Description of program overview image:
The image presents a comparison of two ways to complete the Master of Science in Chemical Engineering program. At the top, the title reads “Master of Science in Chemical Engineering”, followed by the line “Program Overview: 30 credit hours.”
Two program options are shown side by side:
Coursework Only Program
Project-based Program
A note at the bottom states: “Students must attain a 3.0 GPA in core courses.”
The left side of the image is labeled “Coursework Only Program.”
A blue banner reads: “30 Credits.”
Two category headers follow:
4 Core Courses
6 Tech Electives
Four required core courses are listed in gray boxes:
Foundations of Engineering Analysis
Thermodynamics
Advanced Transport Phenomena
Chemical Reaction Engineering
Two gray boxes describe the elective credit distribution:
9.0 credit hours of CH EN electives
9.0 credit hours of any electives
There is no project component in this pathway.
The right side of the image is labeled “Project-based Program.”
A blue banner again reads: “30 Credits.”
Three category headers follow:
4 Core Courses
4 Tech Electives
Project
The same four core courses appear, listed in identical order:
Foundations of Engineering Analysis
Thermodynamics
Advanced Transport Phenomena
Chemical Reaction Engineering
Two gray boxes outline elective requirements:
6.0 credit hours of CH EN electives
6.0 credit hours of any electives
A separate gray box states:
6.0 credit hours of Advanced Design Project
This project replaces the extra elective credits found in the coursework-only version.
Both program paths require 30 total credits and the same four core courses.
The coursework-only option contains more elective credits.
The project-based option includes fewer electives plus a 6-credit Advanced Design Project.
A note beneath both charts indicates that students must earn at least a 3.0 GPA in core courses
