Chemical engineering involves applications of chemistry, physics, mathematics, and, increasingly, biology and biochemistry. In addition to these disciplines, the chemical engineering curriculum includes the study of applied and computational mathematics, fluid mechanics, heat and mass transfer, thermodynamics, chemical kinetics and chemical reactor design, and process control. A chemical engineer may work in the manufacture of inorganic products (ceramics, semiconductors, and other electronic materials); in the manufacture of organic products (polymer fibers, films, coatings, pharmaceuticals, hydrocarbon fuels, and petrochemicals); in other process industries; or in the biotechnology, pharmaceutical, or biomedical industries.

The Chemical Engineering Technician program at Loyalist College is designed to equip students with the skills necessary for a career in various industries, including food production, pharmaceuticals, petroleum, and more. The program offers a comprehensive curriculum that covers organic and analytical chemistry, chemical engineering principles, and industrial processes.

The study of Chemical Engineering begins with experimentation in the laboratory and is followed by implementation of technology in full-scale production. The study of Chemical Engineering begins with experimentation in the laboratory and is followed by implementation of technology in full-scale production. The mission of the undergraduate program in CHEME is to develop students' understanding of the core scientific, mathematical, and engineering principles that serve as the foundation underlying these technological processes. The program's core mission is reflected in its curriculum which is built on a foundation in the sciences of chemistry, physics, and biology. Course work includes the study of applied mathematics, material and energy balances, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, energy and mass transfer, separations technologies, chemical reaction kinetics and reactor design, and process design.

The chemical engineer can work in chemical and petrochemical industry processes and in the development of projects for production units, in addition to working in the areas of materials, food, computer science, environment, among others. In the environmental field, the chemical engineer is responsible for studying the environment pollution degree through chemical analysis of water and gas emissions control.

The Agricultural Chemical Skill Set has been designed for people who require an understanding of farm chemicals. It is necessary to apply for the Agricultural Chemical Users Permit.

We aim to foster human resources who are capable of adapting and responding to cutting edge technology and its movement in the areas of modern applied chemistry and biochemistry.
