NOTES:
¹	This course not included in 128-hour curriculum.
²	ENGR 1120 can be any programming language offering.
³	Students must apply to the CHE Fast-Track MS program by the end of their second junior term.
⁴	Three hours of Technical Electives can be from any of the following courses:
	a.	Any College of Engineering course at the 3000 or 4000 level.
	b.	Any BIOL/CHEM/MATH/PHYS at the 3000 or 4000 level.
	c.	CEE 2100
	d.	Any course with the prior approval of the ChE Undergraduate Program Coordinator.
	e.	Note that CEE 2100, BIOL 3200, and ECE 3810 cannot count both as a Technical Elective and as part of the CEE 2100/ECE 3810/BIOL 3200 option.
⁵	Three hours of ChE Technical Electives must come from one of the following courses:
