Graduate Course Descriptions
The Department of Chemical Engineering offers courses of study leading to the degree of Master of Applied Science and Doctor of Philosophy. The Master of Applied Science programme may be followed in either one of two directions: a “professional” option, which reqquires course work and an engineering report; and a “research” option, which requires less course work, and the completion of a research project. The first of these is intended to give a fuller understanding of fundamentals and greater mastery of the application of these principles to the solution of complex realistic problems. The second option offers training in fundamentals and in research methods, and is excellent preparation for those whose primary interest is a career in research.

Research Activities
1 Biochemical Engineering
Department of Chemical Engineering
In addition to general and specialized graduate courses for research students, the Department offers a number of courses each year designed to be particularly suitable for the professional option in the M.A.Sc. programme. Graduate course requirements are measured in “units”. A course lasting one semester may be considered to be one unit. Normally, four units per semester are considered a full load, but if more than six hours/week of other work is also being done, a student may be required to carry fewer units.
Either option in the M.A.Sc. programme may also be carried out on a part-time of full-time co-operative basis. The professional option is particularly designed to meet the needs of a co-operative programme.
The professional option requires a total of eight units of course work, in addition to the submission of an acceptable engineering report. Normally, at least five units of work will be chosen from courses offered by the Chemical Engineering Department, four units of which must be Ch.C. 600, 642, 650 and 672. Other courses may be chosen from outside Departments or from other Chemical Engineering courses. The Engineering report will have a nominal value of one to two units, and represents evidence that the student is capable of obtaining and presenting a satisfactory solution to an original engineering problem of some complexity. The research option requires a total of four units of course work at the graduate level, in addition to the submission of a thesis reporting the results of original research. The courses to be taken will be selected in consultation with the student’s research advisor. However, it is expected that every student in the research option will take at least one of the courses ChE. 600, 642, 650 and 672, selected on the basis of his major research interest.
The Ph.D. degree is awarded primarily for the successful perfomance of original research of high calibre. The general requirements are described in the section dealing with Graduate Studies and particular requirements are available from the Department of Chemical Engineering on request. The courses to be taken by a student in the Ph.D. programme will be determined by his Committee, and will normally consist of about four to eight units of work, in addition to the research thesis.
A student in the Ph.D. programme is not accepted as a candidate for the Ph.D. degree by this Department until he has presented and successfully defended to his Committee a proposal for research.
Graduate research may be pursued in a number of major areas of investigation, which are listed below. In addition to work in these fields, a wide variety of research is carried out in less intensively developed areas.
Major areas of research are: Heat transfer, mass transfer, and fluid flow in biological processes
of industrial interest; chemical engineering design of fermentation, food processing, and waste treatment facilities.
