Bachelor of Engineering Science - Chemical Engineering (EE)

Program Description All Engineering students will complete a common first year, meaning all students take the same courses allowing them to experience various disciplines of engineering before deciding on an area of specialization. After completing the common first year, students will enroll in one of nine programs. During the common first year, students will solve real engineering problems. They will be provided with the fundamentals needed for success in upper years, while exploring various engineering disciplines.

After completing Western Engineering’s Common First Year, students can enroll in the Chemical Engineering program. In their third year of study, students will have the opportunity to choose one of the following options: General Chemical Engineering or Biochemical and Environmental Engineering.

The General Chemical Engineering option explores traditional chemical engineering processes and applications. The objective of the program is to combine and integrate the fundamental principles of chemical and biochemical engineering to design commercial processes and plants that make consumer products that are both economical and environmentally friendly. Among the distinguishing features of Western's program is the emphasis on prevention of pollution at the source before by integrating innovative design principles of physical, chemical and biological processes.

NOTE: Please note the English scores listed are minimum requirements. Meeting the minimums does not guarantee admission. Students with low English scores may be admitted to the English BOOST Program, a 9 week training program for conditional admission to their chosen program.
