Diploma in Chemical and Environmental Technology - Process Engineering Option

About this programme

The Chemical and Environmental Engineering Technology Diploma program is for students who wish to develop a strong foundation in engineering technology with a focus on chemical and environmental industries. The streamlined program consists of two common years with electives that focus on either traditional process industries or advanced chemistry. The Chemical and Environmental Engineering Technology Diploma program is a full-time, two-year diploma program that prepares graduates for entry-level employment in a variety of industry sectors in science and engineering technology. The goal of this broad-based program is to develop skilled, versatile technologists with transferable skills and the ability to succeed in a variety of fields related to environmental, analytical, and process chemical technologies, or to continue to further studies in either science or engineering. Students follow a fixed curriculum of courses that combine lectures and laboratory exercises that ensure students learn the relevant theory and develop practical skills. This diploma program offers students a broad background in engineering technology and skills that can be applied to many industries. At the end of the first year, students have the option to apply for a 12-week co-operative education position in relevant industries. In their second year, students will choose two courses from a curated set of four electives giving a strong focus on either advanced chemistry or traditional process industries. The first-year curriculum emphasizes environmental science, engineering materials, laboratory tec
