Program Structure

The program structure below gives one sequence of courses that fulfills the requirements of the degree. However, many courses are offered only once per year and others have pre-requisites or exclusions which govern the order in which they can be taken. Both of these things can have a big impact on program structure if poor choices of course combinations are made. Students are strongly encouraged to consult the School website at link here for advice on course sequences that are consistent with timetabling and availability.

The timing of the general education courses and elective courses may be modified to optimize the student's choice of courses. It is the students responsibility to plan their enrolments appropriately.

NOTE:

It is VERY IMPORTANT to check recommended course sequences as explained under Program Structure

Students are expected to possess a calculator having exponential capabilities, however, more advanced calculators and personal computers, will be found useful.

Students of both Chemical Engineering and Industrial Chemistry are advised to have a copy of Perry J H Ed. Chemical Engineers Handbook 6th Ed. McGraw-Hill. This book is used extensively for most courses and units. Certain courses and units do not have specified textbooks and in these cases reference books are used or printed notes supplied.
