Chemical Engineering Major
Overview
Chemical engineering is a broad field that combines the key disciplines of chemistry, physics and biology. This major allows students to deepen their knowledge in areas such as biochemical engineering and biotechnology, energy and environment, green product and process design, minerals processing, process systems engineering and sustainability.
This major best aligns with the Biomedical stream. You can not enrol in the Chemical Engineering Major within the Chemical and Biomolecular stream.
