    Chemical Engineering Enrichment Program summary

    University of Ottawa's chemical engineering enrichment option connects chemistry, physics, and math with the processes used to turn raw materials into useful products.

    Students explore simulations and lab experiments, then apply engineering ideas to clean energy, water treatment, and pollution control.

    It suits students who want to test their interest in applied science and ask mentors what studying or working in the field involves.

    What is Chemical Engineering Enrichment Program?

    The Chemical Engineering Enrichment Program is a University of Ottawa Faculty of Engineering outreach option focused on applying chemistry, physics, and math to process design. Students explore how raw materials become valuable products through practical chemical engineering activities.

    The experience combines simulations and lab experiments with topics including thermodynamics, reaction engineering, engineering computation, and materials processing. Real-world challenges in clean energy, water treatment, and pollution control help students connect technical concepts with their uses, while enrichment mentors share experience and answer questions.

    Why Succeed highlights Chemical Engineering Enrichment Program

    • Simulations and lab experiments let students test their interest through practical work.

    • Clean energy, water treatment, and pollution control give the technical content a clear purpose.

    • The combination of chemistry, physics, and math shows how chemical engineering connects school subjects.

    • Mentor conversations offer a useful way to ask about university study and work in the field.

    Who is Chemical Engineering Enrichment Program for?

    Best for

    Students who enjoy chemistry and math and want to explore their use in practical engineering challenges.

    Not ideal if

    You mainly want a broad introduction to several engineering disciplines or a sustained independent research project.

    Is Chemical Engineering Enrichment Program worth it?

    This is a useful option for testing whether chemical engineering interests you beyond classroom chemistry. Practical experiments, simulations, and mentor conversations can help you identify which topics you would like to study further.

    The experience is introductory, so it is best approached as subject exploration rather than extensive research training. Students returning in another summer should also consider a different subject, because the enrichment curriculum does not change significantly from year to year.
