Chemical and Petroleum Engineering - MEng - Cohort

PLEASE NOTE: This program is not currently accepting applications

The MEng in Chemical and Petroleum Engineering gives you a competitive leg-up whether you are focusing your career in a specific area or expanding your opportunities across sectors. As a student in this high-impact, condensed cohort program, you will complete your degree in eight months over the Fall and Winter term of one academic year. This program is course-based, designed to expand your knowledge of chemical and petroleum engineering beyond the undergraduate level. In addition to preparing you for advanced positions in the energy and petrochemicals sectors, you could also tailor your program to expand your career in pharmaceuticals, food products, metals, fertilizers, synthetic materials and beyond. The professional development courses that are integral to this program will ready you for management positions as well. Part-time options are not available through this expedited program, but are available through our regular MEng in chemical and petroleum engineering program.

Petroleum engineers take part in exploring for and developing oil and gas resources. They apply the principles of geology, physics, chemistry, and engineering sciences to recovering petroleum and natural gas from conventional and unconventional reservoirs and oil sands. In today’s increasingly digital environment, petroleum engineers also work in software development for chemical process/petroleum reservoir simulation, data collection and analysis.

Also known as: Design Engineer, Drilling Engineer, Oil and Gas Engineer, Petrophysical Engineer, Production Engineer, Reservoir Engineer, Up-Stream Processing Engineer, Process Engineer, Petroleum Reservoir Engineer, Petroleum Production Engineer

A course-based master's degree in chemical and petroleum engineering is usually considered a final degree.
