The Chemical and Biochemical Engineering Profession
Chemical and biochemical engineering began as an offspring of chemistry and biochemistry and has evolved into a distinct discipline in which industrial processes for making thousands of chemical and biochemical products are economically designed through the inter-disciplinary application of chemistry, mathematics, computers, physics, and biology. Two parallel program options are offered: chemical engineering and biochemical engineering. In chemical engineering there is an emphasis on application of transport phenomena, kinetics and thermodynamics, phase equilibria, and computer-controlled systems in process engineering and plant design. Chemical engineering further includes process safety, polymer science, environmental technology, and many other areas that are needed for the safe production of the wide variety of chemical compounds used in industry. In biochemical engineering, principles of biology are applied, along with relevant parts from the chemical engineering field, to the design and operation of bioprocesses. The biochemical engineering field embraces the areas of immunotechnology, protein engineering, tissue engineering, artificial organs, bioseparations, insect, fungal and plant cell biotechnology, and bio-informatics. The job of the chemical and biochemical engineer is to make large-scale application of inventions and new scientific knowledge made by chemists and biochemists. This is done by taking raw materials and safely transforming them by means of physical, chemical, or biological processes into useful intermediates or finished products replete with the necessary and sufficient environmental safeguards. Typical products are plastics, petrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, food, and energy fuels. Because of the great versatility of the trained chemical or biochemical engineer, due in part to the expertise acquired in biochemical as well as chemical and mechanical (physical) systems, opportunities in diverse fields such as medicine are open to graduates. Careers in patent-law, environmental-law, finance and business are also available. A third option is being established to culminate in a five-year B.S./M.S. in pharmaceutical engineering. Interested students should consult with their advisor regarding the status of this program.

Summary of Course Requirements The undergraduate program of study is fairly standard, combining required and elective courses. In the Chemical and Biochemical Engineering Program, students are required to fulfill their general, humanities/social science, and technical elective requirements. General Electives: Any course can be an acceptable general elective (except for those listed on page 16). However, prior approval by the Undergraduate Director is necessary. Biochemical Option students are strongly advised to take General Biology I as a general elective. Humanities/Social Science Electives: A list of acceptable humanities/social science electives is included on pages 13-15. Take note of the college requirements for humanities/social science electives on top of page 13. Technical Electives: Math and science-related courses. See pages 10-12. Special Problems (155:491, 492): Special Problems gives students the opportunity to do laboratory research under the supervision of a departmental faculty member. Students must contact faculty members directly to inquire about open research positions. The Special Problems Registration Form must be completed and returned to the Undergraduate Office before a special permission number will be issued. Only three credits each of 491 and 492 are counted toward the 129.5/131.5 credits needed for graduation. Process Engineering I and II (155:415, 416): All seniors are required to complete Process Engineering I and II in which laboratory unit operations of separations, heat transfer, mass transfer, momentum transfer, and control processes are taught. Students are required to do a series of team projects and present their results in a variety of written and oral formats. Co-Op Program (155:496, 497): The Co-Op Program gives undergraduates the opportunity to earn degree credits while working in industry. Up to six co-op credits are accepted toward the graduation requirements. Co-op credits count as technical or general electives. See page 26-27 for more information. The Major Average: Academic standing is often decided on the basis of your major average. The courses that are included in the major average are marked M on the curriculum sheets (pages 8-9, 16). The degree of Bachelor of Science from the School of Engineering is not awarded to any candidate whose university cumulate grade-point average is less than 1.800 or whose cumulative grade-point average in the major is less than 2.00.

Acceptable Humanities & Social Science Electives
EFFECTIVE FALL 2003
REVISED FALL 2004 NOTE: This list is based on the New Brunswick Undergraduate Catalog, 2003-2005, and supersedes all previous lists. Any new courses added after publication of the 2003-2005 Catalog are subject to review. School Requirements: All candidates for the B.S. degree must complete a minimum of 18 credits of humanities/social science courses including the following:
• 01:355:101; • 01:220:200 or 01:220:102 AND 103. • Four free electives chosen from courses listed below; • Free electives must be selected in a manner such that at least two courses are at the
300/400(upper) level, at least two courses, including one upper level, are from the same subject area; and at least two different subjects are represented. All courses may be from the same subject ONLY IF a minor is earned.
• Elementary language courses are normally NOT accepted for H/SS credit. However, four semesters of a language (2 elementary and 2 intermediate) that was not taken in high school and is not the student's native language will count as 1 general, 2 H/SS lower, and 1 H/SS upper elective. The second upper level H/SS elective must come from another subject unless a minor is earned.
• Questions or appeals regarding course acceptability should be directed to the Associate Dean.
Rationale for H/SS Electives in the Curriculum: A good undergraduate education should provide more than the development of technical skills. Properly chosen, H/SS electives can complement your technical courses by helping you to develop an understanding of the problems facing our society, a historical consciousness, a sense of values, a knowledge of other cultures, an appreciation of the fine arts, and an ability to think logically and communicate effectively. Think seriously about your choices, and use them to enhance your educational experience. Engineering students may also complete a minor or second major in these disciplines.

Special Degree Programs Minor: Refer to the department offering the minor for advice on course selection. The Rutgers University New Brunswick Undergraduate Catalog and departmental websites also detail the required courses for a minor in specific areas. It is wise to choose courses that can be ‘double counted’ for your minor and for a humanities/social science elective, or for a technical elective, depending on the particular minor. Complete and return the Declaration of Minor form to the Office of Academic Affairs (B-100). To insure proper notation on your transcript, complete and return the Certification of Minor form one semester before graduation to the Office of Academic Affairs (B-100). Double Major: Double Major means that you must fulfill the ‘major requirements’ as described for that department (refer to the Rutgers University New Brunswick Undergraduate Catalog for details). Generally, a second major is approximately 30 credits. Students would remain a School 14 student, but would have the second major noted on his/her transcript. To insure proper notation on your transcript, complete and return the Certification of Major form one semester before graduation to the Office of Academic Affairs (B-100). Dual Degree: For a Dual Degree, students have to actually apply to the other college and be accepted. After being accepted, students must fulfill all requirements for the B.A. for that particular college (Rutgers College, Cook College, etc.). This is a more involved process and includes additional work on top of the ~30 credits for the major. For example, Rutgers College requires additional non-western humanities courses, as well as completing a minor in a humanities/social science area if you choose a technical major for your second degree. Consult the specific college for more details. Students receive two separate degrees, one from each school. If you do not complete both degrees concurrently (example, a few classes left for the B.A.) and decide to graduate with the B.S. from Engineering, students may not come back at a later date to finish the remaining classes and obtain the second degree. Five-Year B.S./M.B.A. Program: This joint program between the School of Engineering and the Graduate School of Management enables qualified students to earn a Master’s Degree in Business Administration (M.B.A.) within one calendar year of completing undergraduate requirements. Please refer to pages 442-443 in the 2001-2003 Rutgers-New Brunswick Undergraduate Catalog or the Office of Academic Affairs (B-100) for more information.

Academic Integrity Excerpt
Academic freedom is a fundamental right in any institution of higher learning. Honesty and integrity are necessary preconditions of this freedom. Ethical conduct is the obligation of every member of the University community, and breaches of academic integrity constitute serious offenses. Dissemination of the Academic Integrity Policy to all faculty, staff, and students will ensure that all members of the community are informed about academic integrity. Students must assume responsibility for maintaining honesty in all work submitted for credit and in any other work designated by the instructor of the course. Students are also expected to report incidents of academic dishonesty to the instructor or dean of the instructional unit.
21

Co-Op Program
What is a co-op program? The co-op program allows you to take an apprenticeship-engineering job in industry at an appropriate time during the pursuit of the B.S. degree in the discipline. The work period is usually between the junior and senior year. The duration of the co-op program is a minimum of six continuous months of full-time employment. Partial credit cannot be issued. What are the requirements? The co-op program is different from that of an internship or other kinds of employment in that the co-op program requires: (1) the approval of the Undergraduate Director; (2) good academic standing (≥2.5 GPA required); (3) completion of fall semester junior-level courses; (4) a written report from the student upon completion of the co-op work experience; and (5) a brief evaluation of the student’s work from the immediate co-op supervisor upon completion of the co-op work experience (the evaluation must be sent directly to the Undergraduate Director). Students must complete and return the registration form to the Undergraduate Secretary before special permission numbers will be issued for registration. How many credits are allowed? A maximum of six (6) credits are allowed toward the 129.5/131.5 credits required for graduation. Students are given six credits (pass/fail) for six continuous months of successful engineering-related work in an approved job. The course numbers for co-op are 14:155:496 and 14:155:497. How do I look for a co-op position? You are encouraged to look for the co-op position on your own. However, you can also come to the department or your advisor to ask for co-op job leads. Co-op positions are e-mailed to students when available. You can also contact Career Services. Should I participate in the co-op program? If you prefer experimental and practical work to theoretical work, and if you like to work with people (or seeking the experience of working with people), the co-op experience is for you. If you need money to pay for your education, participation in the co-op program is a way to help alleviate your financial problems. Can I get a job on campus for co-op credits? In general, no. Co-op credits are those earned from industrial jobs. If you are interested in doing research, register for 155:491 and 155:492, the special problems course. These do not count as co-op credits. 26

James J. Slade Honors Program In the third year, students who have maintained a 3.2 university cumulative grade-point average may apply to the chairperson of their major department to be admitted into the James J. Slade Scholars Program. Upon admission to the program, each student prepares a plan of study under the guidance of a faculty member. The faculty member acts as the student’s research advisor and should be a member of the student’s major department. Although great flexibility is permitted, each engineering program is required to meet the definition of an engineering curriculum as stated by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET). The Slade Scholars Program requires independent research (register for Special Problems 491 & 492) and a thesis that results in a total number of credits that is six credits beyond the minimum required for graduation. The thesis, describing the student’s investigations, is presented at a public seminar, and in poster format at Undergraduate Research Day. Students are required to follow thesis style guidelines, which are available in the Dept. Undergraduate Office (C-226). The requirements are fulfilled in the senior year. Upon successful completion of the Slade Scholars Program, students receive a special honors certificate and notation in the list of honors conferred in the commencement program. To insure proper credit, a copy of the Certification of Completion form and thesis must be submitted to Academic Affairs (B-100) and the Dept. Undergraduate Office (C-226) three days prior to commencement.
