Chemical Engineering Program (CENG)
Courses
For course descriptions not found in the 2006-2007 General
Catalog, please contact the department for more information.
All students enrolled in CENG courses or admitted to the CENG
program (including pre-majors) are expected to meet Prerequisite
and performance
standards, i.e., students may not enroll in any CENG courses or courses
in another department which are required for the major prior to
having
satisfied prerequisite courses with a C or better. (The program
does not consider D or F grades as adequate preparation for subsequent
material.) Additional details are given under the program outline,
course
descriptions, and admission procedures for the Jacobs School of Engineering
in this catalog.
