Program Requirements
The discipline of chemical engineering is distinctive in being based equally on physics, mathematics and chemistry. Application of these three fundamental sciences is basic to a quantitative understanding of the process industries. Those with an interest in the fourth major science, biology, will find several courses in the chemical engineering curriculum which integrate aspects of the biological sciences relevant to process industries such as food processing, fermentation, biomedical and water pollution control. Courses on the technical operations and economics of the process industries are added to this foundation. The core curriculum concludes with process design courses taught by practising design engineers. Problem-solving, experimenting, planning and communication skills are emphasized in courses throughout the core curriculum.
Certain students who take advantage of summer session courses can complete the departmental program in three calendar years.
In some cases students from university science disciplines have sufficient credits to complete the requirements for the B.Eng. (Chemical) program in two years. Those concerned should discuss this with their adviser.
Students must obtain a grade of C or better in all core courses. For the Department of Chemical Engineering, core courses include all required courses (departmental and non-departmental) as well as complementary courses (departmental).
Note to CEGEP students
If you have successfully completed a course at CEGEP that is equivalent to CHEM 212 or CHEM 234, you may request exemption for either or both courses. However, you must replace each course with another university-level course of an equal number of credits or more 聳 9I制作厂免费 courses beginning with subject codes ATOC, BIOL, CHEM, EPSC, ESYS, PHYS are acceptable substitutes.
Required Year 0 (Freshman) Courses
30 credits
Generally, students admitted to Engineering from Quebec CEGEPs are granted transfer credit for these Year 0 (Freshman) courses (except FACC 100).
For information on transfer credit for French Baccalaureate, International Baccalaureate exams, Advanced Placement exams, Advanced Levels and Science Placement Exams, see and select your term of admission.
