Ohio University Chemical Engineering Pre-Approved
Technical Electives
Note: This chemical engineering technical
electives list applies to all course work taken after 01 September 1999.
The courses listed below are preapproved for use as technical electives.
Other courses may be taken with the prior, written approval
of your academic advisor. ChE 490 (special investigations) may fulfill
up
to three (3) hours of your technical elective requirement. No more
than three (3) hours of your total technical elective requirement can be
made up of special investigations/independent study from any source.
Special investigation courses taken in departments other than chemical
engineering must be approved, in writing, by your advisor or the department
chair prior to undertaking the special investigation.
Some of the courses listed below have prerequisites listed within the
parentheses which differ from those listed in the catalog. These alternate
prerequisites have occasionally been accepted as alternates to those prerequisites
listed in the catalog. The acceptance of alternate prerequisites is at
the discretion of the individual course instructor. In general, other RCENT
departments have accepted ChE courses in thermodynamics, heat transfer,
and fluid flow in place of their courses. It is the responsibility of the
student to check with individual instructors about course prerequisites.
