Bachelor of Engineering Technology (Chemical)
The Bachelor of Engineering Technology in Chemical is a program with three or four year options. Combining theoretical principles with technical expertise, this degree takes an applied approach to not only chemical processes, but instrumentation and sample analyses. With great relevance to other fields of study such as engineering and nanotechnology, medicine and dentistry, food sciences and environmental sciences, the Chemical Engineering Technology programs provide a gateway into many interesting and opportunity-filled careers.
Students have great opportunities for hands-on research with state-of-the-art equipment, including a 400 MHz NMR spectrometer, FT-IR, FT-Raman, UV/Vis spectrometers, UPLC-MSMS/PAD, HPLC, GC-FID, GC-MS, atomic absorption spectrometer and a 28 core Linux cluster.
Program Options at CBU
The BET 90 Credit Chemical and 120 Credit Advanced Chemical programs are available through different pathways:
- Direct entry
- Advanced standing Post Diploma
- Advanced standing Post Degree
Post Diploma and Post Degree admissions will require a minimum of 50% of their BET degrees to be completed at CBU. Therefore, a maximum of 45-credits (15, one term courses) may be transferred from an appropriate program at an approved post-secondary institution to the 90-credit BET (Chemical) and a maximum of 60-credits (20, one term courses) may be transferred from an appropriate program at an approved post-secondary institution to the 120-credit BET (Advanced Chemical).
Please see Program Details for more on the structure of this degree. Please see Admission Requirements for entry into this program.
Note: The BET degrees do not lead to a professional engineering designation.
