Bachelor in Chemical Engineering

Chemical engineering applies the principles of the physical sciences, economics, and human
relations to research, design, build, and supervise facilities that convert raw materials into useful
products and services.
The majority of chemical engineers are involved in the chemical process industries that produce
many of the materials and items needed in everyday life. These include medicine, food,
fertilizers, plastics, synthetic fibers, petroleum, petrochemicals, ceramics, and pulp and paper
products. A chemical engineer may pursue a professional career in many other fields, such as
energy conversion, pollution control, medical research, and materials development in aerospace
and electronic industries. Chemical engineers are employed in research, development, design,
production, sales, consulting, and management positions. They are also found in government and
education. Many use a chemical engineering education as a stepping stone to law, medicine, or
corporate management.
The curriculum in chemical engineering serves as basic training for positions in these diverse
areas of the manufacturing industry or for graduate study leading to advanced degrees. The first
part of the chemical engineering curriculum provides a firm foundation in mathematics, physics,
and chemistry. The chemistry background is stressed. The second part of the curriculum offers a
balance between classroom and laboratory experience in stressing chemical engineering topics
such as transport phenomena, thermodynamics, kinetics and reactor design, separation processes,
fluid flow and heat transfer operations, process control, and process design. The development of
design tools, communication, and interpersonal skills is integrated throughout the curriculum.
The curriculum allows concentrations in emerging technologies such as bioengineering,
environmental engineering and materials engineering. Those interested in attending medical
/dental school can pursue a pre-med preparation as part of their curriculum.
The Chemical Engineering Department at the University of Dayton is accredited by the
Engineering Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and
Technology. The full-time faculty focuses on core courses in the Chemical Engineering
program, while part-time faculty members from industry bring current industrial practice to the
classroom.

Thematic Clusters
What is a thematic cluster?

A cluster is composed of a group of courses that focus on a common theme. Each

cluster includes at least three courses from three different domains of knowledge.

The six domains of knowledge are:

o Arts Study
o Historical Study
o Philosophy
o Physical and Life Science
o Religious Studies
o Social Sciences

Clusters are part of general education. They are not an additional requirement, but
a way of organizing some of the existing general education requirements.

Why are thematic clusters required at UD?

To provide the opportunity for students to discover connections across academic

disciplines.
To enable students to further explore the question of the Humanities Base, What
does it mean to be human? by focusing on a particular theme.
To help students engage in a richer and broader learning experience by exploring this
theme in a multidisciplinary way.

What are important considerations when choosing a cluster?

Interest in the theme: Individual interest motivates students to raise important

questions and helps connect general education requirements to issues raised in major
areas of study.
Timing: Select a cluster after completing the Humanities Base. This should be by the
beginning of the sophomore year. Cluster courses should be planned in conjunction
with requirements in the major.

Compatibility with a major: A student may select any cluster. However, some clusters are more
compatible with specific majors. Consider how a cluster complements a major area of study and
how it is compatible with major requirements. Consult with advisors and departmental
chairpersons.

Types of Clusters
The Arts and Human Experience
Art teaches nothing except the significance of life -- Henry Miller
The Business Professional in a Global Society
Leaving the social milieu. The preconceptions. The definitions. The language. The narrowed
field of reason. The expectations. No longer expecting relationships, memories, words, or
letters to mean what they used to mean. To be, in a word: Open. Rabbi Lawrence Kushner
Catholic Intellectual Tradition
"At all times the church carries the responsibility of reading the signs of the time and of
interpreting them in the light of the Gospel..."
-- Vatican Council II, Gaudium et Spes, n. 4
Cross Cultural
"I am a human, and nothing human is alien to me."

"We have not inherited the world from our ancestors--we have borrowed it from our children."-Kashmire Proverb
Social Justice
"Let us resolve to be masters, not victims, of our history, controlling our own destiny without
giving way to blind suspicions and emotions." -- John F. Kennedy
Values, Technology, & Society
"The open society, the unrestricted access to knowledge, the unplanned and uninhibited
association of people for their furtherance--these are what may make a vast, complex, ever
growing, ever changing, ever more specialized and expert technological world, nevertheless a
world of human community."
--J. Robert Oppenheimer
Women and Culture
"To document the experience of women would mean documenting all of history: they have
always been of it, in it, and making it...half, at least, of the world's experience has been theirs,
half of the world's work and much of its products." -- Gerda Lerner

Self-Defined Cluster
While many thematic clusters have been defined and developed by the faculty, you may choose
to define a cluster for yourself. While any student may develop a self-defined thematic cluster,
this option is especially relevant to students who study abroad.
Self-defined thematic clusters must meet the goals of clusters:

To facilitate an integrated view of knowledge,

To enhance familiarity with the domains of knowledge that are part of general education,
and
To build on the humanities base.

Students wishing to develop a self-defined thematic cluster must write a proposal that:

Clearly identifies the theme for the cluster.

Develops a statement of rationale for the theme that explains why the theme is
appropriate for general education.
Lists the courses that will be taken to complete the cluster and explains how each course
contributes to or supports the theme. There must be a minimum of three courses. Each
course must come from a different domain of knowledge (Arts Study, Historical Study,
Philosophy, Physical and Life Sciences, Religious Studies, and Social Sciences. Under
certain circumstances, such as study-abroad, one course may be from a domain not
included in general education. If such a course is included, the proposal must explain
how that course meets the cluster goals. Such a course does not replace a general
education domain requirement. Students must still complete all of the general education
requirements.). If a course is in one of the general education domains of knowledge but
is not approved for general education, the proposal must explain how that course meets
the goals of general education. Such a course will count for the general education
requirement. Students should ordinarily define a cluster before beginning the
coursework.

The approval process is as follows:

Proposals must be signed by the students academic advisor and chairperson.

Proposals are then sent to the Associate Dean for the School of Engineering and then
forwarded to the Associate Dean for Connected Learning in the College of Arts and
Sciences. The Associate Dean will review the proposal. If the proposal is approved, the
Associate Dean will notify the SOE Deans office and they in turn will notify the student.
If the cluster is not approved, the Associate Dean will notify the student and the advisor
in writing with a rationale. Students may revise and resubmit proposals.

15

Special Programs Clusters

By fulfilling the program requirements of the Chaminade Scholar Program and the Core Program
the requirements for the Chaminade Scholars cluster and Core cluster are also fulfilled.
Honor Students can fulfill the Honors cluster by completing any approved cluster and integrative
project. The project must include information from all three cluster classes taken and address the
theme of the cluster. The proposal for the project must be approved by the coordinator of the
cluster. The Honors student will earn credit for one Honors designated course for fulfilling the
Honors cluster.

16

Thematic Cluster

You should choose a thematic cluster after careful thought and consultation with your advisors. Ideally,
you should select a cluster before completing your first year. Review the thematic cluster pages. Print
out this page and fill it out in consultation with your advisor.

MINORS IN THE SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING

Specialization has become an increasingly important aspect of engineering practice. It is
often advantageous for School of Engineering graduates to have both a balanced education in
one of the traditional disciplines and specialized training in a specific area complementary to that
discipline.
In recognition of this trend, the School of Engineering has a program of minors which, in
some cases, may be pursued throughout the existing electives of your current engineering
curriculum. The minors program serves the needs of the student by providing options which
open avenues of study to fulfill specific educational goals/career objectives.
Election of a minor is strictly at the students option and does not affect the present credit
hour requirements for graduation. This is typically done at the beginning of the students junior
year. There is no penalty for discontinuing a minor program of study provided the unfulfilled
balance of free and technical electives are taken in accordance with current degree requirements.
Successful completion of a minor will be recorded by its formal title on the students official
transcript.
A minor consists of at least 12 semester hours of coursework sequenced such that the
program of study can be completed in the third and fourth years of study. The first course in each
minor will usually satisfy any prerequisite requirements for subsequent courses in that minor.
Moreover, the first course will usually provide the necessary technical background needed by
those students entering the program from other engineering disciplines. The courses in a minor
are taken for undergraduate credit, grading option 1 only. Courses required for the minor
may not be offered every term.
To designate a minor, the Request for Approval of a Minor form, page 18 of this booklet
is available in the Office of the Dean of Engineering (KL 266), and should be completed by the
student and signed by the chair of the School of Engineering department offering the minor. The
form should then be submitted to the Office of the Dean, KL 266. When the minor has been
successfully completed, the dean will notify the Registrars Office, and the minor will become a
part of the students permanent record. In some instances, it may be beneficial to the student to
substitute courses in an approved minor program. Such changes can be submitted on the
Request for Approval of a Minor form and must be approved by the students advisor,
appropriate department chairperson, and the dean.
An undergraduate student who wishes to complete a minor in an area outside of the
School of Engineering may do so by completing the courses selected by the department offering
the minor. In addition to the 12 semesters there will likely be additional prerequisite courses.
Detailed descriptions of the School of Engineering minors are provided in this brochure.
It is anticipated that additional minors will evolve on a continuing basis from faculty-student
endeavors. A special minor, not listed, can be created with the approval of the advisor, the
chairperson offering the minor, and the School of Engineering Academic Committee.

Registration on the Web

Students can register on line using Porches. Students pick courses they want approved;
second, inform your advisor by e-mail that your course selections have been made and ask for
advisor approval; third, after advisor approval has been obtained, students can then register on
the web on the assigned day and time as noted in the composite. You may register later than
your assigned date, but not earlier. Detailed instructions are printed in the class composite
published each semester. .

Courses Taken Elsewhere for Transfer Credit

In the summer, or during terms away from campus (e.g., on co-op work assignment), it
is sometimes advantageous for students to take one or more courses at another accredited
institution. Before you register at the other school, the class has to be approved by the
Department Chair. The procedure is as follows - obtain a copy of the "Transient Student
Permit Form" available in the department office or the dean's office. Complete the top half,
(name, address, course you are planning to take at the other school, and name of other school,
and whether they are on semesters or quarters). A copy of the course description from the other
institution is required. This is the 2-4 sentence long description from the other schools
bulletin. When this is complete, leave it with the department office and the chair will review.
After the chairman has reviewed this information, and assuming the course is O.K.'d, you will
take the forms down to the Dean's office KL-266 and they will advise you of the next step in the
procedure. Provided a grade of C- or better is obtained, the course will transfer to UD. After
the course is completed, it is the student's responsibility to request
a copy of the transcript be sent to:
School of Engineering Dean's Office
Kettering Lab Room 266
University of Dayton
300 College Park
Dayton, Ohio 45469-0228
The course is then counted as transfer credit, but is not figured into the student's cumulative
grade point average.

Substitution for Required Courses - Request to Modify Program of Study

The Faculty of Chemical Engineering have carefully designed the curriculum to ensure
our graduates are well prepared to undertake a professional career, and to ensure that all
accreditation and university requirements are met. Thus, substitution for a required course in
the curriculum is not routinely approved. Nevertheless, there are occasionally circumstances in
which such substitution is justified, and will be permitted with the necessary approvals. The
form, "Request to Modify Program of Study", is available in the department office as well as
the dean's office. Complete the form (including why the substitution should be approved), then
leave it with the Department Chair to review and a decision will be made.

Drop/Add Procedure
Prior to the first day of each term or session, a student is permitted to drop/add a class
electronically from the web registration web site. It is strongly encouraged that you discuss all
changes in your schedule with your advisor.
After classes begin for each term, if a student wants to alter their schedule, a drop/add
form must be completed, and signed by an advisor. Drop/Add forms are available in the
Chemical Engineering Department or the Registration Office in Albert Emanuel Hall. A list of
important dates with respect to adding or withdrawing from a class, is printed in the first few
ages of the composite each semester.

PLEASE NOTE: Students are responsible for monitoring their own progress in completing
requirements for graduation. Drop/adds which are made without a discussion with your advisor
and which may result in non-fulfillment of requirements will not be corrected by substitutions
and waivers.

Retake Policy
A student who earns a grade of D or F in a course may retake that course at the University of
Dayton and remove the original D or F from their cumulative GPA.
If a higher grade is earned in the retaken course the original D or F will not be removed from the
students transcript but will have same as and the term the course was repeated in the line of
the original course along with the original grade. The original GPA for that term will also
remain. The D or F will be removed from the cumulative GPA calculation only after a higher
grade is earned and will not be retroactive.
If a lower grade is earned in the retaken course the notation same as and term the course was
originally taken will be listed with the retaken course along with the grade earned. This grade
will not be used in the calculation of the students cumulative GPA.
Only 15 semester hours may be retaken by any student.
If the same course is retaken twice both courses will be counted toward their maximum retake
hours and both previous grades will be replaced.
Exceptions to this policy may be made by the dean (or the dean's designee) of the school or
college in which the student is enrolled.

The Co-op Program

The co-op program integrates classroom study with employment related to the student's
major. Practical work experience is gained before graduation - and in today's job market, that's a
big advantage. Employers vary from small, local firms to multi-national corporations and
government agencies and provide unique experiences to undergraduate students.
A student is generally eligible to begin the co-op program in their second semester of
their sophomore year but no later than mid-junior year. The co-op program requires alternating
semesters of full-time study and full-time work.
Co-operative education allows students to - define career goals and evaluate choices
gain valuable work experience and meet professionals in their chosen field
reinforce classroom learning
evaluate an employer over a period of time
assist in financing education
improve opportunity for higher starting salary after graduation

Applying to the Co-op Program . . .

Requirements Full-time status as a sophomore or junior undergraduate student at the
University of Dayton
Successful completion of CME 203
Minimum grade point average - 2.3
Serious intent to pursue the co-op option through preparation and
interview process
Competitive interviews are offered both on campus and at employer work sites.
The student makes the final decision whether or not to accept an offer for
co-op employment
Visit the Co-operative Education Office located in the Kettering Labs - Room
261 or call 229-2335 (on campus just dial Ext. 92335). The engineering
advisor is Nancy Forthofer. The web site address is
http://careers.udayton.edu/students/co-op.asp

Internship
Internship opportunities are also available and offer an alternative route to gaining work
experience while still completing the degree program in four years. Visit the
[email protected] .

Honors Program
Requirements

For students pursuing the Honors diploma (thesis option), the 15 Honors credits may
include at most 6 credit hours with any specific academic prefix. For example, at most six
credit hours of Honors-level coursework coded as ENG XXX may apply. The remaining 9
hours must be from other disciplines.

For students pursuing the Honors diploma (courses-only option) or Honors with
Distinction diploma, the 21 Honors credits may include at most 9 hours with any specific
academic prefix. The breadth requirement does not apply to the credit hours obtained as
part of thesis research

Admission
A student may enter the Honors Program in one of three ways:
An incoming first-year student is automatically designated an Honors student
if he or she meets certain criteria:
o 3.7 GPA or top 10% of high school class, and
o 29 ACT or 1300 SAT

By earning a UD cumulative GPA of 3.5 or higher by the end of the first or second year
as a full-time student, and having a sufficient number of Honors credits, the student is
eligible to become a member. The Honors credits criteria are:
3 Honors credits by the completion of 60 credit hours.
6 Honors credits by the completion of 75 credit hours.
9 Honors credits by the completion of 90 credit hours.

A transfer student, after the first or second year, with a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.5
or higher, may apply directly to the University Honors Program, where the Honors
credits are negotiated on a case-by-case basis.

Special Benefits and Privileges for University Honors Students

The Honors Program sponsors a variety of speakers, cultural activities and special events for
students, including the Honors Symposium and the Honors Art Exhibition:

Students completing the Honors Program diploma criteria will graduate with a specially
notated Honors diploma and key.

Incoming first-year Honors students are assured academic scholarships through the
University's scholarship selection process, provided appropriate application materials are
submitted on time.

Honors students may apply for grants to assist with international study, research or
service projects through the University's Cordell W. Hull International Fellows Fund.

45

Honors students may apply for grants to assist with Honors Thesis projects and for travel
funds to present their research at scholarly or professional conferences. Outstanding
thesis projects may be eligible for additional funding through the Patrick F. Palermo
Honors Program Founders Fund.

Honors students receive special library benefits, including the use of the Honors
Study Room 403 (visit the library circulation desk staff to check out the room key).

The Associate Director for Fellowship Advising assists students considering graduate
school and students applying for prestigious awards and national competitive fellowships.

Honors students may participate in the annual Honors Art Competition and Exhibit.

Honors students can enjoy the cultural arts on campus and in the Dayton area (within a
35-mile radius of campus) with help from the University Honors Program:
- We will subsidizes up to $10 towards a student ticket to the University Arts Series
each fall. Just bring us your ticket stub and the receipt in person within 30 days
of the performance.
- We will subsidize tickets (for you and a friend)half the cost of the ticket
up to $10 eachfor Dayton-area cultural events. Just bring us your ticket stub
and the receipt in person within 30 days of the performance.

Honors students are guaranteed University housing for four years and are eligible
for special Honors housing and Honors residential programming.

Earning Honors Credits

Honors credits may be obtained in a variety of ways.
Situations Where One Credit Hour of Coursework Equals One Honors Credit
Honors courses (as ENG 114) or Honors sections (usually marked H )

Honors-approved LLCs (may not be coded H).

Honors on Globalism:
PHL 103 G sections = 3 Honors credits
HST 103 G sections = 3 Honors credits
School of Business
ECO 203 H sections = 3 Honors credits
Sustainability, Energy and the Environment:
PHL 103 S sections = 3 Honors credits
HST 103 S sections = 3 Honors credits

46

Graduate-level courses taken for undergraduate credit

The University of Dayton Graduate School will allow Honors students to register for all
500-level classes and above, which will count toward the required Honors credits.
Students should work closely with their academic advisors as all such course access must
be approved through each department's own standards and procedures

Contract Honors courses, with prior approval of the Honors Program and the
Department; limited to two contract courses per student. Note that Honors courses taken
as part of a study abroad are counted as contract courses and contribute to the maximum
contract course credit limit.
Since an Honors course is fundamentally different from a non-Honors course, the
University Honors Program believes that the contract course option should be used as
infrequently as possible. These courses are, however, possible options for students whose
opportunities for obtaining the necessary credits to graduate with a University Honors
Program diploma are seriously limited.
The UHP also acknowledges that each department or program makes the final decision
whether or not to offer the ability to contract for Honors credits through a regular course
offering. In all cases, the Department Chair or Program Director, the course instructor,
the Honors student and the Honors Program Director must all agree to the proposal for
Honors credits through a contract course. PLEASE NOTE that the Biology Department
does not offer contract courses at this time.
Restrictions
The contract course option may be used only after the completion of 75 credit
hours
of coursework.
The contract course must be taken for a letter grade.
The student must earn a grade of B or higher to earn Honors credits.
A grade of B- or lower results in the course not counting for Honors credits.

Chaminade Scholars earn 6 Honors credit hours.

Year 1: REL 356 = 3 Honors credits
Year 3: ASI 358 = 3 Honors credits
Situations Where One Credit Hour of Coursework
Equals Less Than One Honors Credit
CORE completion earns 15 Honors credits.
Completing year 1, ASI 111-112 (12 credit hours) = 6 Honors credits

Completing year 2, three courses (9 credit hours) = 6 Honors credits

47

Completing year 3, Professional Ethics in a Global Community (3 credit hours)

= 3 Honors credits

Additional Ways to Earn Honors Credit Hours

Study Abroad: Students participating in a summer or semester study abroad experience
(with a minimum of 6 UD academic credit hours) earn 3 Honors credits per study abroad.
A maximum of two such study abroad experiences can be used to earn a total of 6 Honors
credits.
Honors credits for Honors courses successfully completed and taken as part of a study
abroad are counted separately; however, they are considered contract courses and
contribute to the maximum contract course limit of two.

Substantial scholarly activities in which no academic credit hours are earned.

o

o
o

The University Honors Program recognizes that many activities are fundamental
to the development of the emerging scholar for which no academic credit is
received. The Honors Program acknowledges these activities with Honors credits
that apply toward the requirements for the Honors and Honors with Distinction
diplomas.
Activities that may include a substantial scholarly component are (but not limited
to), for example, Spring Breakouts, cultural immersions, ETHOS participation
and research experiences for undergraduates. Likewise, participation in the above
activities does not necessarily result in the awarding of Honors credits.
At the discretion of the Honors Program leadership, non-academic credit
experiences may earn 1, 2 or 3 Honors credits. Approved activities will typically
earn 1 Honors credit, with the exceptional activity earning 2. In rare
circumstances, 3 Honors credits may be granted for an activity.
A maximum of 3 Honors credits may be applied to the requirements of the
Honors Program diploma through non-academic credit work.
Honors students interested in obtaining Honors credits for non-academic credit
work must request such consideration prior to the experience and must submit an
Honors Credits Application for Non-Academic Credit Work, including a letter of
support from a faculty advisor.

Minority Engineering Program

The Minority Engineering Program (MEP) helps support minorities engineering students. It is
open to African American, Hispanic American or Native American who want a career in
engineering. The students in this program are clustered together in their first-year chemistry,
physics and math classes. They also meet twice a week at enrichment workshops during the first
year. The students are assigned a junior or senior engineering student as a mentor to help them
adjust to campus life as well as a mentor from local industry. MEP students are required to
attend Professional and Team Building Development seminars their first year. The first semester
the seminar focuses on specific job functions of engineers. The second semester the focus is cooping and internships. The goal of MEP is to help minority students develop a circle of support
to help them succeed at their engineering studies.

Enriched Engineering Program

The Enriched Engineering Program (EEP) helps support students who are at the low end of our
acceptance criteria. The students in this program are clustered together in their first-year
chemistry, physics and math classes. See below for a listing of the potential clustered courses.
They are also clustered in EGR100 sections together. They are required to attend enrichment
workshops twice a week. Enrichment workshops give students an opportunity to study with their
peers with upper-class engineering students as facilitators. The facilitators are available to assist
the students with technical coursework. The goal is to help students develop both a solid
foundation in their engineering skills as well as a support structure to help them succeed at their
engineering studies.

Information for the New Chemical Engineering Student

Information we know you will find useful . . .

Enrichment Workshops . . .
These workshops are conducted once each week for 2 hours and are staffed by highly
motivated upper class engineering students (and monitored by a faculty member).
They provide a means for engineering students to work in a collaborative learning
environment with other first-year students and upper class engineering students.
This is a good way to exchange information, ideas, and sort out problems with respect
to courses - in particular calculus, physics, and chemistry.

If you fall behind in a course . . .

When you first become aware that you are falling behind in a course, you should
immediately see your instructor to arrange for extra help. All faculty members
maintain office hours so as to be available to students, but you must take the initiative
in asking for help. You are now in a professional course of study and you have a
responsibility to yourself to get the best education you possibly can. One can fall
behind in a course by cutting class or sleeping in class. You (or your parents) are
paying a lot of money for your education - get your money's worth by attending class
and getting help if you are having difficulty understanding any of the material.

Can I get individualized tutoring?

You have several options -- ask you instructor if he can recommend someone to help
you with private tutoring. Ask your advisor if he can make arrangements through the
department for individualized help. Or, check out the Learning Assistance Center
in Room 131 Gosiger Hall - they provide services to all students regardless of
ability or achievement level. Tau Beta Pi also offers regular tutoring hours. Signs
posting the hours and locations can be found in Kettering Labs. In addition, many
students gather in the chemical engineering lab in the Science Center to work and
study with each other.

Academic Regulations . . .
Become familiar with the academic regulations of the University of Dayton. The
University accepts no excuses for ignorance of these regulations. Be sure that you
know how to compute a GPA, and be sure that you know the prerequisites for the
courses that you must take. Additional information can be found at
