Program Guide
Chemical Engineering provides the basic
scientific engineering knowledge for the design,
construction and operation of equipment and
plants that process materials by chemical and
physical operations into desired products. The
curriculum is aimed at provision of a broad
background in the underlying sciences of
Chemistry, Physics and Mathematics, and
detailed knowledge of Chemical Engineering
principles, that will enable the graduate to
proceed to further academic degrees by study
and research at this University or elsewhere, or
to carry on research, development or production
operations in any process industry.

CHE 5522 Nanotechnology 3 ch (3C)
Studies the science of nanotechnology and surveys current and emerging applications of nanomaterials and
nanodevices in many engineering disciplines. The unique physical properties of materials at the nano-meter scale
are discussed and explained. Fabrication methods and advanced instrumentation for the construction,
manipulation and viewing of nanometer-sized materials are presented. Prerequisite: CHEM 1982/1987 or
equivalent, plus 100 ch of degree credit. Restricted to science and engineering students.
Non-Technical Electives
Non-technical electives are an important element of engineering education. Regardless of engineering role, engineers require
an appreciation of business concepts, good communication skills and a broad sense of the impact of technology on society.
Most engineers end up in management roles, making decisions on time, people and money. It is wise therefore, for students
with an interest in management to choose their complimentary studies courses carefully. In the chemical engineering
program at UNB, three of the four non-technical elective courses required for the degree (12 ch total) are area specific:
Humanities (3 ch) Sociology, Anthropology, History, Philosophy, Classics, Political Science
Business (3 ch) Any TME or ADM course; or select ECON courses
Non-Language (3 ch) Any Humanities or Business course; PSYC, RLS, ENVS, ENR, IDS, RCLP, ARTS, WLCS
Other (3 ch) must be approved by the Director of Undergraduate Studies
The Department STRONGLY recommends that students to obtain business-related education through the complementary
studies stream and to pursue a diploma in Technology Management and Entrepreneurship which is offered by the Faculty
of Engineering. For more information on integrating this diploma with the undergraduate degree in chemical engineering,
please contact the Director of Undergraduate Studies.
Transfer Credits
As per university regulations, current students who are seeking transfer credit for courses taken at other institutions must
receive permission prior to taking the course. Courses that have been taken without the proper approvals will not be counted
towards your degree. Please obtain the appropriate permission slip (Request Form for Off-Campus Study) from the UNB
Registrar or online http://www.unb.ca/cel/_resources/pdf/bis/off-campus-study-form.pdf, and seek approval from the
Director of UG Studies for any courses you wish to take.
Course Equivalents
Please note that students must follow the course program only. Students are NOT permitted to take any other courses in
place of the required courses. Permission may be granted under exceptional circumstances, however, credit will not be given
without a letter of permission on file.
Chemical Engineering Option Registration Form
- refer to Calendar or Program Guide for details on Option programs
- the Department of Chemical Engineering reserves the right to remove registration in a chosen
Option program, where students do not register in Option courses or where their studies clearly
diverge from that Option program.
- the Department of Chemical Engineering will try to ensure that all students registered in an Option
have a reasonable opportunity to complete that Option over two academic years of study.
- withdrawing from or failing Option courses is normally not a problem, but either could potentially
make subsequent completion of an Option impossible.
- admission to Options is automatic for students enrolled in the BScE (Chemical Engineering)
program who have successfully completed both ChE 2004 (or 2014) and ChE 2012, along with the
completion of this form.
For a list of courses required for completion of the Options below please refer to the
Program Guide.
The Biomedical Option is available to students in the Department of Chemical Engineering. In order to
enter the option program students must meet approval by the Department of Chemical Engineering.
To complete the option program the student must complete four technical electives (12 ch minimum),
consisting of one core course (which is normally offered every year),
and three courses *** selected from the list below (most courses are offered every year):
Students with a special interest in biology and biochemical engineering are encouraged to pursue a
Minor in Biology through the Faculty of Science. Such students should seek advising from the Director
of Undergraduate Studies to embark upon this path as soon as possible in the degree program.
***Students will be permitted to replace one course from the list above if no course is available or
being offered/available to complete the option. Department approval is required.
Energy Conversion Engineering Option in Chemical Engineering
This option places emphasis on emerging technologies and societal issues in the energy and environment sector
within chemical engineering. This directed path consists of 3 technical elective courses and 1 complementary
studies course (minimum total of 15 ch) selected from the approved lists below. Students may elect to receive a
further specialization within the ECE Option by focusing their technical electives in nuclear & power plant
technology, oil & gas processing or environmental disciplines.
Core:
CHE 5313 Energy and the Environment
Environmental
CE 5432 Wastewater Treatment and Pollution Control
CHE 5314 Chemical Process Industries
CHE 5413 Air Pollution Control
ME 5553 Ocean Wave Energy Conversion

Students with special interest in environmental studies are also encouraged to pursue a minor or secondary major
in this area through the universitys Environmental Studies Program, administered by the Faculty of Forestry and
Environmental Management. The Department also encourages interested students to pursue a Masters of
Engineering degree in environmental studies after graduation.
Students will be permitted to replace one course from the list above if no course is available or being
offered/available to complete the option. Department approval is required.
STUDENT ABROAD PROGRAM:
THE WORLD IS YOUR CLASSROOM
Studying abroad allows you to earn credits while discovering new cultures and experiences.
International opportunities are available to UNB students through our co-op, internship, summer school, exchanges or group-travel with a
UNB professor.
You can chose between short-term abroad programs ranging from 1-3 weeks to studying or working abroad for a full term and up to a year.
To help with the practicalities of studying/working or interning abroad, UNB offers tools and workshops to help you maximize your
experience, gain important skills for enhanced employability after graduation and build an international network of contacts.
Internationally mobile students are in a better position to find their first job, and studying abroad is a great investment in your future career.
For more testimonials and a full list of destinations suitable for Chemical Engineering
students, and more, see unb.ca/exchange.
Talk to the Director of Undergraduate Studies for advice on courses and how these would
integrate into your CHE degree.
