Graduate Course Descriptions
The Department of Chemical Engineering offers courses of study leading to the degree of Master of Applied Science (M. A. Sc.) and Doctor of Philosophy (Ph. D.). The Master of Applied Science programme may be followed in either one of two directions: a course-work (“professional-development”) option, which requires course work and an engineering design or analysis report; and a research option, which requires less course work and a research thesis. 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. 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.

to carry fewer units.
In addition to the regular schedule, either option in the M. A. Sc. programme may be carried out on a 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. 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 two courses offered by the Chemical Engineering Department.
The Ph.D. degree is awarded primarily for the successful completion 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 Advisory Committe, 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 Committe 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.
