Section 103 (WF) of Chemical Engineering 154 (the old ChE 154 section) is currently overenrolled for Fall 2009. To accommodate student demand, the department is now offering a second section of the old ChE 154 course (section 102, TuTh). Those students now on the waitlist for section 103 should sign up for section 102. We also plan to increase somewhat the enrollment limit in each section
As a consequence of offering two sections of the old ChE 154 in Fall 2009, only one section of the new ChE 154 will be available (section 101, MW). It is anticipated that two sections of the new ChE 154 course will be offered in Spring 2010 along with one section of the old ChE 154.
4/17/09
As of Fall 2009, Chemical Engineering157, Transport Processes Laboratory, will no longer be offered. Several transport experiments from Chemical Engineering 157 will be incorporated into a newly designed 4-unit chemical engineering laboratory, designated as Chemical Engineering 154. Also, course units for Chemical Engineering 141 and 142 will be raised to 4 units each.
Transition Plans
Students who complete Chemical Engineering 157, but not Chemical Engineering 154, prior to Fall 2009, should enroll in a special Fall 2009 offering of the current Chemical Engineering 154 course under the designation of Chemical Engineering 154 (section 103, WF 1-5 p). Students who have not completed Chemical Engineering 157 will be required to take the new amalgamated Chemical Engineering 154 (sections 101 and 102).
Students who drop ChE 157 in Spring 2009 need to be aware of two pitfalls. First, those students who already took ChE 141 and 142 (3 units each), drop ChE 157, and then take the new ChE 154 in Fall 2009 (4 units) will have 2 fewer Chemical Engineering units toward graduation than were previously required. Second, if significant student numbers drop ChE 157 in Spring 2009, the new ChE 154 in Fall 2009 may be oversubscribed. In case of over enrollment, students who drop ChE 157 in Spring 2009 and then plan to enroll in the new ChE 154 in Fall 2009 may need to be given lower enrollment priority.
Effective for students who take Chemical Engineering 170 or 170A in Fall 2007 or later, Biotechnology-concentration requirements are:
Note: Biotechnology-concentration students are required to take Molecular and Cell Biology 102 in place of Biology 1A.
The following Bioengineering elective is eliminated:
Transition Plans
Students who completed Chemical Engineering 170 prior to Fall 2007 will be held to the old requirements.
Students who complete Chemical Engineering 170 or 170A in Fall 2007 or later and who complete the Bioengineering elective before Fall 2008 have the option of taking:
Chemical Engineering 170A (or 170 in Fall 2007) and C170L
OR
Chemical Engineering 170B (with consent of instructor) and C170L, provided MCB 102 is completed before taking Chemical Engineering 170B,
OR
Chemical Engineering 170A (or 170 in Fall 2007), 170B, and C170L.
Important note: The changes do not affect Spring 2006 course enrollments since the course drop deadline was February 17
The transition plan to the new graduation requirement is:
