Welcome to Chemical Engineering! The purpose of this guide is toaid our undergraduate students in following registrationprocedures, academic regulations, and understanding therequirements for the baccalaureate degree in Chemical Engineering.While this publication does not supersede any statements presentedin the Purdue University Catalog, faculty documents, Office of theDean of Engineering, or Office of the Registrar, it hopefullyprovides a summary and links to pertinent information in navigatingthe academic journey at Purdue University. Your Academic Advisorwill assist you with registrations, reviewing your academic plan,and fulfillment of graduation requirements for the BSChE degree. Asstated by the University, the final responsibility for completingthe graduation requirements rests with the individual student. Thishandbook guide and the Schedule of Classes published each semestershould provide adequate information to the student for routineregistration. In addition, students have a personal myPurduePlan(mPP), from which to view continuous progress for all academicpursuits, and a Plan of Study accessed with links to the UniversityCatalog throughout this booklet. The University RegulationsReference Book may be useful for finding information regarding theacademic calendar, credit transfer, scholastic standing, changing agrade, etc.

The Purdue Chemical Engineer Chemical Engineers take chemistryand math into the world around us. They are creative problemsolvers who apply scientific knowledge and technical expertise tomeet a worldwide demand for useful materials at a reasonable costand in the safest manner possible. Chemical Engineers are involvedin creating new medicines, new materials, and new processes thatimprove the quality of life across the globe, protect theenvironment, and conserve our natural resources. They work inresearch, design, development, production, technical sales, andmanagement. Some are consultants, computer system designers,doctors, or lawyers focusing on patent or environmental law.Chemical Engineers are responsible for the basic necessities inlife that many of us take for granted. Because of the ChemicalEngineer's unique background, Chemical Engineering is one of thebroadest fields in the science-technical area. A background inchemical engineering offers a wide variety of career options. ThePurdue Chemical Engineering Curriculum builds on the basic sciencesand other branches of engineering. Elective programs developed bythe student with his or her advisor can create options in suchareas as applied chemistry, biochemical engineering, biomedicalengineering, chemical reaction engineering, chemical processing,energy and natural resources processing, environmental engineering,food processing, geoscience, materials science, nuclearengineering, pharmaceutical engineering, pre-law, pre-medicine,process control, production and sales, and systems engineering.

Academic Advising “The mission of undergraduate advising atPurdue University is to partner with students, faculty, staff,departments, and administration to empower students to develop andimplement an individualized plan for academic success, and personaland career development, while integrating learning and enrichmentwithin the University and community, as well as assisting studentsin understanding the nature, purpose, and value of highereducation.” – Purdue University Advising

In the mission of the university, the Davidson School ofChemical Engineering undergraduates are assigned to an AcademicAdvisor who works with the student through many academic relatedmatters. The Advisor is the student’s most utilized front-lineresource throughout their education for reasons such as:

Questions about the degree program, minors, concentrations,plans of study, etc. Study Abroad and how courses may apply towarddegree requirements Personal issues interfering with academicperformance Academic Probation/deficiency issues – poor performancein Chemical Engineering coursework Registration (required by theUniversity) Questions about other resources on campus

In that capacity, students in Chemical Engineering can expecttheir advisor to: Explain degree and major requirements Discussstudent’s academic performance Assist with major exploration andinterpreting

degree requirements Empower student to advocate for themselvesSupport personal concerns and academic issues Provide a safe,inclusive environment Provide detailed knowledge and guidance

about the standards and program(s) they advise Help navigateplan of study and requirements Inform about prerequisites forprogram courses

Assist with long- and short-term goal setting Discuss personaland academic interests Establish a positive working relationshipto

provide a welcoming atmosphere at Purdue Teach how to analyzeacademic information

and make well-informed choices Educate on various policies andprocedures

necessary to navigate the University Inform student of theirresponsibilities in the

advising process Refer to campus resources/services asneeded

Students are expected to fulfill the following responsibilitiesin the advising process: Know your Academic Advisor Communicateabout research, study abroad,

experiential learning goals for timely planning Check@purdue.edu email account daily Explore new and challengingopportunities Develop realistic short- and long-term

educational and career goals Familiarize with campus resources,services Notify your advisor of any academic

BS DEGREE OUTLINE The degree is comprised of two main fields;Chemical Engineering major and Other Departmental Courses, with thelatter entailing three sub-areas. The official degree plans foreach catalog term is on the University Catalog. Degree requirementsand total credits for each degree field coincide with student’slisted catalog term. Chemical Engineering Major Core

• 2018 FALL or PRIOR: 41-cr in the major for students admittedor entered with these catalog terms • 2019 FALL and AFTER: 46-cr inthe major for students admitted or entered with these catalogterms

o Why a credit variance? The 5-cr difference results from CHE20000 and CHE 30000 now each 1-cr vs. 0-cr (prior to 2019) andaddition the Chemical Engineering Selective (3-cr) into the

• Note: CHE 49700 and 59700 are temporary numbers assigned tonewer material offerings and can meet Chemical EngineeringSelective dependent on the content of the course (i.e. short StudyAbroad does not)

Other Departmental Course Requirements To further one’s academicbreadth, beyond their major technical study, these requirementsprovide students with a holistic education with a variation ofsubjects in providing foundational knowledge support for both majorcoursework and future collaboration encounters in industry. Theserequirements satisfy mandates as set forth by the University (UCC);School of Chemical Engineering; College of Engineering; andABET.

It is important to understand for selective requirements, theapproved courses have been identified based on the content andstandard by the faculty, without regard to frequency offered. Whilethese lists include active courses, not all are available in agiven semester, so always reference “Look Up Classes” forofferings.

FYE: First-Year Engineering Core

MUST be successfully completed for T2M and CODO review. CODO’smay be admitted without ENGR 13100/13200 coursework completed dueto ineligibility to enroll previously as a non-FYE student.

Chemical Engineering STEM Core (36-credits)

• The STEM Core is necessary supplemental coursework forChemical Engineering understanding. Selective option courses mustbe from the provided approved linked list to satisfy thatrequirement.

• Biology Selective (3-cr) • CHM 26100 (3-cr), Organic ChemistryI • CHM 26300 (1-cr), Organic Chemistry Laboratory I (registeredseparately) • CHM 26200 (3-cr), Organic Chemistry II • CHM 26400(1-cr), Organic Chemistry Laboratory II (registered separately) •CHM 37000 (3-cr), Physical Chemistry

** Chemical Engineering Selective and Engineering SelectivesPolicy **

A maximum of 6-cr of research (CHE 41100, 41200, 49800, 49900,may apply toward: Chemical Engineering Selective (3-cr) andEngineering Selective (3-cr) OR Engineering Selectives (6-cr)Credit may be established in only one course, due to similarity ofmaterial content ABE 58000 or CHE 52500 CHE 33000 or MSE 23000These courses may not count in the Engineering Selectiverequirement (as listed in mPP) ABE 20100, 21000, 30800, 37000 or IE23000, 33000 or ME 30900 31500

General Education Selectives (18-credits)

As a longtime degree staple supporting of general educationcoursework, this field overlaps with requirements instituted in theUniversity Core Curriculum (UCC); BSS, HUM, and STS (3-cr each).These are required of all undergraduates to ensure achieving commonacademic and foundational goals and must come from the approved UCCcourse lists. Additionally, there are General Education and GeneralEducation Upper Level requirements (9-cr total), from the ChEapproved list, satisfying a diverse education as directed byABET.

• Behavioral Social Science (BSS) • Humanities (HUM) • Science,Technology & Society (STS)

• General Education Selective (3-cr) • Gen Ed Upper LevelSelectives (6-cr)

GENERAL EDUCATION UPPER LEVEL SELECTIVES (6-cr) As of Fall 2019,to ensure cohesiveness and consistency, students must selectcourses from this approved list to satisfy the intended degreerequirement. The list has been expanded to also include coursesfrom the departments of CSR, ENTR, MGMT, OBHR, TLI (for those whichfollow the requirement definition), as well as individual optionsof NUTR 30300 and FS 47000 for a range in choiceavailabilities.

What defines a General Education Upper Level course? A coursehaving a listed prerequisite of the same subject (i.e. PSY 20000;PSY 12000 prereq) or is listed as 30000-level and higher, which mayor may not have a prerequisite (i.e. HIST 35100).

Are there possible exceptions for the requirement? If a courseappears to have relevant foundational content, but is not on thelist, the student may submit the course syllabus and exception formthrough their Advisor for review by the UndergraduateCommittee.

Suggested Pathway of Chemical Engineering Courses This isconsidered the critical CHE course path, and, due to the layout ofprerequisites and offerings, students should follow this outline,post-successful completion of First Year Engineering (FYE) in oneacademic year, to

DEGREE ENHANCEMENTS While the curriculum set forth ischallenging and provides a strong foundation in the area ofChemical Engineering, in preparation to be productive and an assetin the industry, many students seek additional opportunities tointegrate enhancements based on interests or career choice. Listedare ways for students to achieve enrichments within an academicsetting along with, or as a substitute, to Co-Op or internshipavenues.

Research While research is not required for the degree, it isoften pursued for selective degree requirements, and a facet ofeducation bridging theory with application of knowledge fromcoursework into simulation of “real world” aspects while workingclosely with a faculty mentor. The School of Chemical Engineeringhas options for research and innovation allowing students tocapitalize on experience and earn degree credit while expandingtheir perspective, application into products in ChemicalEngineering, and enhancing their reporting and communication skillsets in preparation for industry and achieving the expectations ofour graduates. These opportunities are highly recommended for thosestudents seeking continued education of Masters and PhD.

Chemical Engineering Research, Internal Many School of ChemicalEngineering faculty are involved in research for discovery andimpact to enhance contributions to their classroom and labs,industry and world communities. With these objectives, oftenfaculty have opportunities for undergraduate students to pursue andcombine their academics to application of everyday needs addressedby industry through experiential learning. How to Register: In aprofessional manner, the student approaches the faculty with whomthey wish to work based on the project or relation of their area ofinterest. Both parties must agree on involvement (hours/week;meeting frequency; other expectations) and fill out on officialform, then student files the form electronically with theUndergraduate Office by the second Friday of the term doingresearch (first week of summer). Upon approval, the registrationprocess will be provided at that time.

• ChE Research/Design Contract

Chemical Engineering Research, External-Related

Some Chemical Engineering students secure research with facultyin other campus departments. This is not discouraged as thepresented experience can offer exposure of application of ChemicalEngineering concepts and how it may be engrained in other fields,such as pharmaceuticals, foods, health, and more. The School ofChemical Engineering supports this notion and our studentscontributing elsewhere. How to Register: If a student wishes tohave their external research credit apply toward their ChE degree,and recognized as an appropriate CHE course, the student andexternal faculty must fill out a supplied form indicating thecontent of the research and how it integrates Chemical Engineeringconcepts. The student must file the application electronically withthe Undergraduate Office on or before the Friday of the first weekof the semester performing the research. The application will bereviewed by the faculty of the Undergraduate Committee for adecision in the second week.

Minors Many departments campus-wide offer a minor providingknowledge of an area supplemental to the degree, but not asextensive as the major allowing for completion usually withoutextending graduation based on start of study. When the minorrequirements are successfully completed, as outlined by theoffering Department, it is displayed on the academic transcript.While not all minors are available to all students, an officiallist of all active minors at Purdue is found on the catalogUndergraduate Minors page. Please note additional claims andchanges of requirements as determined by catalog term.

Contact the Department offering the minor for inquiriesregarding requirement specifics. To add a minor, contact yourAdvisor as most do not have an application process, with theseexceptions:

• Computer Science: application and admission process (courseand grade requirement), not guaranteed • ECE: apply in person •MGMT and ECON: registration restriction and prerequisites forupper-level course enrollment

Final audits of deny or completion and approval in awarding theminor is by the offering Department

Concentrations Students may demonstrate a “focus” in one, ormore, of five offered concentrations. Each concentration consistsof 9.0-credits of coursework and is an option to satisfying theChemical Engineering Selective and Engineering Selective degreerequirements. This provides an alternative to “randomly” selectingcourses for identified requirements and pursue additional knowledgein a specific area of interest without adding coursework to theirdegree work. Upon successful completion, the indicatedconcentration is displayed on the transcript.

Study Abroad Students who desire to pursue education withworld-wide exposure, study abroad is the way to go! Purdue’s StudyAbroad Office is the main resource specific to assisting astudent’s ambition. Studying within other cultures, meeting people,and enlightenment to new countries is an integral part of being astudent and Purdue nurtures student’s learning through providingopportunities to these otherwise potentially rare experiences. TheStudy Abroad Office is the place for getting started in assistingwith preparation to going abroad. When on a study abroad program,the student is accountable with adhering to the academic policiesof 1) the attending institution abroad, 2) Purdue University and 3)the School of Chemical Engineering, as if the student remained onthe West Lafayette campus. A student who will study abroad mustsign an agreement, with their Academic Advisor, to confirm theirawareness of the outlined expectations and regulations, and otherinformation resources, as stated on the form, to ensuresatisfactory progress during their experience.

1. Short Programs: School of Chemical Engineering AcademicPolicies These are programs during Spring Break, Winter Break andprograms of 2- and 4-weeks in length

2. Semester / Year-Long Programs and School of ChemicalEngineering Academic Policies Student meets with the Study AbroadLiaison to: Review possible ChE-related programs ChE Programs haveequated courses, as reviewed by our faculty, satisfying majorrequirements The School of Chemical Engineering has agreements withthese institutions abroad listed by

country, their universities, and the courses previously equatedIf an offered course at the institution has not previously beenreviewed and recorded:

o For each CHE course of interest, submit a syllabus for facultyevaluation o For each non-CHE course, submit the syllabus therespective schools and departments at

Purdue for their determination Sign forms of approved andintended courses and followed up with assigned Academic Advisor

The policy of CHE course sequence, and prerequisites, remainsintact as if not participating abroad If student earned less thanthe minimum requirement of “C-” in CHE 21100, then they mayonly

enroll CHE 21100 (as a retake), if offered, and no subsequentChemical Engineering courses may be enrolled per academic policy ofthe Davidson School of Chemical Engineering

Coursework may not be enrolled or completed out of sequence Ifthe highest course achieved prior to the program is CHE 21100, thestudent may not enroll

CHE 37800 without first successfully completing the prerequisiteof CHE 37700

HONORS PROGRAMS Students who have demonstrated a strong academicability and wish to conduct honors-level research with a ChemicalEngineering faculty advisor may consider this approach in pursuitof an academic enhancement and challenge. The research is twosemesters in length (Senior-year fall/spring), or, depending on theproject, may opt for three semesters (Junior spring and Seniorfull-year). The student will write, submit, and defend a Thesis forthe Distinguished Research honor and may choose from two tracks(see below).

Chemical Engineering Distinguished Research A student may applyafter reaching a “contract” with a faculty advisor on a researchtopic, have a minimum cumulative 3.50 GPA, and all listed coursescompleted with minimum “B-” on the first attempt: WrittenCommunication Oral Communication MA 26100 PHYS 24100

The College staff workto support student leaders on campus who impact society from theirfirst semester and go on to enroll in the top graduate programs andreceive the best employment their fields. The Honors Collegecurriculum consists of 24.0-credits honors-level coursework and aThesis or Scholarly project in order to earn the distinction.Students must earn and maintain a cumulative 3.50 GPA or higheramong completion of all outlined requirements to graduate withhonors. Continue to work with the Honors Advisor to ensure therequirements and expectations are being met for progress or toavoid losing Honors College privileges.

Contract for Honors Credits For various reasons, manydepartments campus-wide do not provide course(s) identified ashonors (“H”). To aid in the accumulation of honors-level credit forstudents, the Honors College offers the option to “Honors Contract”a course. This contract is a signed agreement between the studentand the course faculty outlining a higher-level of work orexpectations allowing the otherwise standard course to apply ashonors credit. The contract is beneficial with hopes of affordingcourse flexibility within a schedule, and, more importantly, aviable route for a student to expand curiosity and knowledge byexceeding the original offered course material in courses ofstudent’s interest. To establish honors credit in a course, theHonors Contract has a required procedure and formwork fordocumentation. To ensure fairness to all parties involved, theformwork must be completed and submitted within a rigid timeline ofthe registered course semester.

ACADEMICS & REGULATIONS The Davidson School of ChemicalEngineering has academic regulations and policies in place, asdesigned by the faculty, to safeguard the reputation of the degreecurriculum and educational preparedness of students.

Chemical Engineering Course Regulations CHE 20500: Students MUSTearn a minimum “C” grade to meet the major requirement and as a

prerequisite for eligibility of subsequent CHE courses; CHE20500 may not be completed elsewhere A minimum grade of “C- “isrequired for satisfying all other listed CHE major core courses Tograduate with a BSChE degree, a student must earn the minimum: 2.00Cumulative GPA; this is a calculation of all completed courses atPurdue University Grade as specified for each CHE requirement 2.00Major GPA; this is a calculation of all Chemical Engineeringcourses

Adopting University policy, the school allows enrollment of arepeatable course up to three (3) times Enrollment is defined asthe establishment of a letter grade (“A”– “F”) or withdrawal(“W”)

o If a CHE course is not successfully passed after the thirdenrollment, the student is no longer eligible to continue pursuitof a degree in the School of Chemical Engineering

Academic Policy of Pre- and Co-requisite Courses As noted, allChemical Engineering (CHE) core courses have a mandated minimumgrade for satisfying the major requirement. If the minimum grade isnot met, that CHE course must be repeated while forfeitingenrollment of all subsequent coursework for which the repeat courseis a prerequisite.

• Prerequisite: Course(s) that MUST be satisfactorily completedprior to enrollment of subsequent course(s)

• Co-requisite: Course(s) that may be taken concurrently withsubsequent course(s) • CHE 20500: If minimum “C” grade is notearned, then it must be repeated with forfeiture of enrollment

in CHE 21100 and CHE 32000, or any other course for which it isa prerequisite • CHM 37000: CHE 21100 is a prerequisite (notcorequisite); no exceptions! The School of Chemical

Engineering policy supersedes the Department of Chemistry andstudent may not seek an override.

Pass/No-Pass Option This can provide a student the opportunityto broaden their educational experience of advanced courses withminimal concern of grades factoring into the cumulative GPA.Adjusting the mode may be done within the modification timeline ofa given semester. Please consider the following with P/NPoption:

• APPLIES ONLY toward General Education Selectives, includingGen Ed Upper Level, requirements • Graduate or Professional School:if considering, it is recommended NOT to enroll courses as P/NP •The course obligations and expectations of the material is the sameas if taking for a letter grade Final Reporting: • Pass (“P”) iscoded for those who would have earned an A+, A, A-, B+, B, B-, C+,C, or C- grade • Not passed (“NP”), for those who would have earnedlower than a “C-” grade • “NP” indicates the credit is not earnedand does not meet the degree requirement

Retake/Repeat of Courses It may be determined to repeat a coursefor various reasons, such as; unsatisfied with an earned grade,failed course, or not meeting the identified grade minimum in CHEcourses, but the following policies apply:

• May only enroll a course for a maximum of three (3) times perUniversity academic policy o Enrollment is defined as establishinga letter grade or a “W” indicating a withdraw from the

course

• When a course is retaken at Purdue, the previous grade isautomatically excluded (“E”) from contribution to the graduationindex (overall GPA) and only the most recent grade established iscalculated

o University regulation dictates, the most recent grade alwaysreplaces the previous grade – no consideration is given to which ishigher. It is encouraged to discuss retakes with AcademicAdvisor.

• If an approved equivalent course is successfully completed atanother institution, the transferred credit will satisfy the degreerequirement but does not replace the original grade for GPAcalculation

• Statement on mPP: “If you register and receive a grade for acourse in which credit hours have already been granted, either bywork at Purdue or by transfer credit, you will forfeit the creditfor the previous course. However, until final grades are processed,your previous course will appear in the audit as usable credit.Also, institution credit always takes precedence over transfercredit.”

• Credit may be established via AP exams, IB exams, and creditfrom other institutions and will show as “TR” on the Purduetranscript and myPurduePlan

• The repeated course may only be done in the same grade mode asthe original course enrollment. Such as, if the course wasinitially enrolled for a letter grade, then the retake MUST also befor a letter grade; conversely, if originally enrolled as Pass/NoPass, the retake MUST be done in this mode as well.

• If repeating a course solely for grade improvement, it isencouraged to configure the affect the potential new grade may haveon the overall GPA prior to spending time in repeating. Also,consider the original grade and the likelihood to drasticallyimprove on that mark, as well as potentially earning a lower gradewhich would be utilized as being the most recent earned grade.

• Calculators to assist in factoring a “what if” GPA: College ofScience or School of Management

Maximum Credit Limit Students participating in BAND, ROTC orresearch may request an increase to their maximum credit limit viathe Scheduling Assistant. Because increasing a student’s maximumcredit limit can lead to an extremely challenging semester, wereview each request on an individual basis considering the studentsparticular circ*mstances.

• Maximum credit limit for fall & spring – 18 credits •Maximum credit limit for summer – 9 credits

Course Conflicts On occasion, students request to enroll incourses offered at the same time. CHE does not allow time conflictoverrides – unless the conflict is with BAND. Studentsparticipating in BAND may request this override via the SchedulingAssistant.

CHE Closed Courses CHE does not use the Purdue wait list systemfor CHE courses. Should you have an issue registering for therequired CHE courses, please place your name on the ChE CourseRegistration Issue Request link which will be available via the ChEUndergraduate Blog during registration. Please note that the waitlist system for non-CHE courses is available during openregistration until the 5pm Friday before the semester begins.

Override Requests ALL override requests for CHE courses arehandled through the Undergraduate Office. Please do not contact thefaculty, or the Head of the Department for permission. Should youneed an override, please request the override via the SchedulingAssistant during your time ticket and it will be reviewed by theAssociate Director of Undergraduate Studies.

Auditing Courses Students wishing to audit a course may requestan override to audit via the Schedule Assistant. Students will needto register for the course first, then adjust the grade mode forthe course to audit. The Davidson School of Chemical Engineeringwill approve audit requests, if space is available, for CHEcoursework during the second week of each semester.
