to the required Chemical Engineering courses, students must choose 3 additional credit hours of Chemical Engineering courses. A list of eligible courses as determined by the faculty is included below. Chemical Engineering Electives MUST be selected from this list.

Chemical Engineering Electives (6 cr hrs required) CHE 33000 Principles of Molecular Engineering CHE 46300 Applications of ChE Principles CHE 41100* Independent Research CHE 49700/59700 course title and content vary CHE 41200* Design Research Project CHE 49800* Honors Research in ChE CHE 44200 Chemistry and Engr of High Polymers ABE 58000 Process Engr of Renewable Resources CHE 46100 Biomedical Engineering

Any CHE 500-level course

Note that the department regularly offers multiple CHE 59700 and/or 49700 courses. This is because 49700 and 59700 are temporary course numbers assigned to newer courses that have not been adopted into the course catalog as permanent offerings. When referencing the Schedule of Classes, you will be able to identify the different courses by their titles.

IMPORTANT: *6 credits total research (CHE 41100, 41200, 49800, and 49900) apply toward graduation

3 credits towards ChE elective and 3 credits towards an ENGR elective

Students can only establish credit in ABE 58000 OR CHE 52500, not both.

Students can only establish credit in CHE 33000 or MSE 23000, not both

Engineering Electives (6cr)

While students may elect to take courses from Chemical Engineering to fulfill this requirement, the approved courses come from several engineering disciplines to provide students the opportunity to broaden their understanding of engineering concepts. A list of eligible courses as determined by the faculty is included below. Engineering Electives MUST be selected from this list.

General Education Electives (18 cr)

These are courses in the humanities and social sciences, but not engineering or hard science. Below is a set of detailed rules regarding gen-ed courses. (It is the common rule set across engineering at Purdue.) In addition, there is a list of courses available (see Appendix document 1 ) that all schools of engineering have agreed to accept as Gen. Eds. You are not limited to this list, but you may find it helpful to reference. I rely completely on the below Gen Ed rules to decide what courses will be ok. However, if you are planning to CODO to another Engineering School, you may wish to stick to a list which is, by design, "Approved for all Schools of Engineering." Note, that the rules govern not just the individual courses you take, but the collection of all the courses. In the end, you must verify that the set of all the courses you take do satisfy the rules.

College of Engineering General Education Rules

From: EFD 55-98, Adopted by Engineering Faculty Vote, April 26, 2001

Humanities and social sciences courses encompass the breadth of human experience and culture, both past and present, including individual behavior, social and political structures, aesthetic values, modes and dynamics of communication, philosophical and ethical thought, and cognitive processes. Such courses are an integral part of all engineering curricula which complements technical and professional content by enabling engineering students to appreciate the world in which they live and work, and to contribute as both educated members of society and aware, ethical professionals. Humanities and social sciences courses also provide a framework for rational inquiry, critical evaluation, judgment and decisions when dealing with issues that are non-quantifiable, ambiguous, or controversial. Of equal importance, they offer opportunities for engineering students to develop interests and insights that guide, enrich and expand their perceptions of the world they live in.

To these ends, all B.S. students in the Schools of Engineering are required to complete a general education program of 18 credit hours in approved humanities and social sciences electives. Students are strongly encouraged to develop a coherent general education plan, and distribute their general education credits throughout their academic program. The collection of courses used to fulfill this requirement must meet all of the following conditions:

1. Courses must be drawn from those offered by the departments of Agricultural Economics, Audiology and Speech Sciences, Child Development and Family Studies, Communication, Economics, English, Foreign Languages and Literatures, History, Interdisciplinary Studies, Philosophy, Political Sciences, Psychological Sciences, Sociology and Anthropology, Visual and Performing Arts. Any course offered by these departments is allowable, provided that it is open to students in the offering department and is not focused primarily on professional training, natural science or mathematics.

2. In order to ensure sufficient exposure to topics dealing with global, societal and contemporary issues, at least 9 credit hours must be drawn from courses offered by the departments of Agricultural Economics, Economics, Communication, Foreign Languages and Literatures, History, Interdisciplinary Studies, Philosophy, Political Sciences, Psychological Sciences, or Sociology and Anthropology.

3. At least 6 of the credit hours must be taken in the same department and a maximum of 12 credit hours may be taken in any one department.

4. At least 6 of the credit hours must come from courses at the 300-level or above, or from courses with a required prerequisite in the same department.

5. If a foreign language course is used to satisfy part of the requirements, the student must take at least 6 credit hours of the same language. Credit is not allowed for language courses in the student’s native tongue(s), although literature, culture, drama and related courses are allowed.

6. Credit by examination or granted credit (e.g., advanced placement credit), conditioned solely at the discretion of the awarding department, can be used to satisfy any part of the requirement.

7. No course may be counted more than once toward the requirement, even if the offering department allows it to be repeated for credit.

8. Individual schools may impose requirements in addition to those previously stated, but may not require a specific course as part of the general education program.

- 12 -

Critical Path The following outlines the critical path for graduation. It is imperative that these courses be taken by the recommended semester in order to graduate in four years. Given the layout of pre-requisites and certain courses only being offered once per year, it is likely that if you vary from this path, graduation will require a full extra year.

Semester 3 or 4 Semester 5 Semester 6 Semester 7 Semester 8

CHE 20500* CHE 37700 CHE 32000 CHE 30600 CHE 43500 MA 26200 MA 30300 (spring only) (fall only) CHE 45000

CHE 37800 CHE 45600 (spring only) (fall only) CHE 42000 (fall only)

* It is strongly recommended that you take CHE 20500 in semester 3. CHE 20500 is a prerequisite to all other Chemical Engineering courses.

Minors Many departments at Purdue offer a "minor." If you complete their requirements, your transcript will show that you have earned a "BSChE with a minor in X.". All such minors will require some extra work on your part. There is no confirmed inclusive list of all minors at Purdue, but the following websites are helpful resources. https://engineering.purdue.edu/ME/Academics/Undergraduate/minors.html http://www.science.purdue.edu/index.php/for-current-students/1077-minors http://www.cla.purdue.edu/academics/programs/minors/ If you wish to pursue a minor you should discuss your plans with Karissa during your regular advising appointment and she can add your minor to your academic record. All final transcripts of students requesting minors are reviewed by the offering departments and either approved or denied. There is generally no formal mechanism to get prior approval with a very few exceptions. Some departments, like CS, ECE, MGMT and ECON, require that you get written permission to enroll in their courses.

Concentrations As a Chemical Engineering major, you can elect to add one (or more if time allows) of the following concentrations to your degree: Biological Engineering, Pharmaceutical Engineering, Energy and the Environment, and Materials and Polymers. It will post to your transcript indicating that you completed a concentration in the title area. See Appendix document 5 for detailed information regarding concentration requirements.

Regulations in the School of Chemical Engineering Curriculum Regulations

o Students must earn at least a “C” or better in CHE 20500 to continue to enroll in subsequent CHE courses.

o Students are only permitted to register for a required Chemical Engineering course twice. Enrolling in and dropping a course after classes begin is considered one enrollment. If you do not complete it successfully the second time, you will not be allowed to retake it at Purdue. (Note: CHE 20500 cannot be retaken at another university. For other courses, reference transfer credit policies)

o To graduate with a BSChE Degree, a student must have at least a 2.00 overall GPA and

at least a 2.00 major GPA (all CHE courses).

The College of Science has a very useful GPA calculator that can be used to determine your major GPA. http://www.science.purdue.edu/index.php/current-students/421-semestergraduation-index-calculator

Pre and Co-req Policy If you fail a course that is the prerequisite for another Chemical Engineering course, but have completed all the required work and taken all exams in the prerequisite course, you may seek permission of the instructor to take the next course while retaking the failed course. This regulation does NOT apply in the case of CHE 20500. You MUST receive a “C” or higher in 20500 in order to enroll in any other CHE courses. There are no exceptions to this policy.

Transfer of ChE Required or Elective Courses Transfer of CHE courses

The faculty assumes that students plan on taking all Chemical Engineering courses at Purdue. If extenuating circumstances arise, and a Chemical Engineering course must be taken at another university, the following regulations apply:

• Permission to take the substitute course must be received from the Undergraduate Committee

before the course is taken.

• The Chemical Engineering department at which the course is taken must be accredited.

• The course must be judged equivalent to the course it is replacing. This judgment will normally be made by an instructor of the corresponding Purdue course; therefore, you must provide a detailed course outline and description (syllabus).

• You must demonstrate that significant hardship would result if the course had to be taken at

Purdue.

Transfer of elective courses:

Elective courses are more flexibly transferred and applied toward graduation requirements. If you want to take an elective course outside of Purdue, please use the Purdue Transfer Credit Database online database (https://selfservice.mypurdue.purdue.edu/prod/bzwtxcrd.p_select_info) to determine if/how Purdue will accept that credit. It’s a simpler process if the course is accepted as an equivalent to a Purdue course, however, if it is listed as undistributed credit (1XXXX, 2XXXX, etc.), it’s still possible the course can be used to fulfill a degree requirement. Print the database results and submit to Karissa for final approval.

Special Course Regulations CHE Laboratory courses (CHE 34800, 37700, 37800, 43500) may not be added to a schedule after the first day of the lab. Seminar courses (CHE 20000, 30000, 40000) must be taken by all students unless the student is taking another course which directly conflicts with the seminar. Permission must be obtained before enrolling in a course with a direct conflict. Remedial courses such as PHYS 14900, MA 15900, and CHM 11100 cannot be used to satisfy the graduation requirements. CHE 41100, 41200 research projects are courses for students of junior or senior standing. Permission of the instructor is required. A maximum of six hours of research can be used to meet elective requirements. Three hours can apply toward CHE electives, the other three will apply toward ENGR or TECH electives. Co-Op Courses

https://selfservice.mypurdue.purdue.edu/prod/bzwtxcrd.p_select_info�

Students participating in one of the Purdue Co-Op programs must register for the designated zero credit course when away from campus on a work session. The specific sequence of course numbers depends on which certificate program is followed. You will get instructions when you first sign up. Each Co-Op program has an approved plan of study. CHE 40100 (the final Co-Op seminar ) may be used as a technical or engineering elective, but not a Chemical Engineering elective. Internship Courses CHE 29699 and 39699 are the analogous courses that students can register for (with approval) while on work assignment outside a formal co-op arrangement – generally termed an internship. The purpose of this registration is to make you officially, and legally, a student, even though you are off campus. Student Visa holders (but not US citizens) will need to register for one of these courses even for summer jobs to comply with INS rules. If you have been offered an internship and need to register for one of these courses, your internship must be approved by Mrs. Gabriela Nagy. See Karissa for further instructions. Graduate Credit Some 500 or 600 level classes you take but do not use in the BS plan of study can be used for graduate credit. You need to be classified as a 7 or 8, and to get a grade of B or better. (See University Regulations). You must have the instructor fill out the authorization form during the semester you take the class. The form is available in the Undergraduate Office – FRNY 1057. Karissa will review your transcripts after you graduate, at which point the course can be authorized for grad credit.

Pass/No-Pass Option

The P/N option is allowed for General Education and Free Electives only. All other courses must be taken for a grade. This option provides an opportunity for students to broaden their educational experience by taking advanced courses with minimal concern for grades earned due to the lack of necessary prerequisite material. The first three of the six General Education courses should be taken for a grade. Students interested in Graduate School, Med School, Law School, etc. should not enroll in a course P/N.

Retaking Courses Students can repeat courses in which they do not feel they earned an acceptable grade. Per the previously stated policy, students may only enroll in CHE courses twice. All other courses may be enrolled in up to three times per university policy.

When a course is retaken at Purdue, the old grade and credit are automatically excluded from the graduation index (overall GPA), and the new grade is calculated in.

WARNING: University regulation dictates that the most recent grade and credit in a course ALWAYS replace the previous grade and credit – there is no consideration for which grade is higher. Please discuss any plans to retake a course with Karissa during your registration meeting.

If an equivalent course is completed at another university, the transfer credit will satisfy the graduation requirement, but will NOT replace the original grade in the GPA. See section 3 for instructions for seeking approval for transfer courses.

Special Exceptions to Regulations The prerequisite, co-requisite and graduation requirements have been carefully developed to ensure that graduates receive a strong education in Chemical Engineering. Some of these requirements are set by the organization which accredits our program. However, undue hardship may occur if the rules are strictly enforced without regard for individual situations. Thus, the Undergraduate Committee has the power to make exceptions on an individual basis when petitioned by a student. Exceptions are made by weighing the degree of hardship which would be caused versus the educational deficiencies involved in allowing the exception. Exceptions requested merely for the sake of convenience are not granted. To exercise your right to petition for an exception, proceed as follows:

1. Discuss the exception with your Academic Advisor – Karissa Raderstorf. Make sure the exception is necessary.

2. Write a letter to the committee and request the exception. Explain, in detail, what hardship will be caused if the exception is not granted and what you will do to make up for any deficiencies caused. Remember this is an important business letter. Write it carefully and proofread it.

3. Submit your letter to Karissa in FRNY 1057

4. Students have the right to attend the Undergraduate Committee Meeting to present their case in

person. When the student is not present, Karissa presents on behalf of the student.
