Engineering Minors and Certificates
Minors and Certificatesallow students to focus their courses in a particular area, such as Business, Leadership, Bioengineeing/Biomedical Engineering, Sustainable Energy, Renewable Resources, Environmental Engineering, Nuclear Engineering, and Nanoengineering.
Professional Experience Year Co-op Program (PEY Co-op)
PEY Co-opis an internship program that allows students to apply their knowledge in a 12-16 month project-based professional internship, helping build relationships with employers, gain valuable career skills and obtain significant professional experience before graduation.
Research Opportunities
Faculty members in the Department of Chemical Engineering & Applied Chemistry frequently look for students to help out with research projects. These projects are suitable for a fourth-year thesis (CHE499Y, or ESC499Y), or a Summer Research project. For a list of current research opportunities in the Department, check theCurrent Student Research Opportunitiespage. Students are also welcome to approach Faculty directly to find out if there are opportunities in their lab. Check theResearchsection of the website for information on the Departments research areas (clusters), and the research interests of our Faculty members. Students may also participate in research through a research exchange available through theStudy Abroadprogram.
Fourth-Year Thesis
A thesis is an independent research project that a student completes under the supervision of an academic staff member. The student would perform a literature review, develop a research protocol, perform the experiments and then write the report, which is the thesis.
Students anticipating applying to graduate studies in our department are strongly advised to complete a thesis as part of their program.
If you are thinking of doing a thesis in fourth year, start looking into potential thesis project(s) and supervisor(s) in January/February of your third year. Once you have identified a supervisor – send an email to theUndergraduate CounsellorandProfessor Timothy P. Bender, indicating the supervisor you will be working with. In addition, add CHE499Y1Y in ROSI/ACORN, when you do your course selection. We will notify you as to the date of the mandatory Thesis Safety Training, which will occur in September, just after Labour Day.
Students wishing to obtain an engineering minor with thesis as an elective must also have the separateThesis Minor Formcompleted and signed by the Vice Dean, Cross-Disciplinary Studies.
Study Abroad
The Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering works in cooperation with the Centre for International Experience (CIE) to offerresearch and/or academic exchange opportunitieswith over 150 institutions in over 40 countries, including Sweden (Lund University), Singapore (National University of Singapore) and the United Kingdom (University of Edinburgh).
