Chemical Engineering

Chemical Engineering at the 2022 Dalhousie Engineering Capstone Conference

Chemical Engineers make processes better: they develop new materials and processes in the bioprocess industry (food, fiber, pharmaceutical), petrochemical process industry (oil, gas, plastics), energy engineering (energy efficiency, renewable sources), and several others. 

2022 Chemical Engineering Capstone Projects
