Chemical Engineering and Applied Chemistry UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAM IN CHEMICAL ENGINEERING (AECHEBASC) Undergraduate Student Counsellor Ms Jane Park Room 216A, Wallberg Building, 416-978-5336 Email: ugrad.chemeng@utoronto.ca Chemical Engineering is that primary engineering discipline based on the fundamental sciences of chemistry, physics, biochemistry andmathematics, in which processes are conceived, designed and operated to effect compositional changes in materials of all kinds.  Chemicalengineers play an important role in the development of a healthier environment and safer and healthier industrial workplaces. They develop newindustrial processes that are more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly and create products that improve the quality of life. They areresponsible for improvements in technologies and in evaluating and controlling hazards.  In addition to the basic sciences, chemical engineers usea well-defined body of knowledge in the application of the conservation laws which determine mass flow and energy relations; thermodynamicsand kinetics which determine whether reactions are feasible and the rate at which they occur; and the chemical engineering rate laws whichdetermine limits to the transfer of heat, mass and momentum. Graduating chemical engineers are skilled problem solvers.  A strong background inapplied chemistry furnishes the chemical engineer with the knowledge to participate in the broadest range of engineering activities, and indeed topursue other professional careers in management, medicine, law, teaching and government. Instruction in important aspects of economic analysisis also included.  In the Fall Session of Fourth Year, students participate in small teams in either the design of a chemical plant. 4th year studentsmay undertake an individual full year research project. This project, the culmination of which is a thesis, serves in many cases as an introductionto research, and provides an opportunity to apply the principles developed during the first three years of the program to problems of engineeringinterest. A thesis project may, for example, concern an experimental laboratory investigation, the design of a process, or a computer study of acomplex chemical system. The Technical Elective subjects available in the Third and Fourth Years cover a wide range of fundamental and application areas of ChemicalEngineering and Applied Chemistry. By choosing electives from a restricted list, it is possible for students to complete the requirements for aMinor in Bioengineering, Environmental Engineering or Sustainable Energy. A minor signifies that a student has gained an enhancedunderstanding of a specific field of study.

For information on CHE297Y, see course description in Chapter 8. As described in the beginning of this chapter, students are required to have completed a total of 600 hours of acceptable practical experiencebefore graduation (normally during their summer vacation periods).

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE YEAR Students registered within this program, and all other undergraduate programs within the Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering, may electto enroll and participate in the Professional Experience Year (PEY) program. The PEY program requires that qualified students undertake a paid,full-time 12-16 month continuous work period with a cooperating industry. Details are described in the beginning of this chapter. For moreinformation, consult the Professional Experience Year Office, 45 Willcocks Street 2nd Floor early in session 2F or 3F. Third Year Chemical Engineering

ENGINEERING MINOR ELIGIBLE COURSES Students interested in pursuing an Engineering Minor (six courses) will find detailed information at the beginning of this chapter. By selectingcourses that meet the requirements of both the Chemical Engineering Program and the respective minor, it is possible for a student to completethe minor during the normal course of study. If a student chooses to undertake a thesis within the area of an engineering minor, it may count for 2of the six required credits. Students wishing to select engineering minor eligible courses that are not in the table of approved courses below, musttake those courses as Extra courses for degree purposes.

GRADUATE PROGRAMS IN CHEMICAL ENGINEERING The Department of Chemical Engineering and Applied Chemistry, provides exciting opportunities for students who would like to pursue advancedstudies beyond the undergraduate level toward the M.Eng., M.A.Sc. or Ph.D. degrees. More than 20 graduate level courses toward the studyrequirement of the degree programs are offered by the Department.  Financial support is provided to graduate students through research grantsand/or fellowships, together with some undergraduate teaching in the laboratories.  Undergraduate students interested in postgraduate programsare invited to discuss research activities and graduate studies in the Department with any member of staff at any stage of their undergraduateprogram. Further information may also be obtained from the Coordinator of Graduate Studies, Department of Chemical Engineering and AppliedChemistry, Room 212, Wallberg Building and from the Calendar of the School of Graduate Studies.
