Advanced College Diploma - Chemical Engineering Technology - Environmental (PCETE) (Optional Co-op)

Sheridan College's Chemical Engineering Technology – Environmental advanced diploma program offers a rigorous environmental college education that prepares students for specialized careers in environmental science, the environmental industry, the chemical industry and the laboratory.

The Chemical Engineering Technology – Environmental advanced diploma program includes courses in: • Solid waste, air pollution and wastewater treatment. • Environmental audit. • Environmental regulations and laws. • Instrumental analysis and analytical chemistry. • Design and operation of chemical processes.

Students will work in some of the most sophisticated college environmental science facilities and chemical laboratories in Canada, getting hands-on experience with state-of-the-art chemistry and chemical engineering technology. Sheridan's environmental science labs contain pilot plant systems that expose students to real-life industrial operations in environmental control and chemical production. This program shares a common academic core with the Environmental Technician, Chemical Engineering Technology and Chemical Laboratory Technician programs, so it's easy to transfer to a different program. After earning a Chemical Engineering Technology – Environmental advanced diploma some of the graduates obtain university degrees in chemistry, chemical engineering and environmental science. Depending on the university, and the choice of program, they may receive transfer credits for their study at Sheridan. The Chemical Engineering Technology – Environmental program includes three paid co-op work placements that offer valuable experience and professional contacts. Enrolment is limited through an additional co-op selection process. Students will also learn to use applied chemical engineering to ensure environmentally friendly industrial operations, clean up polluted sites and help enforce environmental regulations.
