Research Opportunities 

If you may be looking for research opportunities, faculty members are always looking for students to help out with research projects. These projects are suitable for a fourth-year thesis (CHE499Y, or ESC499Y), or a Summer Research project. 

You are also welcome to approach Faculty directly and participate in the research exchange available through the Study Abroad program.

Fourth Year Thesis

If you are interested in research, this is for you. A thesis is a research project completed under staff supervision. 

You would perform a literature review, develop a research protocol, perform the experiments and then write the report- which is the thesis.

If you are considering ChemE graduate studies, you are advised to complete a thesis as part of your program!
