Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering students typically study abroad in the spring of their sophomore year. Please note Chemical Engineering students can only take one out-of-major technical elective towards their degree requirements. In addition, spring semester sophomore chemical engineering students typically do not have the pre-requisites to take upper level CHBE courses while abroad. This means most Chemical Engineering students should anticipate taking only 3 courses towards their degree requirements while abroad.

Due to the nature of this program, there is a chance that while Nanyang Technological University offers the above courses each Spring, they could have a time conflict or students may not be able to enroll in all of their desired classes. Students should be prepared that they may need to take a summer course after studying abroad to catch up.
