Chemical Engineering 2017/2018 Program Guide Chemical Engineering provides the

Chemical Engineering 2017/2018 Program Guide Chemical Engineering provides the basic scientific engineering knowledge for the design, construction and operation of equipment and plants that process materials by chemical and physical operations into desired products. The curriculum is aimed at provision of a broad background in the underlying sciences of Chemistry, Physics and Mathematics, and detailed knowledge of Chemical Engineering principles, that will enable the graduate to proceed to further academic degrees by study and research at this University or elsewhere, or to carry on research, development or production operations in any process industry. Students can choose the general program or specialize in an area by completing an option program: Energy Conversion Engineering or Biomedical Engineering Option. The Department of Chemical Engineering considers practical training and close contact with Industry an important aspect of the engineering curriculum. The Industrial Practice Program includes both the two week Chemical Engineering Practice School and the work term or co-op components carried out in industry. Revised: April 27, 2017 Important Notes Pre- and Co-requisites The department will verify that students meet the pre- and co-requisite requirements for CHE courses after the add/drop date, i.e., after the last day for adding Fall Term, Winter Term and Full-year Courses. If a student does not meet the pre- and co-requisite requirements then he/she will be removed from the respective course.

Prerequisite: CHEM 1982/1987 or equivalent, plus 100 ch of degree credit. Restricted to science and engineering students. CHE 5423 Practice School 4 ch (W) A two week industrial practice school in selected industrial process plants scheduled after spring examinations. Groups of students, with Faculty supervisors, are assigned to engineering projects to be carried out on industrial process units. Students are required to present an oral report to plant operating and technical personnel at the end of the practice session. A written report is also required. As there will be practical limitations to the number of students in any one practice school, application for positions in this course will be treated on a first-come, first- served basis. This course is strongly recommended as a technical elective for students not planning to complete either the co-op or professional experience programs. Prerequisites: CHE 2004, CHE 2412. Non-Technical Electives Non-technical electives are an important element of engineering education. Regardless of engineering role, engineers require an appreciation of business concepts, good communication skills and a broad sense of the impact of technology on society. Most engineers end up in management roles, making decisions on time, people and money. It is wise therefore, for students with an interest in management to choose their complimentary studies courses carefully. In the chemical engineering program at UNB, three of the four non-technical elective courses required for the degree (12 ch total) are area specific: Humanities (3 ch) – Sociology, Anthropology, History, Philosophy, Classics, Political Science Business (3 ch) – Any TME or ADM course; or select ECON courses Non-Language (3 ch) – Any Humanities or Business course; PSYC, RLS, ENVS, ENR, IDS, RCLP, ARTS, WLCS Other (3 ch) – must be approved by the Director of Undergraduate Studies The Department STRONGLY recommends that students to obtain business-related education through the complementary studies stream and to pursue a diploma in Technology Management and Entrepreneurship which is offered by the Faculty of Engineering. For more information on integrating this diploma with the undergraduate degree in chemical engineering, please contact the Director of Undergraduate Studies. Transfer Credits As per university regulations, current students who are seeking transfer credit for courses taken at other institutions must receive permission prior to taking the course. Courses that have been taken without the proper approvals will not be counted towards your degree. Please obtain the appropriate permission slip (Request Form for Off-Campus Study) from the UNB Registrar or online http://www.unb.ca/cel/_resources/pdf/bis/off-campus-study-form.pdf, and seek approval from the Director of UG Studies for any courses you wish to take. Pre- and Co-Requisites Pre- and co-requisites are important guideposts along the degree program path. You must not attempt a chemical engineering course without having its stated pre- and co-requisites. If you find yourself out of sequence in the program (for example, as a transfer student or because of a late withdraw), please seek advising from the uploads/Geographie/ 1718-guide.pdf
