Be part of an evolving field with real-world impact at Waterloo, one of the world’s top chemical engineering programs. You’ll develop the skills and tools to transform raw materials into valuable products people use to create a better, more sustainable future.
Chemical engineers design ways to produce, transform, and transport material and energy: biofuels, plastics and polymers, renewable energy, pharmaceutical products, biomedical devices, and more.
At Waterloo, you’ll learn how to use and develop safe, economical, and environmentally friendly solutions to solve complex problems and improve efficiency. Delve deep into subjects ranging from chemistry to thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and other sciences. Manufacturing processes? You’ll study them too.
As a chemical engineer, your skillset and knowledge are truly universal! (No wonder the program gives you the ability to help advance all 17 United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals.) Launch a purposeful career in life-saving pharmaceuticals, non-carbon fuel, food processing, cosmetics and beauty, renewable energy, biotechnology, health care, and the automotive sector.
Or learn how to develop advanced materials for soft robotics, energy storage devices, and microelectronics. Chemical engineers are involved in almost every product we rely on so there’s no shortage of fascinating work.
