  3. Departmental Honors Requirements • Departmental Honors in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering requires the following sequence of courses totaling 8 credit hours: • CHE 3000 Honors Seminar 1 (1) • CHE 3950 Honors Research I 3 (9) • CHE 4950 Honors Research II 3 (9) • CHE 4970 Honors Thesis 1 (1) • Students in the Chemical Engineering Departmental Honors program will conduct a major research project under the direction of a faculty member and write an honors thesis. In the first semester of the junior year honors students take CHE 3000. To earn this pass/fail credit honors students attend the department's CHE 8950 graduate seminar and meet individually with faculty members to learn about research opportunities in chemical engineering. By the end of the semester students select a research topic and faculty advisor. In the next two semesters honors students take CHE 3950 and CHE 4950. In these lab courses the students conduct research, write progress reports, and review their results periodically with their faculty advisor. In CHE 4950 each student presents a seminar before the faculty, graduate students and other honors students taking CHE 3000. In the last semester of the senior year the student registers for CHE 4970 and writes an honors thesis. With the approval of the faculty research advisor the exact timing of the honors sequence can be adjusted to accommodate students who are also involved in the cooperative education program. • Honors Recognition • General Honors is recognized by a certificate of completion upon graduation from Clemson.
