Course list for the Chemical and Materials Engineering Dual Major

Information valid for students commencing 2010

Chemical and Materials Engineering

Available in the dual major only.

Students must complete for the BE (Chemical and Materials Engineering Plan code: CHMATW2001), #64 comprising -

  1. a dual major - a minimum of #60 being all compulsory courses listed in Part A of the Chemical and Materials Engineering list;
  2. balance from electives. Students are encouraged to seek academic advice for courses chosen that are not listed in Part B Electives. Selection of courses which are not in the BE List require the approval of the Executive Dean.

Pre-2012 students need to refer to transitional information available at Chemical Engineering Course Changes
