Measuring minute quantities of organic and inorganic substances represents crucial technology for environmental surveillance, medical testing, forensic investigations, and security purposes.
Chemical engineering students master modern analytical chemistry methods including nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and chromatographic techniques that form the foundation of today's chemistry education.
During their engineering studies, learners integrate analytical chemistry expertise with fundamental principles of fluid dynamics and microelectronics to create practical devices. These innovations encompass microfluidic platforms, integrated lab-on-chip solutions, and compact field-deployable instruments.
Graduates in chemical engineering have pursued diverse careers in tech startups. Companies like Spectra Plasmonics and ENDETEC demonstrate successful analytical instrument manufacturers established by Queen's University faculty with contributions from our alumni.
