New: 1-26-11 When the course changed from senior
year to the junior year, we did not change the pre-reqs. However with
listing ChEn 3006 and 3102 as concurrent we thought it would cover ChEn 2001,
3005 and 3101. Students have not interpreted it the way we meant it.
LLE 11/20/09 Updating pre-reqs to reflect the need for
Writ 1301 or equiv. LLE 6/29/09 Chem 2121 was mistakenly listed
as concurrent pre-req for ChEn 3401w and Chem 2311 was omitted when the course
