82.4 Chemical Engineering Chemical engineers design the complex plants needed to convert a laboratory or pilot-scale experiment into an industrial operation capable ofproducing tons of material daily. Chemical engineers supervise the construction of these plants, and are also involved in running and maintaining them. These activities call for a thorough understanding of chemistry, physics, mathematics andmanyotherskills. The chemical engineer must understand the physics and mathematics behindtheproblemsofheatandmassflowwhenlargequantitiesofreactingmaterial must be heated or cooled, and moved from one section of the plant to another. He or she must understand the properties of the materials available to build theplant;howthey toleratehighpressuresand temperatures;andhowthey resist corrosion and wear. In the design and operation of biotechnology or environmental protection processes, the chemical engineer also needs to understand basic biological principles. Students study the fundamentals of chemistry, physics, and mathematics, then learn engineering science and design. Selecting appropriate electives allows studentstospecializeinoilsandsengineering,nanoscaleengineering,mineralprocessingandextractivemetallurgy,andpolymermaterials.See§§82.4.4and84.5.1formoredetails.

Examples ofmorespecializedareasofworkareacoustics,aerodynamics,biomechanicalengineering, combustion engines, energy conversion systems, environmental engineering, material science including fracture and fatigue, robotics and vehicle design. The undergraduate program initially exposes students to a wide range of topics covering the fundamentals. Advanced courses and technical electives providemorespecializedknowledgeandemphasizeapplications.Manycoursesinclude experimental laboratories to give students hands-on experiencewithcurrent engineering andmeasurement equipment. Throughout the program,several courses are devoted to mechanical engineering design. Workingon individual and group projects, students apply engineering principles tochallengingdesignprojectsanddevelopcommunicationskillsthroughoralandwritten presentations as well as preparation of drawings for fabrication in the department’smachineshop.Computersareusedextensively in theprogram;students are involved in programming and in using engineering analysis and designpackages.

82.10.1 Areas of Study

Solid Mechanics and Dynamics Mechanical engineers are involved in the design of structures andmechanical components to safely withstand normal working stresses.Manystructures andmachines are also subjected to additional stresses causedbyvibrations, for example, due to the imbalance in a compressor or engine, and these effects can be critical for their safe use. Stress analysis predicts the internal loads in a component and allows the designer to select materials and shapes suitable for the service the component will experience. Traditional materials such as steel and aluminium as well as recently developed materials such as ceramics and fibre-reinforced composites are considered to optimize the component’sperformance.

Fluid Mechanics Fluidmechanics isconcernedwith themotionsof liquidsandgasesandthemachinerythatcausesthatmotion(e.g.,pumps)orusesit(e.g.,windmills).Applications include acoustics, aerodynamics, meteorology, pollutant dispersion, pumps,fans,turbines,pipelines,andlubrication.Mechanicalengineerswithaspecializationinfluidmechanics,design,andimproveawiderangeoffluids-relatedequipmentaswellasinvestigateconcernsrelatedtotheflowofwaterandairintheenvironment.Anothermajorareaofworkformechanicalengineerswithafluidmechanicsbackgroundisintheaerodynamicsindustrydesigningeverythingfromwingstojetengines.

Thermodynamics Applied thermodynamics is the study of energy conversion from one form to another. A typical application is electricity production. Energy from the combustionof fuels like coal, oil, ornatural gas isused toheat a fluid suchas air or water, and then the fluid is expanded through machinery to produce mechanicalworkanddriveagenerator. Theelectricityproduced is aneasilytransported form of energy that can be used at locations remote to the original energysource.Mechanicalengineerswithaspecializationinthermodynamicsdesign and improve power plants, engines, heat exchangers, and other forms of equipment.Specificexamplesincludeheating,ventilationandairconditioningsystems for living space and industrial processes, use of alternate fuels in engines, and reducing pollution from internal combustion engines.

Design The design process starts with recognizing a need for a new product,device, or industrial process and then carries on to defining the problem to be solved,gatheringnecessaryinformation,performingtherequiredanalysisandoptimization, building prototypes, and evaluating different concepts. There isusually no single correct solution for a given design problem as different designs may all solve the same problem. Some designs are better than others, as they may be lighter or more efficient or cost less, so that by constant refinement and iteration throughout the design process, acceptable designs can be made.

Engineering Management Many engineering graduates spend a significant part of their career asmanagers of plants, companies, or other engineers. Engineering management bridges the gap between engineering and management. These engineers deal with areas such as management of engineering processes, engineering economics,operationsmanagement,qualityimprovement,qualitycontrol,andthe use of computers in business.

82.10.2 Biomedical Option in Mechanical Engineering Applications of mechanical engineering to biomedical problems range from understanding the intricacies of fluid flows in the heart and lungs to the design of artificial joints, implants, orthopedic devices, andmedical equipment andinstrumentation.

Spaces available after all eligibleapplicants from high school have been admitted are offered to students with post secondary transfer credit. Factors in selecting students from this group for admission are academic performance and the specific courses which earn transfer credit.

The Faculty offers a number of engineering degree program choices as indicated below:

Chemical ChemicalProcessControlOption ChemicalBiomedicalOption Civil CivilEnvironmentalOption CivilBiomedicalOption* Computer ComputerSoftwareOption ComputerNanoscaleSystemDesignOption Electrical ElectricalBiomedicalOption* ElectricalNanoengineeringOption EngineeringPhysics* EngineeringPhysicsNanoengineeringOption* Mechanical MechanicalBiomedicalOption** Materials MaterialsBiomedicalOption MaterialsNanoandFunctionalMaterialsOption Mining Petroleum MostoftheseprogramsareofferedinboththeTraditionalandCo-op

Students are admitted to a specialized programbased first of all onacademicperformanceinthefirstorqualifyingyearandsecondlyontheirprogram preferences. These preferences are communicated by completing aProgramSelectionForm(PSF).Allstudentsinthequalifyingyear,andnewapplicants,mustcompletethePSFwhichisaccessedthroughtheFacultyweb site. All applicants with previous postsecondary education must submit aPSF.Applicantswhodonothavesufficienttransfercreditforadmissiontoasecondyearprogram(tobedeterminedbytheFaculty)maybeconsideredforaqualifyingyear.

Studentswhoareofferedadmissiontooneofthespecializedprogramsmust register in the Fall and/or Winter Term immediately following;otherwise they must reapply and again compete for a space in these programs.

Spaces in each specialized program are reserved for students whodo not have an undergraduate engineering degree. Students who already hold an undergraduate engineering degree are not eligible for admission to a second undergraduate program in the Faculty. Study of a different engineering discipline can be done through registration as a Special Student or registration in a graduate program.

(2) Engineering Graduation Average

a. TheEngineeringGraduationAverage(EGA)isbasedonthefinalfouracademicterms.Ifthecourseloadinthesetermstotalslessthan70.0units,additionaltermswillbeincludedinthecalculationoftheEGAasrequiredtoreachatotalofat least70.0units.The70.0units includecourses designated as extra to degree. Grades for courses taken inSpring/SummerarenotincludedintheEGAunlessthisisascheduledtermwithinthestudent’sdegreeprogram.

b. Requirements to Graduate: To graduate, a student musti) passallcoursesrequiredbythespecificprogram;ii) haveanEngineeringGraduationAverageof2.0orgreater;iii) beinsatisfactoryacademicstanding,i.e.,haveaFall/WinterGPAof

The preceding paragraph also applies to any student who has completed allcourserequirementsandchoosestoreturnforanextraterm.ThecourseswhichthestudenttakesinthissubsequenttermaretobespecifiedbytheDean.

(3) Time Limit for Completion of Degree: All students must complete theirdegree requirementswithin72months from the timeof their initialadmissiontoaspecializeddegreeprograminEngineering.

The time measurement starts at the beginning of the term following a student’sinitialadmissiontoaspecializeddegreeprograminEngineering.This time limit includes all time during which a student is not in attendance either by personal choice or as a result of suspension or a requirementto withdraw. When a student encounters special circumstances thatnecessitate an absence from the University for an extended period of time, the student may apply to the Faculty for an extension to the degree time limit. Such an application must be made prior to the absence or at the earliest opportunity. Extensions are not granted for cases where a student has spent time on withdrawal or suspension.

(4) Course Load

a. Students in specialized degree programs are not required to meetanyminimumcourse load requirement except as noted in §83.3(5)b.

(14)Appeals

a. Academic Standing: A student wanting to appeal an academic standing decision must first attempt to resolve the issue with the Faculty of Engineering,AssociateDean (Student andCo-opServices). If thematter remains unresolved, the student may then appeal to the Faculty of Engineering Academic Appeals Committee. To do so, the student mustmakehis/her decision known to theDean inwritingwithin 28calendar days from the decision date. This is the date of the letter in which the student was first advised of the academic standing decision. The 28 days include mailing time and all time spent in attempting to resolve thematter with the Associate Dean (Student and Co-opServices).

Note: Letters are mailed to the student’s mailing address ofrecordasmaintainedbytheRegistrar’sOfficeandaredeemedtobedelivered when mailed. An unsuccessful appeal within the Faculty or any conditions imposed as part of the appeal decision within the Faculty may be carried to the General Faculties Council Academic AppealsCommittee. See §23.8. The appeal of any conditions in an appealdecision by the Faculty must occur within the timelines set out for any appealtotheGeneralFacultiesCouncilAcademicAppealsCommittee.The consequences resulting from a subsequent failure tomeet theconditions are not appealable.

b. Grievances Concerning Grades:Theassignmentofmarksandgradesis the initial responsibility of an instructor. Any grievances concerning grades should first be discussed with the instructor. If the problem is notresolved,thestudentshouldtalkwiththeChairoftheDepartmentwhere the course is taught.

For courses taught in the Faculty of Engineering, final recourse is to the Faculty of Engineering Academic Appeals Committee. To appeal to this committee, the student must submit the appeal in writing to the Deanwithin60calendardaysafterthefinalexaminationperiod.
