Program description
The Bachelor of Engineering Technology in Chemical program can be completed in either three or four years. This degree takes a practical approach to chemical processes, as well as instrumentation and sample analyses, by combining theoretical knowledge with technical expertise. The Engineering Technology in Chemical program serves as a stepping stone to a variety of exciting, opportunity-rich professions that are highly relevant to other fields of study such as engineering and nanotechnology, medicine and dentistry, culinary sciences and environmental sciences.
A 400 MHz NMR spectrometer, FT-IR, FT-Raman, UV/Vis spectrometers, UPLC-MSMS/PAD, HPLC, GC-FID, GC-MS, atomic absorption spectrometer, and a 28 core Linux cluster provide students with exceptional opportunities for hands-on research.
Program Options at CBU
The BET 3-year Chemical and 4-year Advanced Chemical programs are available through different pathways:
- Direct entry
- Advanced standing Post Diploma
- Advanced standing Post Degree
Post Diploma and Post Degree admissions will require a minimum of 50% of their BET degrees to be completed at CBU. Therefore a maximum of 45-credits (15, one term courses) may be transferred from an appropriate program at an approved post-secondary institution to the 3-year, 90-credit BET (Chemical) and a maximum of 60-credits (20, one term courses) may be transferred from an appropriate program at an approved post-secondary institution to the 4-year, 120-credit BET (Advanced Chemical).
*BET degrees do not lead to an engineering professional designation.
