Academic Integrity at RutgersPrinciples of academic integrity require that every Rutgers University student:

• properly acknowledge and cite all use of the ideas, results, or words of others

• properly acknowledge all contributors to a given piece of work

• make sure that all work submitted as his or her own in a course or other academic activity isproduced without the aid of unsanctioned materials or unsanctioned collaboration

• obtain all data or results by ethical means and report them accurately without suppressing anyresults inconsistent with his or her interpretation or conclusions

• treat all other students in an ethical manner, respecting their integrity and right to pursue theireducational goals without interference. This requires that a student neither facilitate academicdishonesty by others nor obstruct their academic progress

• uphold the canons of the ethical or professional code of the profession for which he or she ispreparing.

Adherence to these principles is necessary in order to insure that:

• everyone is given proper credit for his or her ideas, words, results, and other scholarlyaccomplishments

• all student work is fairly evaluated and no student has an inappropriate advantage over others

• the academic and ethical development of all students is fostered

• the reputation of the University for integrity in its teaching, research, and scholarship ismaintained and enhanced.

Failure to uphold these principles of academic integrity threatens both the reputation of the Universityand the value of the degrees awarded to its students. Every member of the University communitytherefore bears a responsibility for ensuring that the highest standards of academic integrity are upheld.

Policy on Academic Integrity As an academic community dedicated to the creation, dissemination, and application of knowledge,

Rutgers University is committed to fostering an intellectual and ethical environment based on theprinciples of academic integrity. Academic integrity is essential to the success of the University’seducational and research missions, and violations of academic integrity constitute serious offensesagainst the entire academic community. This academic integrity policy is designed to guide students asthey prepare assignments, take examinations, and perform the work necessary to complete their degreerequirements.

The University administration is responsible for working with faculty and students to foster a stronginstitutional culture of academic integrity, for providing effective educational programs that create anunderstanding of and commitment to academic integrity and for establishing equitable and effectiveprocedures to deal with allegations of violations of academic integrity.

The faculty shares with the administration the responsibility for educating students about theimportance and principles of academic integrity. Faculty members are expected to inform students ofthe particular requirements regarding academic integrity within their specific courses, to makereasonable efforts to minimize academic dishonesty, and to respond appropriately to violations ofacademic integrity. Faculty members are strongly encouraged to provide a statement concerningacademic integrity and a link to the Academic Integrity Policy on their course syllabi.Students are responsible for understanding the principles of academic integrity and abiding by them inall aspects of their work at the University. Students are also encouraged to help educate fellow studentsabout academic integrity and to bring all alleged violations of academic integrity they encounter to theattention of the appropriate authorities.

Summary of Course Requirements The undergraduate program of study is fairly standard, combining required and elective courses. In theChemical and Biochemical Engineering Program, students are required to fulfill their general,humanities/social science, and technical elective requirements.

General Electives: Any course can be an acceptable general elective (except for those listedon page 15). Biochemical Option students are strongly advised to take General Biology I as ageneral elective.

Humanities/Social Science Electives: A list of acceptable humanities/social scienceelectives is included on pages 13-14. Take note of the college requirements for humanities/social

science electives on top of page 13.

Technical Electives: Math and science-related courses. See pages 10-12.

Special Problems (155:491, 492): Special Problems gives students the opportunity to dolaboratory research under the supervision of a departmental faculty member. Employers and graduateschools look for this experience. Students must contact faculty members directly to inquire about openresearch positions. The Special Problems Registration Form must be completed and returned to theUndergraduate Office before a special permission number will be issued. Only three credits each of491 and 492 are counted toward the 131 credits needed for graduation.

Process Engineering I and II (155:415, 416): All seniors are required to complete ProcessEngineering I and II in which laboratory unit operations of separations, heat transfer, mass transfer,momentum transfer, and control processes are taught. Students are required to do a series of teamprojects and present their results in a variety of written and oral formats.

Co-Op Program (155:496, 497): The Co-Op Program gives undergraduates the opportunityto earn degree credits while working in industry. Up to six co-op credits are accepted toward thegraduation requirements. Co-op credits count as technical or general electives. See page 22 for moreinformation.

The Major Average: Academic standing is often decided on the basis of your major average.

The courses that are included in the major average are marked M

on the curriculum sheets (pages 4-5). The degree of Bachelor of Science from the School of Engineering is not awarded to anycandidate whose university cumulate grade-point average is less than 1.800 or whosecumulative grade-point average in the major is less than 2.00.

Special Degree ProgramsMinor: Minors consist of approximately 18 credits. Refer to one or all of: the department, the RUcatalog, or departmental website for details on course selection and requirements. There are 2 formsrequired: Declaration and Certification of the minor. When you have decided to pursue the minor(sometime in your sophomore, junior, or perhaps senior year), fill out the Declaration of Minor form,and submit it at B-100.

The semester before graduation, fill out a form for Certification of Minor. The department from whichthe minor is obtained must sign the form and return it to B-100.

Double Engineering Majors: This option is rarely taken, but some students have elected to

simultaneously complete two engineering majors. Recent examples are Biomedical and MechanicalEngineering; and Chemical and Electrical/Computer Engineering. If you are interested, please consult aB100 dean for advice.

Double Major vs. Dual Degree: Double Major means that you must fulfill the ‘major requirements’as described for that department (refer to the Undergraduate catalog for details). Generally, a secondmajor is in the area of 30 credits. You would remain a School 14 student, but you would have thesecond major denoted on your transcript. Double majors do NOT appear on your diploma, but yourfinal official transcript will note the completion of the second major and you can market thisinformation on your resume. Once you are certain you would like to pursue this option, come intoB100 to fill out the application. There are 2 forms required: Declaration and Certification of the major. When you have decided to pursue the major (sometime in your sophomore, junior, or perhaps senioryear), see a Dean in B100 for assistance. The semester before graduation, fill out a form forCertification of Major.

Dual Degree means that you have to actually apply to the School of Arts and Sciences (SAS) and beaccepted. After you are accepted, you must fulfill all requirements for the BA for SAS. This is a moreinvolved process and includes additional work on top of the ~30 credits for the major. For example,SAS requires that you take additional non-western humanities courses, as well as completing a minor ina H/SS area IF you choose a technical major (like math or computer science) in your 2nd degree.Criteria for acceptance is the same as the criteria for a School-to-School Transfer. This application mustbe submitted during sophomore or junior year. Students who have 98+ credits and/or are in their finalyear are NOT eligible for the Dual Degree program. Follow guidelines for the school with which you

wish to pursue a Dual Degree (http://admissions.rutgers.edu/collegetocollege/). Consult the specificschool for more details. You would receive two separate degrees/diplomas, one from each school. Ifyou do not complete both degrees concurrently (example, you have a few classes left for you BA, andyou decide to graduate with just your BS from Engineering), you may NOT come back at a later date tofinish your remaining classes and obtain the second degree.

Five-Year B.S./M.B.A. Program: There are also combined BS/Masters programs (BS/MBA,BS/MBS, BS/MS). Rutgers School of Engineering students are eligible to apply for admission to a variety of accelerated Masters Programs. These prestigious programs allow students to complete a


18/35

18

masters degree in one extra year while simultaneously integrating an undergraduate engineeringexperience with that of a graduate program.

Combined B.S./M.S./M.E. Program (for current Rutgers CBE juniors ONLY):http://sol.rutgers.edu/academics.html

Co-Op Program What is a co-op program?

The co-op program allows you to take an apprenticeship-engineering job in industry at an appropriatetime during the pursuit of the B.S. degree in the discipline. The work period is usually between the juniorand senior year. The duration of the co-op program is a minimum of six continuous months of full-timeemployment. Partial credit cannot be issued.

What are the requirements?

The co-op program is different from that of an internship or other kinds of employment in that theco-op program requires: (1) the approval of the Undergraduate Director; (2) good academic standing

( !2.5 GPA required); (3) completion of fall semester junior-level courses; (4) a written report from thestudent upon completion of the co-op work experience; and (5) a brief evaluation of the student’s workfrom the immediate co-op supervisor upon completion of the co-op work experience (the evaluationmust be sent directly to the Undergraduate Director).

Students must complete and return the registration form to the Undergraduate Secretary before specialpermission numbers will be issued for registration.

How many credits are allowed?

A maximum of six (6) credits are allowed toward the 131 credits required for graduation. Students aregiven six credits (pass/fail) for six continuous months of successful engineering-related work in anapproved job. The course numbers for co-op are 14:155:496 and 14:155:497.

How do I look for a co-op position?

You are encouraged to look for the co-op position on your own. However, you can also meet with youradvisor to ask for co-op job leads. Co-op positions are e-mailed to students when available. You canalso contact Career Services.

Should I participate in the co-op program?

If you prefer experimental and practical work to theoretical work, and if you like to work with people (orseeking the experience of working with people), the co-op experience is for you. If you need money topay for your education, participation in the co-op program is a way to help alleviate your financialproblems. Employers and graduate schools value this experience.

Can I get a job on campus for co-op credits?


23/35

23

In general, no. Co-op credits are those earned from industrial jobs. If you are interested in doingresearch, register for 155:491 and 155:492, the special problems course. These do not count as co-opcredits

The Chemical and BiochemicalEngineering Profession

Chemical and biochemical engineering began as an offspring of chemistry and biochemistry and hasevolved into a distinct discipline in which industrial processes for making thousands of chemical andbiochemical products are economically designed through the inter-disciplinary application ofchemistry, mathematics, physics, and biology.

In chemical engineering, there is an emphasis on application of transport phenomena, kinetics andthermodynamics, phase equilibria, and computer-controlled systems in process engineering and plantdesign. Chemical engineering further includes process safety, polymer science, environmentaltechnology, and many other areas that are needed for the safe production of the wide variety ofchemical compounds used in industry.

In biochemical engineering, principles of biology are applied, along with relevant parts from the chemicalengineering field, to the design and operation of bioprocesses. The biochemical engineering fieldembraces the areas of immunotechnology, protein engineering, tissue engineering, artificial organs,bioseparations, insect, fungal and plant cell biotechnology, and bio-informatics.

The job of the chemical and biochemical engineer is often to transform inventions and new scientificknowledge into applications that benefit and promote human welfare. This is done by taking rawmaterials and safely transforming them by means of physical, chemical, or biological processes intouseful intermediates or finished products replete with the necessary and sufficient environmentalsafeguards. Typical products are plastics, petrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, food, and energy fuels.Because of the great versatility of the trained chemical or biochemical engineer, due in part to the

expertise acquired in biochemical as well as chemical and mechanical (physical) systems, opportunitiesin diverse fields such as medicine are open to graduates. Careers in patent-law, environmental-law,finance and business are also available.
