Chemical Engineering (Professional Engineer Program), MSCHe

A minimum of 31 credit hours of course work is required.

These must include the five core courses and elective courses listed below.

• CHE 2101 - FUNDAMENTALS OF THERMODYNAMICS
• CHE 2201 - FUNDAMNTL OF REACTION PROCESSES
• CHE 2301 - FUNDAMNTL TRANSPORT PROCESSES 1
• CHE 2410 - MATHMTCL METHD IN CHEMCL ENGRG 1
• CHE 2910 - SPECIAL PROJECTS
• ChE 2XXX - Chemical Engineering Elective (Graduate Level)
• ENGR 2/3XXX - Engineering Elective (Graduate Level)
• ENGR 2/3XXX - Engineering Elective (Graduate Level)
• XX 2/3XXX - Elective (Graduate Level)
• XX 2/3XXX - Elective (Graduate Level)

Note:

Up to 6 credit hours may be elected in approved graduate course offerings outside the department (denoted by XX, above); approvals are granted by the ChE Vice Chair for Graduate Education. 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 Engineer 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 the ChE Bridging Program offered by Pitt during the summer term. In addition, students must take ChE 0613 (senior-level) “Systems Engineering 2: Process Design” prior to graduating with the MS, offered in the spring and summer terms. Neither of these courses can serve as an elective nor core course substitute in the MS in Chemical Engineering required courses.
