Process engineering is a versatile field that meets the demands of diverse industries like oil and gas extraction and mineral refinement. It focuses on creating, planning, improving, and managing eco-friendly processes to serve society while prioritizing safety and environmental conservation. Process engineers transform raw materials using biological, chemical, and physical methods to create valuable products including petrochemicals, fuel, food products, medications, and various metals and alloys.
What sets Memorial's process engineering program apart is its distinction as Canada's first to require cooperative education, offering students hands-on experience across industries from petroleum extraction to dairy production. Students gain access to cutting-edge lab facilities and contribute to groundbreaking research initiatives shaping engineering's future.
