Enviornmental Engineering (IP) Honors in a Major Program

The ENE(IP) program offers an Honors in Major program which is open to all students in ENE (IP) with a GPA of 3.2 or higher.  The Honors in Major programs requires 12 credits of honors course work in the major and a 4 credit thesis experience.  This means that at least three 4 credit courses  or four 3 credit courses need to be completed at the honors level.  The following required courses may be designated as honors courses

In addition, the following elective courses can be designated as honors courses.

To designate a course as an honors course, the student meets with the instructor during pre-registration and together they determine the honors experience expected for the course.  Shortly after the course begins, the student completes an Honors Designation form which is signed by the instructor and the department Honors Liaison (Dr. Russell Carr) and delivered to the Registration Office. 

Students can complete the Honors thesis requirement in one of two ways.  The student can work with a faculty mentor on a research project and registers for 4 credits of ChE 695 Chemical Engineering Project.  Alternatively, the student can designate Industrial Process Design (ENE 708) as an honors class and independently complete the National AIChE Student Design Problem in thirty days.  A brief proposal indicating the objectives of the project, the faculty mentor and how the thesis will be presented is to be submitted to the department liaison when the thesis is chosen. 

Please direct any questions about the honors in major program in ENE (IP) to the department’s honors liaison, Dr. Russell Carr (862-1429).
