Biochemical Engineering, Minor

This minor exposes the student to the fundamentals of chemical engineering.  Focus is on the major conservation principles such as the conservation of mass and the conservation of energy, followed by how chemical reactions and processing are governed by these principles.

Complete all courses listed below unless otherwise indicated. Also complete any corequisite labs, recitations, clinicals, or tools courses where specified. 

Students in the Chemical Engineering and Biochemistry combined major are not eligible for this minor.

Note: Courses taken as satisfactory/unsatisfactory (pass/fail) cannot be used to fulfill minor requirements.
