Chemical Engineering
Chemical Engineering at the 2019 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.
The posters presenting the 2019 chemical engineering capstone projects can be seen below.
