Chemical engineers study the principles of chemistry, biology, physics, mathematics and economics to design, develop and operate processes for the production of food, fuel, energy, clothing, medicines, cosmetics, plastics, polymers, fertilizer, chemicals, consumer goods and materials. Today’s chemical engineers are spearheading innovations in pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, high-performance advanced materials and devices, alternative energy, consumer products, composites, manufacturing, and environmental solutions. Chemical Engineers works to engineer the chemistry of people’s lives.

The objective of the Chemical Engineering program is to teach students fundamental principles to design commercial processes to transform raw materials, living cells and microorganisms from the environment into useful consumer products at minimum cost in a safe way, and return spent products and by-products to the environment in an ecologically sustainable manner. In Year 3, students opt for one of the two options:

General Chemical Engineering Option This option explores traditional chemical engineering processes and applications. Through technical electives, students will have the opportunity to explore emerging topics in the field of catalysis, energy, water, materials, pharmaceuticals, polymers, oil processing, instrumentation and control.

Biochemical and Environmental Engineering Option This option provides students with a strong foundation in the fundamentals of biochemical and environmental processes. Students learn how to integrate engineering principles with knowledge of applied biology to design advanced biochemical systems for industrial environmental and biomedical applications. Through technical electives, students will have the opportunity to explore emerging topics in fields of biotechnology, biomedical engineering, bioenergy, biomaterials, bio-separation and environmental engineering.
