Combining chemical expertise with knowledge of advanced manufacturing technologies, chemical engineers create new processes, materials, and energy sources to achieve such things as faster silicon chips, better tasting food, cleaner water, improved solid waste treatment, new pharmaceuticals, and longer-lasting batteries.
Accredited by the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board, Chemical Engineering Co-op emphasizes practical applications and tackles real-life engineering problems through laboratory work, research projects, mathematical modeling, and computer simulations. Students find employment opportunities in biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, design and construction, electronics, environmental technology, safety and health, food and beverages, fuels, and advanced materials.
Chemical Engineering includes the following topics of study:
Science, mathematics and chemical engineering principles in years one and two, including: thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, instrumental methods of analysis, organic chemistry and electrical circuits.
Additional courses in heat transfer, mass transfer, statistical design, reaction kinetics, separation processes, process modeling and simulation, chemical reactor engineering, and chemical engineering economics
Specializations in food processing, water and wastewater treatment, air pollution and control, particulate engineering, and plastics in upper years
The co-op experience includes five, four-month work terms in organizations in Ontario, Canada, and potentially abroad. To get the co-op designation students must successfully complete four of the five work terms. The first work term begins in the summer following 2nd year studies.
Students should be open to relocating to improve their chances of finding work as many opportunities in fields such as petroleum production and refining, and others are in cities outside the greater Toronto area.

Engineering Co-op Student
Challenging position which will allow student to learn and improve on engineering skills. Successful candidate will be trained on the use of relevant software. Duties include:
Field verification of Piping & Instrument Diagrams
Drawing and checking of instrument loop diagrams
Data entries to the database system
Engineering calculations
Work with Microsoft Office and Visio software. Training will be provided accordingly.
Research & Development - Water Treatment
Participate in true industrial research and development on every scale from the lab to full size equipment. This opportunity will involve designing, setting up and running laboratory and pilot scale tests and reporting the results. Some internet or library research may be required. The successful candidate will be expected to apply for an NSERC Undergraduate Student Research Award(USRA).
Subsurface Engineering Co-op Student
You will work on assessments of existing oil and gas wells and propose actions to enhance performance from those wells, with mentorship from experienced subsurface engineers and technologists. You will work from start to finish enabling you to measure actual results and learn from them. You may be required to travel by can and/or air to fild locations.
Reporting to the Process Engineer, the selected candidate will be assigned different projects of equipment upgrade and line efficiency improvements within the plant.
The Chemical Engineering Co-operative program is a mandatory co-op program. Admission to co-op is based upon successful entry/admission to the university. Students in good academic standing in the program following 3rd semester studies may participate in co-op.
