CHME-181
Chemical Engineering Insights I
1 Credits
This is the first course of a two-course sequence that provides the foundation for success in the chemical engineering program at RIT and the field of chemical engineering. This course provides a historical perspective on the origin of the discipline and an overview of the traditional and contemporary issues that chemical engineers address. Within this context, the course compares and contrasts the differing roles of chemical engineers and chemists in society. Additionally the course introduces the methodology chemical engineers use to solve problems, engineering ethics, and career options in chemical engineering.
CHME-499
Co-op
0 Credits
One semester of paid work experience in chemical engineering.
CHME-599
Independent Study
1 - 4 Credits
Allows upper-level undergraduate students an opportunity to independently investigate, under faculty supervision, aspects of the field of chemical engineering that are not sufficiently covered in existing courses. Proposals for independent study activities must be approved by both the faculty member supervising the independent study and the department head.
CHME-777
Graduate Internship
3 Credits
This course is used by students as a qualifying capstone experience to their M.S. degree. Students must submit a 1-page proposal for the internship, to be approved by an employing supervisor and the Chemical Engineering department prior to enrolling. The work may involve research and/or design project with demonstration of acquired knowledge. The project scope should be developed with the intent of being completed in a single academic semester. In all instances, an evaluation report submitted to the employing supervisor of the work is required to satisfy the capstone experience.
