  • Chemical Engineering combines the principles of mathematics, chemistry, and physics with engineering practices in order to improve the human environment.
  • The first and second years of study are common to all engineering students. Students will choose to focus on a specific engineering discipline in their third year of study.
  • Students have the option to choose to complete the 5-year co-op Program or the 4-year non-co-op program.
  • Co-op students take the same academic program as the non-co-op program, however, the co-op option gives students an opportunity to complement their studies with 3 paid work terms.
