Welcome to the CHBE website!
The Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering (CHBE) provides exciting opportunities to learn about the transformation of raw materials into valuable products by chemical, biochemical or physical processes.
As part of the ongoing seminar series, the CHBE Grad Club has organized an information session about the research and training programs offered by Mitacs. These are designed to enable graduate students to apply their research to real-world business challenges, and develop business and entrepreneurial skills, as well as long-term career success. Join us on January 30th at Noon in room 202. Read more here.
The second seminar of the "Professional Development Seminars", organized by the CHBE Graduate Club, was successfully held on November 30th with Professor John Grace as the speaker. Read more here.
The CHBE Grad Club received positive feedback based on the first seminar in October, so we are pleased to announce the second session to be held on November 30th at 12:00 pm in room 202. Dr. John Grace will join us to talk about "some perspectives based on multi-faceted experiences as an engineering professor". Get more details from the CHBE Calendar.

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Dr. Les Shemilt. Les was one of the stalwarts of the CHBE Department in its early years including a stint as Acting Head. Les always retained a strong connection with our department even though he went on to be a faculty member and Dean at two other Canadian Universities. Les passed away on December 20th, five days short of his 92nd birthday. Our condolences go out to his family and friends. You can read more on the Globe&Mail.
