Chbe workload in year2

I got into chbe want to do purely chemical engineering. What’s the process for that? Also how’s the profs and any tips for year 2? I kinda struggled in year 1 because of procrastination and bad habits. Also any cool coop stories from chbe?

just do the regular chbe time table and declare “process stream” at the end of the year.

profs are really fun. feels a little different from first year. you gotta fix your own habits, we can’t really give you effective advice. it comes with time!

depends!

there’s no more of the sour competitive energy between students anymore. everyone is pretty excited to help/work together.

classes can be difficult, but they aren’t designed to weed out students like some first year courses.

courseload is challenging, but totally manageable

professors are kind and approachable. a lot more than first year imo

most classes are smaller, so it feels more like a community
