Department of Chemical Engineering

Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering

General Institute Requirements (GIRs)

The General Institute Requirements include a Communication Requirement that is integrated into both the HASS Requirement and the requirements of each major; see details below.

Summary of Subject Requirements Subjects
Science Requirement 6
Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences (HASS) Requirement; at least two of these subjects must be designated as communication-intensive (CI-H) to fulfill the Communication Requirement. 8
Restricted Electives in Science and Technology (REST) Requirement [can be satisfied from among 5.12, 5.07[J] or 7.05, 5.60, 10.301, and 18.03 in the Departmental Program] 2
Laboratory Requirement (12 units) [can be satisfied by 5.310] 1
Total GIR Subjects Required for SB Degree 17

Physical Education Requirement
Swimming requirement, plus four physical education courses for eight points.

Departmental Program

Choose at least two subjects in the major that are designated as communication-intensive (CI-M) to fulfill the Communication Requirement.
