Process Engineering Courses

Get started on your college process early. Here's how:
1. Start researching colleges by visiting, attending information sessions, reviewing websites, attending college fairs and getting on college mailing lists. While attending local college fairs, find some that appeal to you. Start considering criteria such as academic programs, location, cost, and size of school, retention rate, campus life and housing.
2. Keep your grade point average up. Take courses that are challenging and part of a strenuous curriculum. See what your high school offers and take harder classes that are part of a college prep curriculum.
3. Learn about community service and internship opportunities in your area that are in your field of interest. Talk to other students and adults to see if they have additional ideas. Network with those you know.
4. Get to know your school counselor, as he/she will be writing college recommendations for you. Think about questions you want to ask, visit their office and see what materials are available. Most school counselors are extremely busy with little time so set an appointment if necessary.
5. Take the SAT/ACT in your junior year. Test date calendars can be found at http://www.collegeboard.com and http://www.act.org. Do practice and prepare. Some colleges require SAT Subject Exams - so you should become familiar with those and learn the admission requirements of the colleges where you are applying
6. Discuss money. Will you need financial aid? Has your family saved money for your college education? Remember, the college will determine the true cost of college where you will attend. Some private colleges give their own scholarships and grants so you want to investigate the options.
7.Stay involved in extracurricular activities. Just select a few that tie in with your interests - Do things you like and stick with it - depth and continuity are impressive on a college application. Volunteer, but not with too many organizations.

I Need Course Suggestions!!?
I am a junior chemical engineering student who is looking to go into the process control engineering field. I am doing my senior project in this topic as well. I was wondering what engineering electives to take to complement my career interests.
My options are:
An electrical engineering course (I already have an intro to EE course)
A mechanics course (statics, dynamics)
Or something else outside my major.
Also, I was wondering if I should substitute the senior Unit Operations Lab course for one of the courses I mentioned above and take two electives outside my major instead of one.
For process control engineering,
you want to get the EE credits, without a doubt.
Actually, I'm surprised that is not in you major.
Make sure you take an EE coarse in control theory
that also uses Matlab/Simulink within the coarse.
(assuming you have not already used those tools)
Common entrance for medical, engineering courses
