Chemical Engineering

Chemical engineering is the branch of engineering concerned with the design, construction, and operation of machines and plants that perform chemical reactions to solve practical problems or make useful products.

Chemical engineers change raw materials into valuable goods through efficient, economical and environmentally sound processes. Essentially, they work to improve people's lives. They make fertilizers to support increasing food demands and end starvation. They make medications more affordable and available, helping to prevent and eradicate disease. They work to save the environment by developing technologies to combat pollution and make fuels more efficient.

Bachelor of Science in Engineering

The Chemical Engineering program is available as a major as part of a four-year Bachelor of Science in Engineering degree.
The faculty of engineering at the University of New Brunswick has been preparing graduates for success in their engineering careers since 1854, when UNB was the first university in Canada to introduce an engineering program.
Our graduates have gone on to help design and build bridges, make cleaner fuels and next-generation wireless communications tools. Researchers at the faculty are developing technologies to help improve satellite imagery used by Google Earth and the Canadian Department of National Defence. Others are in helping develop biofuels and renewable energy.
The faculty of engineering at UNB was ranked in the top 10 engineering schools in Canada by Knight School Rankings.
