WHAT IS CHEMICAL ENGINEERING (CHEG)?
This major is part of the BEP Exploration Group and Math and Engineering Exploration Group
Chemical engineers differ from other engineers in that they draw upon the vast and powerful science of chemistry to solve a wide range of problems. The knowledge and duties of chemical engineers cut across many fields; they apply principles of chemistry, physics, mathematics, and mechanical and electrical engineering in their work. Chemical engineers are very versatile and are able to handle a large variety of technical problems. There is a large amount of scientific and technical knowledge inherent in this profession.
The Chemical Engineering undergraduate program educational objectives are that our alumni/ae: our graduates will be gainfully employed in chemical engineering or related career paths including industrial, academic, governmental and non-governmental organizations. Our graduates will continue their professional activities and/or training to enhance their careers and/or pursue post-graduate studies.
