What we do · 01
Events that bridge the gap between academia and industry — giving you the skills, experience and network 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. Judges — chemical engineering professors and PhD candidates — give participants valuable feedback to improve both their research and their presentation skills.

Companies represented: Hatch, KPMG, AtkinsRéalis, Li-Cycle, and McKinsey & Company.
Learn what professors in the faculty are researching right now. Each session ends with a networking opportunity to speak with professors — the perfect chance to find summer research positions and thesis supervisors.
A relaxed, friendly setting for students to talk with their professors — and for first-years to meet their future ones. Expect trivia, food and drinks.
The CSChE Conference 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.
