Chemical Engineering Concentration Recommended Schedule

Each concentration has 2 MAPs (Major Academic Plans); one for students who have completed MATH 113 (Start with EMC2) and those who have not (Start with Math 112).

Chemical Engineering: EMC2 (Graduate ODD year)


Warnings:

  • Only possible for students who have completed Math 112 and Math 113, unless Spring/Summer Terms taken
  • If you are graduating in an even year, this concentration is not possible in the standard 4 years because of CH EN 541 needing to happen in Winter 3.

  • It is recommended that you take the classes highlighted in blue as part of the EMC2 program (see EMC2.byu.edu).  If you have credit for Math 113, you can start EMC2 now.
  • Since this concentration does not require CS 235, ACME Major can count your EMC2 experience as your CS 111 credit, but it is recommended that you take CS 235 (with Prerequisite CS 111) before starting the Junior Core.
  • *Only taught Winter Odd Years.

Chemical Engineering: EMC2 (Graduate EVEN year)


Not possible because of CH EN 541 needing to happen in Winter 3
