We organize a variety of events to help bridge the gap between academia and industry, providing students with the skills and network they need to succeed.
At the end of every summer, CSChE hosts a Summer Research Symposium which serves as a local Reg Friesen Oral Paper and Robert G. Auld Student Paper Competition. The judges, consisting of chemical engineering professors and PhD candidates, provide valuable feedback to participants to improve both their research and presentation skills.
Plant tours enable students to participate in guided tours of plants and operations in the industry. It allows students to connect their academic experience to real-world applications.
Past locations: Portlands Energy Centre (natural gas power plant), the R.C. Harris Water Treatment Plant, and the Toronto Rehabilitation Institute.
Each year we invite alumni from the Chemical Engineering Department to speak with current undergraduates about their careers and how studying chemical engineering at U of T has helped them in their professional endeavours.
Companies represented: Hatch, KPMG, AtkinsRealis, Li-Cycle, and McKinsey & Company.
Students attend Research Days to gain knowledge about the topics of research professors are currently working on in the faculty. At the end of the session, there is a networking opportunity to speak with professors, making this the perfect chance to find summer research positions and thesis supervisors.
This event provides a platform for students to communicate with their professors in an intimate and friendly environment. It also provides an opportunity for first year students to meet their would-be and future professors. We play trivia games and have a fun time with food and drinks.
The CSChE Conference (CCEC) is the largest annual gathering of chemical engineering professionals in Canada. Our chapter sends a delegation of students every year to network, attend workshops, and present research.
