Chemical Engineering and Applied Chemistry

UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAM IN CHEMICAL ENGINEERING (AECHEBASC) Undergraduate Student Counsellor Ms Jane Park Room 216A, Wallberg Building, 416-978-5336 Email: ugrad.chemeng@utoronto.ca Chemical Engineering is that primary engineering discipline based on the fundamental sciences of chemistry, physics, biochemistry and mathematics, in which processes are conceived, designed and operated to effect compositional changes in materials of all kinds. Chemical engineers play an important role in the development of a healthier environment and safer and healthier industrial workplaces. They develop new industrial processes that are more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly and create products that improve the quality of life. They are responsible for improvements in technologies and in evaluating and controlling hazards. In addition to the basic sciences, chemical engineers use a well-defined body of knowledge in the application of the conservation laws which determine mass flow and energy relations; thermodynamics and kinetics which determine whether reactions are feasible and the rate at which they occur; and the chemical engineering rate laws which determine limits to the transfer of heat, mass and momentum. Graduating chemical engineers are skilled problem solvers. A strong background in applied chemistry furnishes the chemical engineer with the knowledge to participate in the broadest range of engineering activities, and indeed to pursue other professional careers in management, medicine, law, teaching and government. Instruction in important aspects of economic analysis is also included. In the Fall Session of Fourth Year, students participate in small teams in either the design of a chemical plant. 4th year students may undertake an individual full year research project. This project, the culmination of which is a thesis, serves in many cases as an introduction to research, and provides an opportunity to apply the principles developed during the first three years of the program to problems of engineering interest. A thesis project may, for example, concern an experimental laboratory investigation, the design of a process, or a computer study of a complex chemical system. The Technical Elective subjects available in the Third and Fourth Years cover a wide range of fundamental and application areas of Chemical Engineering and Applied Chemistry. By choosing electives from a restricted list, it is possible for students to complete the requirements for a Minor in Bioengineering, Environmental Engineering or Sustainable Energy. A minor signifies that a student has gained an enhanced understanding of a specific field of study. For more information on the various Minors, please see the sections of the Calendar relating to these programs

ENGINEERING MINOR ELIGIBLE COURSES
Students interested in pursuing an Engineering Minor (six courses) will find detailed information at the beginning of this chapter. By selecting courses that meet the requirements of both the Chemical Engineering Program and the respective minor, it is possible for a student to complete the minor during the normal course of study. If a student chooses to undertake a thesis within the area of an engineering minor, it may count for 2 of the six required credits. Students wishing to select engineering minor eligible courses that are not in the table of approved courses below, must take those courses as Extra courses for degree purposes.

GRADUATE PROGRAMS IN CHEMICAL ENGINEERING

The Department of Chemical Engineering and Applied Chemistry, provides exciting opportunities for students who would like to pursue advanced studies beyond the undergraduate level toward the M.Eng., M.A.Sc. or Ph.D. degrees. More than 20 graduate level courses toward the study requirement of the degree programs are offered by the Department. Financial support is provided to graduate students through research grants and/or fellowships, together with some undergraduate teaching in the laboratories. Undergraduate students interested in postgraduate programs are invited to discuss research activities and graduate studies in the Department with any member of staff at any stage of their undergraduate program. Further information may also be obtained from the Coordinator of Graduate Studies, Department of Chemical Engineering and Applied Chemistry, Room 212, Wallberg Building and from the Calendar of the School of Graduate Studies.
