CHEM 4221 Introduction to Polymer Chemistry Reactivated. Chemistry is undoing the changes they made last year. completed
2009-7-10
CHEN 3401W Junior Chemical Engineering Lab This is the old course CHEN 4401W. It needed to show up as a new course so that the old and new courses could be given in the same semester as part of the transition plan. New Course Proposal This proposal also corrects some issues with prerequisites in the original plan.
See below from Raul Caretta

Chemical Engineering post-2011 Course Plan In the pre-2011 course plan, the course CHEN 4401W was taught in the Fall semester and was a prerequisite for the Spring semester CHEN 4402W. Both courses were part of the senior year curriculum. Among others, CHEN 4401W had CHEM 4121 and CHEM 2311 as a prerequisites and consequently all those courses were prerequisites of CHEN 4402W.

In the new post-2011 course plan, CHEN 4402W is called CHEN 3401W and is taught in the Spring semester of the junior year. This course, CHEN 3401W, should have CHEM 4121 (now called CHEM 2121) and CHEM 2311 as prerequisites (and it currently does NOT have them, it has CHEM 2121 concurrent).

I am requesting to make CHEM 4121 (now called CHEM 2121) and CHEM 2311 as prerequisites of CHEN 3401W. All other prerequisites listed in the catalog for CHEN 3401W are correct.

Proposal Changes: New:  eliminate lab as internal component of course
reduce credits 4 to 3.  Words "integral lab" were not eliminated from the course description.  No change except that.  

On the update, this course will actually be offered each Fall.  It was erroneously changed to every Spring.  Corrected above.  On 9/2/2009, the enforced prerequisite was changed to allow graduate students to enroll.
