The second year of the Chemical Engineering program introduces students to fundamental chemical engineering concepts, while strengthening knowledge in chemistry and mathematics. Students gain hands-on experience with chemical process equipment in laboratory courses, which begin in second year and continue through the fourth year. Specialization in areas such as biochemical engineering, environmental engineering and computer process control begins in third year. Business skills (effective communication, process economics and project management) are developed in both third and fourth years. Multidisciplinary projects in the fourth year are aimed at solving industrial problems, which are posed and supervised by practicing engineers from manufacturing and consulting organizations.

Technical Electives

Students can choose Technical Elective courses from Group A and B described below. The requirements are as follows:

Science '05 students must take a minimum of 216 units of which 108 must be taken from Group A.

Science '04 students must take a minimum of 270 units of which 108 must be from Group A. All students must take a chemistry elective. They can either take CHEE 323 from the Group A list, or any course from the “Applied Chemistry” list in Group B to satisfy this requirement.

Science '02 and '03 students must take a minimum of 234 units of which 72 must be taken from Group A. All students must take a chemistry elective. They can either take CHEE 323 from the Group A list, or any course from the "Applied Chemistry" list in Group B to satisfy this requirement.

NOTE: Some courses are only offered in alternate years, and some courses carry prerequisites.

Complementary Studies

The minimum required Complementary Studies component for this program is 273 AU. This total includes Engineering Economics (CHEE 410) and Communications (CHEE 301) in the core program.  In addition, students complete 42 AU of Linkage and Professional Issues normally taken in the first Year (APSC 190), and 102 AU chosen from approved Lists A, B or C, of which at least 72 AU must be taken from List A (refer to the Complementary Studies section of this Calendar for the approved lists).
