Environmental safety ranks among Canada's top public concerns - and its leading growth industries. Sheridan's Chemical Engineering Technology - Environmental diploma program offers a rigorous environmental college education that prepares students for specialized careers in environmental science, the environmental industry, the chemical industry and the laboratory.
You'll learn to use applied chemical engineering to ensure environmentally friendly industrial operations, clean up polluted sites, and help enforce environmental regulations. The Chemical Engineering Technology - Environmental diploma program includes courses in:
- Solid waste, air pollution and wastewater treatment
- Environmental auditing
- Environmental regulations and laws
- Instrumental analysis and analytical chemistry
- Design and operation of chemical processes
Sophisticated Facilities and Hands-on Experience
You'll work in some of the most sophisticated college environmental science facilities and chemical laboratories in Canada, getting hands-on experience with state-of-the-art chemistry and chemical engineering technology. Sheridan's environmental science labs include pilot plant systems that simulate industrial operations for environmental control and chemical production.
This program shares a common academic core with the Environmental Technician, Chemical Engineering Technology and Chemical Laboratory Technician programs, so it's easy to transfer to a different program. After earning a Chemical Engineering Technology - Environmental diploma, our graduates frequently obtain university degrees in chemistry, chemical engineering and environmental science.
The Chemical Engineering Technology - Environmental Program includes three paid co-op work placements that offer valuable experience and professional contacts. Enrolment is limited through an additional co-op selection process; see Cooperative Education for details.
Chemical Engineering Technology - Environmental courses are taught at the Davis Campus in Brampton, Ontario.
Chemical Engineering Technology - Environmental graduates work on teams that include chemists, engineers, researchers and scientists. Many go on to perform key functions in both government and industry in the environmental regulatory process. They work in laboratory, industrial and field settings, finding careers in areas such as:
- Laboratories for environmental analysis, research and development, or quality control
- Environmental enforcement
- Operations of environmental and industrial processes
- Technical service and sales for chemical supplies
With experience, graduates may move to supervisory and management positions.
The Chemical Engineering Technology - Environmental Program is nationally accredited by the Canadian Technology Accreditation Board. Graduates have completed all the academic requirements for professional certification with the Ontario Association of Certified Engineering Technicians and Technologists (OACETT). Additional requirements for certification exist and are established by OACETT. Graduates are also eligible for membership in the Chemical Institute of Canada.
PROGRAM ELIGIBILITY
Ontario Secondary School Diploma or equivalent, including these required courses:
- One English, Grade 12 (ENG4C or ENG4U)
plus
- One Chemistry, Grade 11 (U) or Grade 12 (C)
- Grade 12 Mathematics for College Technology (MCT4C) or Grade 11 Functions (MCF3M) or Grade 11 Functions and Relations (MCR3U) or
any Grade 12 (U) mathematics course
or
Mature student status. (See "Admissions" section for details.)
Applicants who do not meet the admission requirements will be invited to complete pre-admission tests in mathematics and English. Applicants asked to take the test are considered for admission to Term 1 contingent on receiving a minimum grade of 60% in both the pre-admission mathematics/English tests. Applicants who are lacking the mathematics admission requirements for this program may be able to be admitted into this program with additional courses completed in their first year at Sheridan. There may be additional cost involved depending on the program.
Applicant Selection
Eligible applicants will be selected on the basis of their previous academic achievement (the average of their six highest senior-level credits, including required courses), and/or results of pre-admission testing.
Applicants who do not meet the admission requirements for this program will be assessed and advised individually and may be considered for other, related programs.
Admission at an Advanced Level (Direct Entry)
Students may apply for admission at an Advanced Level (Direct Entry) to Year 2 of this program if they have relevant credits from a university or college. Students may have to complete certain courses from Year 1 prior to graduation.
