Program details

Overview

Lakehead University's Chemical Engineering program leads to a Bachelor of Engineering degree combined with a diploma in Engineering Technology over four years at the Thunder Bay campus, one of the few Canadian programs offering both credentials on this timeline. Coursework covers the development, design, construction, and operation of industrial plants that transform natural resources into products such as synthetic fibres, plastics, fertilizers, pharmaceuticals, and petroleum products, with each course combining lecture and laboratory components except for the first-year academic writing course. The curriculum builds technical competency in plant and process design alongside communication skills and an understanding of business and societal impacts, culminating in a final-year chemical plant design project. The program is accredited by the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board (CEAB). An optional five-year stream combines the degree with an MBA. The program suits students seeking an accredited engineering degree with a paired technology diploma and small-class instruction.
