▪ Most engineering students will start at MC missing one or more re-requisites for CHEM 131, CHEM
132, CHEM 135, ENGL 102, ENES 100, and MATH 181.
ADVISING NOTES FOR CHEMICAL ENGINEERING
▪ The appropriate initial chemistry courses will be determined by the student’s score on the Chemistry
Placement exam, mathematics level, AP/IB credits, or transfer credits. Possible courses include CHEM
099, CHEM 131, CHEM 132, or CHEM 135. Either CHEM 132 or CHEM 135 satisfies the required
chemistry credit for UMCP. CHEM 131-132 satisfies the required chemistry credit for UMBC, but CHEM
135 does not.
▪ The pre-requisite for ENGL 102 is ENGL 101 or ENGL 101A. English course placement is determined
by the Accuplacer English/Reading Test.
▪ The co-requisite for ENES 100 is MATH 165 or higher.
▪ The pre-requisite for MATH 181 is MATH 165 (Precalculus). Mathematics initial course placement will
be determined by the Accuplacer Math Test, AP/IB credit, or transfer credits.
▪ UMCP’s courses CHBE 101, 250, 301, and 302 are courses for which MC has no equivalents. CHBE
101, 250, and 301 must be completed for junior standing at UMCP.
