The Centre for Nuclear Energy Research leads global research into nuclear energy specializing in water chemistry control and corrosion detection, monitoring, and prevention.

Their research facility contributes to new advanced nuclear technologies. They partner with industry leaders to deliver applied research products and services.

Pulp and paper have been around a long time but there is always improvement to be made to the process and outcomes. This group goes far beyond everyday paper.

This internationally-renowned group develops biofuels, green cellulosic products, hemicelluloses and extractive-related biochemicals and materials.

The MEng in chemical engineering is a 12-24 month practical program intended for those who plan to make their careers in industry. This degree is attractive to those in industry and government who are interested in studying part-time.

The degree is course-based. It requires successful completion of an approved 30 credit hour program drawn from the three core areas of study important to all chemical engineers working in industry:

• engineering & environmental science
• business and management
• chemical engineering

The MEng degree is not a terminal degree. Students who successfully complete the MEng are eligible for admission to the PhD program on a competitive basis.

The MScE degree requires successful completion of a research thesis and an approved course program of 16 credit hours. The course program must include the seminar course (CHE 6800-CR), and Introduction to Research Methodologies (CHE 6511 - 3 ch).

The PhD degree requires successful completion of a research thesis and an approved course program of 9 credit hours. The course program must include the seminar course (CHE 6800-CR), and Introduction to Research Methodologies (CHE 6511 - 3 ch).

The PhD program is typically entered following completion of a research master's program. You are required to present a research proposal and successfully complete the research proposal course. Candidates must also pass a comprehensive examination covering the major areas of chemical engineering within the first year of study.

PhD candidates are required to take two courses (6 ch) at the 6000 level in addition to CHE 6511 and CHE 6800. The courses must be approved by the student's supervisor and may include courses outside of chemical engineering.

Normally, candidates for the PhD should hold a master's degree in chemical engineering or an appropriate related discipline.

A student who holds a recognized bachelor's degree is generally admitted, initially to the MScE program. The student may then transfer directly to the PhD program, without writing the MScE thesis, after successful completion of the MScE course program, the comprehensive examination, and successful presentation and defense of a detailed research proposal for the thesis project.

For the comprehensive examination, candidates are required to choose two areas from the following list:

• heat transfer
• mass transfer
• reaction engineering
• thermodynamics
• process dynamics/control
• unit operations

Written examinations are set in the same day. Candidates may also be asked to defend their papers orally.

In addition to the university oral, each PhD candidate is required to pass a departmental oral examination. Candidates are examined primarily on areas related to their research but must be prepared to also answer questions of a general nature.
