COURSE CURRICULUM

The Chemical Engineering graduate curriculum offers a diverse range of courses designed to develop both theoretical knowledge and practical skills across various specialized areas. Core research components include the Chemical Engineering Report (CHG 6000), where students engage in detailed research projects, and seminars (CHG 8101S and CHG 8102S) focused on presenting and discussing current topics and research papers, mandatory for MASc and PhD students respectively. The coursework covers advanced subjects such as Organic Electronics (CHG 8113), which explores the design and operation of emerging flexible and printed electronic technologies, and Heat Transfer I (CHG 8115), emphasizing conduction and radiant heat transmission. Advanced Transport Phenomena (CHG 8116) examines momentum, heat, and mass transfer in various applications. Biomedical applications are addressed in courses like Synthetic Membranes in Biomedical Engineering (CHG 8121), focusing on membrane technologies used in medical treatments. Thermodynamics and separation processes are covered through Advanced Chemical Engineering Thermodynamics (CHG 8123) and Adsorption Separation Processes (CHG 8132). The curriculum also includes specialized topics such as Strategies for Engineering Process Analysis (CHG 8157), Advanced Chemical Reaction Engineering (CHG 8161), and Advanced Biochemical Engineering (CHG 8181). Polymer science is addressed in Introduction to Polymer Reaction Engineering (CHG 8187) and Polymer Properties and Characterization (CHG 8188). Membrane technology is a recurring theme in courses like Membranes in Clean Processes (CHG 8192) and Membrane Gas Separation Processes (CHG 8198). Numerical methods, interfacial phenomena, and electrochemical engineering are covered in CHG 8195, CHG 8196, and CHG 8300 respectively. Other courses focus on renewable fuels, oil and gas processing, tissue engineering, biomaterials, multiphase flow, biopharmaceutics, and research methodology, preparing students for both academic and industry careers through comprehensive training in chemical engineering principles and applications.
