Chemical Engineering

Chemical engineering is concerned with industrial processes involving chemical and physical changes. Chemical engineers create what has never been by using their fundamental knowledge of the basic sciences, their engineering training and an appreciation of economics. During their careers, chemical engineering graduates face the challenge of contemporary problems in pollution control, energy conversion, process sustainability and food processing. The Department of Chemical Engineering can provide the knowledge to help solve those problems.

There is a wide spectrum of opportunities for the chemical engineer in process development, pilot plant experimentation, process design, and operation of chemical plants, as well as in the development of new technologies and new materials. Other areas include corporate development, analysis of market opportunities, of competitive processing methods and of process economics.

Chemical engineers can find employment in the chemical, petro-chemical, energy, petroleum, biotechnology, food, textile, paper and pharmaceutical industries as well as in government regulatory bodies or research agencies. In these areas, they can function as a process or project engineer, manager, researcher, teacher, technical consultant, or become involved in technical sales.

In the Department of Chemical Engineering, the first year provides a strong foundation in chemistry, mathematics and physics. In second year, the student specializes in chemistry and chemical engineering and takes courses in mathematics, economics and engineering graphics. A complementary studies elective requirement must also be satisfied.

In the third and fourth years, students concentrate more heavily on chemical engineering. Courses in complementary studies, including communication skills, are also included.

The Department of Chemical Engineering also offers formal options in environmental engineering and in engineering management and entrepreneuship, as well as a new combined program which allows students to obtain a BASc in chemical engineering and a BSc in computing technology in only five years. In addition, in collaboration with the Department of Biochemistry, it offers the combined biochemistry / chemical engineering program in biotechnology, which allows students to obtain two degrees (a BASc in chemical engineering and a BSc in biochemistry) after only five years of study. A co-operative program with industry is also offered, starting at the end of the second year of studies.

This program, leading to the degree of Baccalaureate of Applied Science in Chemical Engineering, is recognized by the Canadian Society for Chemical Engineering, the Professional Engineers of Ontario, and the Ordre des ingénieurs du Québec.

The baccalaureate program in chemical engineering is accredited by the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board of the Canadian Council of Professional Engineers.


The Department of Chemical Engineering houses the Industrial Membrane Research Institute, which is engaged in fundamental and applied aspects of membrane research.

Engineering Management and Entrepreneurship option

150


The engineering management and entrepreneurship option will appeal to students interested in managing their own enterprise. These skills are also important for engineers who are working in teams on both large and small-scale projects, as they need to be able not only to design a product or process but also to market it effectively to both their technical and administrative associates.


Entrepreneurs are knowledgeable about the legal, financial, and administrative procedures involved when starting up new companies comprising like-minded individuals and they are aware of the pitfalls involved. In this option students take the bulk of their complementary studies requirements from the School of Management, starting in second year.

BASc in Chemical Engineering / BSc in Computing Technology

181


The combined program in chemical engineering and computing technology is offered jointly by the Department of Chemical Engineering and the School of Information Technology and Engineering (SITE). The program’s goal is to provide a strong background for a career in chemical engineering along with a solid foundation in computing technology. As a result of this innovative curriculum, graduates will have the same preparation as students in the regular chemical engineering program, as well as training in software engineering, computer hardware, programming languages and operating systems, expert systems, networks, process modelling and simulation, and instrumentation and actuation. This training will allow graduates not only to compete on the job market but also to excel in their careers.
The combined program requires five years of study and leads to two degrees: the BASc in chemical engineering and the BSc in computing technology. The program can also be completed under the co-operative education option.
The BASc in chemical engineering is recognized by the Canadian Society for Chemical Engineering, the Engineering Institute of Canada, the Professional Engineers of Ontario, the Ordre des ingénieurs du Québec, and the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board of the Canadian Council of Professional Engineers.

Admission to the program is limited. To remain in the program, students must satisfy Faculty regulations.

BASc in Chemical Engineering / BSc with concentration in Biochemistry

185


The program in biochemistry and chemical engineering is organized jointly by the departments of Biochemistry and Chemical Engineering and provides its graduates with a strong background for a career in either of these two disciplines or in the rapidly developing field of biotechnology itself.
Biotechnology includes the large-scale isolation and industrial use of enzymes; the industrial application of genetic engineering; the production of industrially or medically valuable substances by cell culture or microbial fermentation; food processing by biochemical techniques; industrial waste treatment and by-product recovery by biochemical or microbial methods, and other areas.
The combined program requires five years of study and leads to two degrees: a BSc with concentration or honours in biochemistry, and a BASc in chemical engineering. Students fulfill the requirements of both departments by careful choice of electives, and by one summer of full-time study between the fourth and fifth years for those students who complete the BSc honours. (The summer term is not required for those completing the BSc with concentration.) Entry into graduate studies in biochemistry or chemical engineering requires an honours BSc or BASc, respectively, with a minimum second-class standing. The BASc in chemical engineering is recognized by the Canadian Society for Chemical Engineering, the Engineering Institute of Canada, the Association of Professional Engineers of Ontario, the Ordre des ingénieurs du Québec, and the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board of the Canadian Council of Professional Engineers. Admission to the program is limited. Students who complete the required threshold courses for biochemistry with good marks may apply for entry into the Department of Biochemistry option for the combined program, subject to the approval of both departments. Such students will have to take an additional course in second year (CHG 1120 Introduction to Chemical Engineering); therefore, it is strongly recommended that applicants for the combined program take this course in the first year. To remain in the combined program, students must satisfy Faculty regulations that apply to both science programs and engineering programs. After the third year, students have the following alternatives:
a) they may graduate with the BSc honours in biochemistry in their fourth year and then transfer
to the Department of Chemical Engineering for completion of the BASc during one summer and their fifth year;
b) they may complete the BSc with concentration in biochemistry and then transfer to the Department of Chemical Engineering for the additional two years required to complete the BASc.

All students with concentration in biochemistry are eligible to enter the co-operative program in chemical engineering.
