 The 4-year plans below are for students starting out in Calc I their first semester at Michigan Tech.
The minimum organic chemistry requirement is CH2400, a 4 credit organic chemistry class that combines elements of the six credit sequence CH2410 and CH2420. It is not sufficient to take just CH2410, which is 3 credits. If you wish to take MORE organic chemistry, you may take the 6-credit sequence CH2410 and CH2420. The extra two credits counts as chemistry technical electives.
If you take CH2400 and decide at a later date that you wish to take the second semester CH2420, you may do so. In this case, all 3 credits from CH2420 will count as chemistry technical electives. Dr. Morrison has a list of topics on her FAQ page that you may wish to study if you decide to take CH2420 after taking CH2400.
All students are encouraged to take a full year of organic chemistry, since about 90% of the reactions chemical engineers uses in practice are organic reactions. Students who are interested in bioprocess engineering, polymer engineering, pharmaceuticals, or chemical manufacturing are especially encouraged to take a full year of organic chemistry, since knowledge of organic chemistry in these areas is critical.
4-Year Academic Plan, with one semester of organic chemistry (pdf) - This plan is for students taking one semester organic chemistry and offers the most flexibility with your technical electives. This plan is especially good for students planning to minor in Mineral Processing.
4-Year Academic Plan, with two semesters of organic chemistry (pdf) - This plan is for students taking two semesters of organic chemistry and is recommended to all students. This plan is especially good for students planning to minor Polymer Science and Engineering or Bioprocess Engineering.
