Degree Programs

Program Overview

The coursework for chemical engineering students includes a focus on the fundamental science principles in chemistry, mathematics, and physics, with a further emphasis on the chemical engineering fundamentals of material and energy balances, thermodynamics, transport phenomena, and kinetics. Chemical engineering teachers also stress the importance of design and creative problem-solving methods using modern engineering tools such as spreadsheets, symbolic equation processors and process simulators.

Students carry out hands-on application of theory and concepts in laboratories, learn the importance of teamwork and develop oral and written communication skills. By participating in cooperative education programs and internships, students gain work experience, job knowledge and valuable career contacts in their field.
