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!
COURSE PACKS
Academics are a big part of Skule™ life. To help you out we have course packs with past year's material for your core ChemE courses. Let your class representative or the Academic Director know if you have any questions!
COURSE PLANNING
Figuring out which courses to take can be stressful. Luckily, ChemClub is here to help you navigate through it, so check out the resources below.
If you have any questions regarding your courses & planning, contact the Academic Advisor for Chem. Eng:
