Chemical Engineers play a vital role in converting basic materials into eco-friendly, safer, and cutting-edge products across industries like energy, food, cosmetics, and medicine. As one of engineering's most adaptable fields, Chemical Engineering merges principles from chemistry, biology, mathematics, physics, design, and process engineering.
During the initial two years of study, all engineering students participate in the Core Engineering Program, available at both the Sexton Campus in Halifax and the Agricultural Campus in Truro. The curriculum covers fundamental subjects in mathematics, science, engineering principles, and design, establishing a comprehensive engineering background.
After completing first year, students may apply to specialize in one of six engineering disciplines, including Chemical Engineering. Admission to specific programs is competitive and determined by first-year academic achievements.
In the third year, students begin focusing on their chosen discipline and have the option to enhance their studies through co-operative education opportunities.
