Return to: John A. Swanson School of Engineering
Students who wish to pursue advanced study in chemical engineering may apply for admission to the Professional Engineer Program. It differs from the regular MS program in two important respects:
- Course work replaces the MS thesis requirement.
- The student completes a 3-credit special project course, CHE 2910 , during their last term in the program. This course could be satisfied, for example, by a project with a faculty member, or a project based on their professional work (for engineers currently working in industry) for which a faculty member agrees to serve as advisor. Submission of a term paper, which is completed under the advisement of a member of the faculty, is required.
|
A minimum of 31 credit hours of course work is required.
These must include the five core courses and elective courses listed below.
Note:
Up to 6 credit hours may be elected in approved graduate course offerings outside the department (denoted by XX, above). Students who wish to enter this program should first apply for admission to graduate study in chemical engineering. Once admitted, students can then request admission to the Professional Engineering Program.
No single course can be used to satisfy both a core requirement and elective requirement.
Students without a BS degree in engineering must take, in addition, either the online “bridging course” offered in Jan (1st class) and May (2nd class) by Michigan State University (See http://www.egr.msu.edu/ for details about the bridging courses CHE 804 and 805) or CHE 0300 (sophomore-level) “Transport Phenomena” class offered during the Fall term. Neither of these classes can serve as an elective nor core course substitute in the MS in Petroleum Engineering required classes.
