Chemical Engineering Systems Analysis

A minor in chemical engineering systems analysis provides students with a sophisticated understanding of the application of scientific knowledge to the solution of a vast array of practical problems in which chemistry plays a critical role. Students are taught the systems methodology that chemical engineers employ to analyze and solve real world problems involving distinct chemical components, chemical reaction, multiple phases, and mass transfer.

Prerequisites:

There are chemistry and mathematics prerequisites for the minor.

Chemistry - Choose one of the following sequences of courses:

1011-216/206General and Analytical Chemistry II with Lab
