Undergraduate Programs

Our Bachelor Degree Programs

Year 1 of our programs is designed to provide a fundamental background in all
areas of engineering.  Classroom lessons are reinforced with laboratory studies.

 

Chem.Eng Chemical Engineering is a 4-yr program. Students develop a strong foundation in basic sciences and have the opportunity to participate in courses aimed at developing problem solving, team, self-assessment and lifelong learning skills. the Department has identified a number of technical focus areas that link our teaching and research expertise and provide students with a package of courses that prepare them for specific industrial sectors and career paths

Engineering Co-op Students in our programs have the opportunity of applying for an industrial internship. If successful, the student typically is employed on industrial placement from the month of May following their third year in the academic program and return to school for Level 4 in September of the following year

Chem.Eng and Management This program combines Chemical Engineering with the core requirements of a Commerce degree. The resulting 5-yr course of study is the only discipline-specific, accredited undergraduate program of its kind in Canada. This program introduces concepts useful in managing the financial aspects of chemical engineering projects.

Chem.Eng and Society This program combines Chemical Engineering with a broader university experience. Building on the framework of the conventional engineering curriculum, this program offers a series of new core courses which examine the complex interactions between technology and society. In addition, a series of focused elective courses outside the Faculty of Engineeing are taken.

Chem Eng and Bioengineering This program is a unique 5-yr program offered leading to the degree Bachelor of engineering and Biosciences. It combines the core Chemical engineering undergraduate curriculum with courses from the life sciences (biology, human anatomy and physiology, biochemistry of macromolecules, cellular and molecular biology) as well as specific courses (bioreactors and bioseparations) related to bioengineering.

Students in the Chemical Engineering, Chemical Engineering and Management and Chemical Engineering and Society Programmes may also specialize in one of the following 'streams':

• Process Systems Engineering (PSE)
• Polymer Materials and Manufacturing (PMM)

Alternatively students may choose electives from the following list

• approved technical electives
  
• approved bioengineering electives
  
• list of Chemical Engineering courses
