What is Process Systems Engineering (PSE)

Process Systems Engineering (PSE) provides knowledge and skills that enable engineers to analyze integrated processes using mathematical methods and computer tools.  PSE analysis is based on engineering fundamentals and seeks to design and operate systems that achieve desired steady-state and dynamic behaviours, including safety, consistent product quality and high profit.

Required Courses: ChE 4E03, ChE 4G03. ChE 4C03, ChE 4L02 (PSE laboratories completed), ChE 4W04 (with an approved PSE project). Other courses may be substituted with permission of the Department Chair.

Recommended technical electives outside ChE: Elect.Eng. 4CL4, Mech 4H03, Eng.Phys. 3W04

Students who complete the required courses and the technical electives, within the overall annual credit requirements, will be eligible to have a transcript notation denoting the completion of the elective stream.
