This program is offered by the Department of Chemical Engineering with the close cooperation of the Department of Chemistry. It is accredited by the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board as an engineering discipline, and the Canadian Society for Chemistry as a chemistry program. The curriculum integrates a core of chemistry with a body of engineering in a manner that allows chemical knowledge to be put into practice. Beginning with a concentration on basic engineering principles, science, and mathematics, courses in the latter years allow for specialization in three areas: Advanced Materials, Environmental Chemistry and Biosciences. A Biochemistry/Engineering Chemistry dual degree program is offered to students seeking further specialization in the Biosciences.

*Students are free to take these courses at any time in their programs that suits their interest, workloads and schedules.

Technical Electives

Science '03 students are required to take a minimum of 6 Technical Elective courses. A minimum of 108 units must be taken from the Group 'A' lists (any combination from the Materials, Environment, Biosciences, and General lists), and a minimum of 108 units must be taken from the Group 'B' list.

Science '04 and '05 students are required to take a minimum of 7 Technical Elective courses. A minimum of 4 courses must be taken from the Group 'A' lists (any combination from the Materials, Environment, Biosciences, and General lists), and a minimum of 3 courses must be taken from the Group 'B' list.

Complementary Studies

The minimum required Complementary Studies component for this program is 257 AU. This total includes Engineering Economics (COMM 244) 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).
