Overview

The Department of Chemical Engineering and Applied Chemistry offers graduate research in pure science, engineering fundamentals, and engineering applications. The department attracts a dynamic professorial staff with outstanding international reputations. Many graduate students work closely with industrial partners during their studies. Research is funded by the government and industry, often by means of a consortium of companies. The experience of dealing with real-world problems prepares graduates for successful professional careers.

Research and teaching are the foundations of the department. Research is clustered into eight major categories:

  • Biomolecular and Biomedical Engineering
  • Bioprocess Engineering
  • Chemical and Materials Process Engineering
  • Engineering Informatics
  • Environmental Science and Engineering

Chemical Engineering and Applied Chemistry: Chemical Engineering and Applied Chemistry MASc

The MASc program is ideal for students who aspire to a rewarding career in research, whether in academia or industry. It is a stepping stone to a doctoral (PhD) degree.

Master of Applied Science

Minimum Admission Requirements

  • Applicants are admitted under the General Regulations of the School of Graduate Studies. Applicants must also satisfy the Department of Chemical Engineering and Applied Chemistry's additional admission requirements stated below.

  • A four-year degree (or equivalent) in engineering or the physical/chemical/biological sciences with a B+ average (or equivalent) in each of the last two years of full-time study.

Completion Requirements

  • Each student should discuss possible research projects with several members of the department before selecting a research area and a supervisor. Students must complete a thesis on a research topic.

  • Coursework. Students must successfully complete a total of 1.5 full-course equivalents [FCEs] (three graduate half courses) as follows:

    • One of these courses must be CHE1102H Research Methods and Project Execution for Graduate Studies in Chemical Engineering, typically completed in Year 1.

    • At least one course must be selected in an area outside the student's area of research.

    • Only one 500-level course may be taken for credit towards the degree program.

Chemical Engineering and Applied Chemistry: Chemical Engineering and Applied Chemistry MEng

The MEng program is designed for engineers who wish to enhance their career opportunities in as little as one year of full-time study. Students undergo advanced professional training that is respected by employers and differentiates them in a crowded marketplace. The MEng program differs from the MASc and PhD programs in that it is oriented to learning through prescribed courses rather than through research.

The MEng program can be taken on a full-time, extended full-time (EFT), or part-time basis. The part-time option is intended primarily for engineers in full-time professional practice. Students may begin the EFT program at different times.

Completion Requirements

  • The MEng program normally requires completion of:

    • a total of 5.0 full-course equivalents (FCEs) or

    • 3.5 FCEs plus a 1.5-FCE project supervised by a faculty member. At the discretion of the supervisor, a second reviewer and/or oral defence may be requested for students who plan to enter the doctoral program.

  • Full-time students normally complete the requirements in three sessions (one year).

  • Part-time students normally complete the requirements in nine sessions (three years). The limit is four half courses per year and two half courses per session.

  • Students have the option of completing an emphasis in Advanced Manufacturing; Advanced Soft Materials; Advanced Water Technologies; Biomanufacturing; Data Analytics and Machine Learning; Engineering and Globalization; Entrepreneurship, Leadership, Innovation and Technology in Engineering (ELITE); Environmental Engineering Consulting; Forensic Engineering; or Sustainable Energy as part of their degree program. Please see details in the Chemical Engineering and Applied Chemistry Emphases section.

Mode of Delivery: In person
Program Length: 3 sessions full-time (typical registration sequence: FWS); 9 sessions part-time
Time Limit: 3 years full-time; 6 years part-time

All students are asked to register with Climate Positive Energy (CPE) at emphasis@cpe.utoronto.ca, at the beginning of their studies, to receive information about energy-related activities and opportunities on campus. CPE also administers a number of awards and scholarships for which students may be eligible.

 

Chemical Engineering and Applied Chemistry: Chemical Engineering and Applied Chemistry MASc, MEng, PhD Courses

An updated course list and schedule is available on the departmental website at the beginning of each session listing the time and room location for each course. Not all courses are given every year.

All students wishing to undertake research and teaching in the Department of Chemical Engineering and Applied Chemistry must successfully complete an intensive occupational health and safety training workshop, CHE2222H Safety Workshop, which normally takes place during the week immediately preceding the commencement of graduate courses in the Fall. In each subsequent year of registration, students must take the Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System refresher workshop.

MASc students must complete CHE3012Y MASc Research in Year 1, and in subsequent years if recommended by their advisory committee.

PhD students must complete CHE3010Y PhD Research every year.

Students registered in a graduate degree program involving research are required to participate in the non-credit seminar course JDE1000H Ethics in Research during their first or second session of registration.
