<p>I’ll just put it this way: ChemE is straight up superior to Chemistry. People say, ChemE learn different skills. No they don’t. They learn superior skills.</p>
<p>Here’s what ChemE have to take.</p>
<p>1 year general chemistry, 1 year organic chemistry, 1 year physical chemistry, all their labs, math/physics prereqs, 1 year of mass balance + thermo, 1 year of transport phenomena, 1 reaction kinetics class, 1 process dynamics class, 1 design class, 1 separations class, 2 labs, 3 electives and a senior design off the top of my head.</p>
<p>Chemistry takes the exact same:</p>
<p>1 year general chemistry, 1 year organic chemistry, 1 year physical chemistry, all their labs, math/physics prereqs</p>
<p>but needs only 2 classes of theoretical inorganic chemistry/lab, 2 classes of instrumental analysis/lab, and 5 electives selected from Chemistry, Chemical Engineering or Physics, 3 of which must be Chemistry, 2 of which must be labs and 2 of which must be lectures.</p>
<p>ChemE needs 16 classes beyond the gchem/ochem/pchem/math/physics core. Chem needs 9 classes beyond the gchem/ochem/pchem/math/physics core. They’re not even on the same level.</p>
