Note: Probationary students may have specific grade requirements, which will be specified in their admission letters.Only courses taken within five years prior to the completion of the MASc degree may be counted for credit towards a degree, unless a request for revalidation is granted.

In the case of co-supervision in small research groups, it may be necessary to relax this rule: in such cases, the student's file must contain a statement of formal approval from the Chemical Engineering Department and endorsement from the Associate Dean for Graduate Studies and Research of Engineering.

The Faculty of Engineering requires that no more than one half of the courses used for credit towards a graduate degree may be taught by a student’s supervisor(s).

Graduate courses offered by the Faculty of Engineering are numbered as 600 or 700 series courses and are assigned a unit weight of 0.50, which means that they are one-term courses as defined in the Graduate Studies Academic Calendar.

The normal full load is at least two 0.50 unit weight courses per term while concurrently maintaining acceptable progress in the research project.

The courses to be taken will be selected in consultation with the student's research supervisor.

No more than 1 may be a reading course.

No more than 2 may be taught by supervisor(s).

No more than 1 may be a 500 level course.

For students with a non-Chemical Engineering background, 2 electives must be CHE courses.

3 graduate level elective courses (1 elective must be a CHE course).

CHE 601 Theory and Application of Transport Phenomena or CHE 602 Chemical Reactor Analysis.

Students must complete CHE 600 Engineering and Research Methods, Ethics, Practice, and Law (0.25 credit weight) and 4 graduate courses (0.50 unit weight per course) as follows:.

Master in chemical engineering
