The Faculty of Applied Science & Engineering is Canada’s top ranked engineering school and one of the world’s best.
Alumni and supporters like you have helped us achieve this standing.
At the Department of Chemical Engineering & Applied Chemistry, we are laser-focused on enhancing and enriching the student experience. We are educating the 21st-century chemical engineers who will thrive in the circular economy, as well as contribute to the solutions the world urgently needs for a more sustainable future.
Chair Ramin Farnood leads the Department as we strive to be among the world’s best in offering an innovative, up-to-date chemical engineering education. In line with this vision, three new leadership roles have been created to better support our students. Our new Associate Chair, Undergraduate Student Experience and Associate Chair, Undergraduate Curriculum Development will work together to integrate sustainability across all four years of our undergraduate curriculum. Our new Associate Chair, Continuing Professional Development will support the growing need for the up-skilling of our work force. Additionally, two new faculty members have been hired to enhance the Department’s strengths in applied AI and global health.

Contributions to the ChemE Chair’s Fund give us the flexibility to seize opportunities as they arise in the rapidly evolving scientific and higher education sectors. Your gift will provide a core source of funding that supports exciting initiatives in modernizing our Unit Operations Lab (our flagship undergraduate experiential learning facility) by incorporating sustainable unit operations, as well as co-curricular programs, equipment purchases, research projects, student clubs, travel expenses, mentorships, and much more.
As well, post-pandemic, student financial aid remains a priority. Engineering students face thousands of dollars in tuition, residence fees, and other expenses—and these financial barriers have only increased due to the challenges of the past few years. Please consider funding a scholarship or bursary. Starting at $2,500 a year, you can establish a named award that empowers high-performing students, helps those in financial need, and creates a meaningful legacy reflecting your interests and objectives.
You are an integral part of our community.
As we accelerate our efforts to support student success, please consider investing in our talented chemical engineering students. We hope, as well, that you will join us at an upcoming event, such as our Lectures at the Leading Edge series, which this year has the theme:
“Envisioning the Future of Chemical Engineering.”
