Bachelor of Applied Science in Engineering Chemistry

About this programme

The only program of its kind in North America, our Engineering Chemistry program is dually accredited- meaning when you graduate, you will be eligible to become both a chartered chemist and a professional engineer. Since 1895, our unique Engineering Chemistry program has graduated leaders in both chemical engineering and chemistry. Engineering Chemistry connects chemistry and engineering design, to discover innovative solutions for the most challenging problems in the chemical sciences. Graduates of the program are experts in the chemistry behind industrial processes. A strong foundation in both chemistry and engineering prepares our students to tackle problems at an industrial level. As a graduate of this program, you’ll have a strong grasp of fundamental science and the engineering tools needed to put this knowledge into practice. You will learn: Through applying this core knowledge, you'll learn to design and improve processes and materials, ranging from fuel cells to pharmaceuticals. Our specialized curriculum combines studies of analytical, electrochemical, and organic chemistry with extensive training in engineering sciences including transport phenomena, thermodynamics, and reaction kinetics. This will prepare you for all stages of design activities including detailed equipment specifications and financial analyses. Our program also readies you to solve problems in areas of societal need, such as alternative energy, clean water, sustainable agriculture, and healthcare. The defining quality of an engineering chemist is a willingness to tackle complex, multi-disci
