Program Requirements
Program credit weight: 143 credits
Program credit weight for Quebec CEGEP students: 114 credits
Program credit weight for out-of-province students: 143 credits
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 fundamental science, biology, will find several courses in the chemical engineering curriculum that 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 and a half 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 technical complementary courses.
Note to CEGEP students
If you have successfully completed a course at CEGEP that is equivalent to CHEM 212 or CHEM 234, you may obtain transfer credits for either or both courses by passing the 缅北强奸 Science Placement Exam for the course(s). You must complete an application form available on the Science Placement Exam website and an application fee will be charged to your student account. Science placement exams take place in August and September before classes begin. If you pass the exam(s), transfer credits for the course(s) will be reflected on your transcript and your program credit requirements will be decreased to reflect these transfer credits. For information on Science Placement Exams, including application deadlines, the application form, application fee, dates, times, and location of the exams, see . If you do not pass the placement exams, you must register for CHEM 212 and CHEM 234 during your studies at 缅北强奸 as outlined in your program requirements.
Required Year 0 (Freshman) Courses
29 credits
Generally, students admitted to Engineering from Quebec CEGEPs are granted transfer credit for these Year 0 (Freshman) courses and enter a 114-credit program.
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.
