Engineering Concentration 39-48
These four electives define a concentrated area of study in one of the following designated concentrations: biomedical engineering, energy, environmental studies, or materials process and design. In all cases, the electives must be chosen with the approval of the student's advisor and the department. Lists of recommended subjects for each concentration are available from the department. Note that subjects that have been used to satisfy the foundational concepts may not also be counted toward the engineering concentration.  
Capstone 12
Choose one of the following options to obtain 12 units of capstone experience: Senior Thesis, Integrated Chemical Engineering or Integrated Chemical Engineering Topics modules, or Senior Project.  
Option 1  
10.ThU Undergraduate Thesis, 12
  
Option 2. Any combination of the following:  
10.490 Integrated Chemical Engineering I, 8; 10.37
  
10.491 Integrated Chemical Engineering II, 8; 10.490

Total Units Beyond the GIRs Required for SB Degree
183-198
No subject can be counted both as part of the 17-subject GIRs and as part of the 183-198 units required beyond the GIRs. Every subject in the student's departmental program will count toward one or the other, but not both.
Notes
  
*Alternate prerequisites are listed in the subject description. 
(1) Subject may be of particular interest for energy concentration.
(2) Subject may be of particular interest for biomedical engingeering concentration.
(3) Subject may be of particular interest for materials process and design concentration.
(4) Subject may be of particular interest for environmental studies concentration.
