Advising News
August 2009
Advising news is taken from the undergraduate student handbook. There are no significant changes in the 2009 addition of the undergraduate handbook to post on this page.
August 2008
The prerequisites of CH E 350 have changed to: Prerequisite: CH E 220; Prerequisite or concurrent: CH E 330. The change is effective Spring 2009 but students in Fall 2008 will be allowed to take CH E 330 and 350 concurrently by written permission of the course instructor.
Effective Fall 2008, the following courses are dropped from the Bioprocess and Biomolecular Engineering Option: BMB 474, BIOL 472, MICRM 201. Students who have taken these courses prior to Fall 2008 will receive credit for them. If you were planning to take any of these courses in Fall 08, choose another course from the Bioprocess and Biomolecular course list.
A B E courses are renamed B E
EGEE 410 is now EGEE 420
Spring 2007
The curriculum described in this guide is the so-called "2005 Curriculum" and applies to students admitted to Penn State in summer 2005 and thereafter. Students admitted before summer 2005 are subject to different graduation requirements. If you were at Penn State before summer 2005 or if you transferred to Penn State and your semester standing in Fall 2005 was sophomore or higher, this Handbook does not apply to you - see your adviser for clarifications.
All CH E courses in the 2005 curriculum have been renumbered but the new numbers may not appear in the books for a while. For a correspondence between the old and new numbers. See the required courses page in the curriculum section.

CH E courses to get new numbers in Sp 2006 (posted 10/06/05)
Effective spring 2006, most CH E course numbers will change. For the most part this
is only a change in course number and course title, otherwise the new
courses are equivalent to the old ones. To find out what the new numbers
are, please see Updates to 2004 Curriculum or ChE Curriculum 2004 p.d.f.
Which Curriculum do I follow? (date posted 10/06/05)
The answer is based on your pool semester:
- students in the pool of Spring 2006 or earlier, should follow the Curriculum 2004.
- students in the pool of Spring 2007 and later should follow Curriculum 2005.
For more information, see the appropriate Advising Handbook.
