MISSION:  The Chemical Engineering graduate degree program is designed to offer engineers and scientists the opportunity to acquire an advanced degree in chemical engineering with an emphasis on practice-oriented knowledge on analysis and design.

OBJECTIVES:  The objectives of this program are:  (a) to expand the students' understanding of the basic fundamentals and principles of chemical engineering, (b) to provide knowledge of advanced topics related to chemical engineering in the areas of separation techniques, pollution prevention and process safety, economic analysis, and advanced computer skills for analysis and design, and (c) to provide opportunities for students to conduct fundamental or applied research, and to improve their oral and written communication skills.

REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION:  Applicants must possess (1) a baccalaureate degree in a chemical engineering program accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology or from a recognized foreign institution; or (2) a baccalaureate degree in another area of engineering, chemistry, or biology. A minimum grade point average of 3.00 is required.

Applicants who have a baccalaureate degree in biology, chemistry, or another engineering program will be considered for admission of they present satisfactory grades in courses equivalent to two semesters of college calculus (MATH 103-4), one semester of multivariable calculus (MATH 201), one semester of differential equations (MATH 203), two semesters of general chemistry (CHEM 101-2), two semesters of organic chemistry (CHEM 319-20), two semesters of physical chemistry (CHEM 309-10). These students will be admitted as non-matriculated students and can expect to matriculate when they have completed the following bridge courses: CHML 207 Process Calculations (Materials and energy balances), CHML 208 Chemical Engineering Principles I (Fluid mechanics), CHML 305 Chemical Engineering Principles II (Heat transfer), CHML 321 Chemical Reaction Engineering (Kinetics) with a minimum grade point average of 3.00 with no grade lower than C. The order in which the courses are taken will be determined by the graduate director on a case by case basis. These courses will not satisfy any requirements for the Master of Science in Chemical Engineering degree. Generally, students must complete prerequisite courses before they are permitted to register for graduate courses. Exceptions require the recommendation of the Chair and the approval of the Dean of Engineering.

Further information may be obtained from the Graduate Catalogue.  Please direct email enquiries to the Graduate Program Director, Dr. Ann Marie Flynn.
