I am a junior chemical engineering student and I have one engineering elective to pick. The two choices are Unit 
Operations Lab II (I am already going to take Unit Ops I) or Applied Math for Chemical Engineering. I don’t have room to take both.
Which one should I pick? Why? Which is more useful?

it depends on what you want to do after college. if you want to work, then i’d say do unit ops lab 2 – then on your resume you can list the many hands on applications you did in that class. if you are planning on going to grad school for a masters in chem eng, consider taking the math course, as alot of the courses you would be taking as a grad student deal heavily with math

Both electives are important but you should weight which one is your priority? take the course outline of unit ops 2 and applied math and weigh according to importance, if you are in doubt seek the help of the seniors and the your teachers, ask them. But the final decision is yours to take.

hi
im also chemical engg. u should choose Unit operation lab. bcecause it helps u 2 improve your practical knowledge

I would take the Unit Operations Lab II. Knowing how unit operations work and their correlations are very fundamental to any chemical engineer, even to those who are conducting graduate studies. Pure Math Courses are usually irrelavent and will not be utilized nearly as much as a unit operations course.
