Certificate in Industrial Chemistry

Criteria to earn the 27-credit certificate:

1. Not a standalone certificate – may only be earned as part of a 120 credit Bachelor of Science (BSc) Chemistry
2.  Included in the degree program would be 15-credits core to the certificate: CHEM2401 (industrial); CHEM2404 (environmental); CHEM3401 (spectroscopy); CHEM3403 (separations); CHEM4404 (chemical instrumentation design/troubleshooting).
3. Students choose from 6-credits as:     a. Option 1 (if BSc Major in Chemistry), CHEM3404 (fundamentals of chemical engineering) AND CHEM4801 (independent project – with an industrial, petroleum, or environmental analyses focus) Independent study projects could have industrial partners/co-supervisors; OR b. Option 2 (if Bachelor of Science (BSc) Honours in Chemistry), CHEM4900 (honours thesis with an industrial, petroleum, or environmental analyses focus).     Thesis projects could have industrial partners/co-supervisors.
4. 6-credits from two successful 15-week co-op work terms (from SSTC1989, SSTC2989, SST3989). Unless proprietary, the work term final    reports are to be graded by a CBU faculty/staff member and the employer – both to be approved by the CBU Department of Chemistry Chair. If proprietary, in advance of the work term, the CBU Department of Chemistry Chair and the industrial project supervisor would agree on the appropriate person to grade the final report(s). In exceptional circumstances a work term may be held at CBU if: 1. On an industrial project; and 2. With co-supervision from the industrial partner.
