So I was choosing my streams for next year and I've put chemical as my first!

For people who are in chem eng right now, how do you find it? What are the easiest courses and hardest? What are the profs like?

im in first year too..do you know the cutoff for chem eng? is it a 4?

It was last year. Chem eng is normally the stream ppl go into with poor marks.

Beware: Heat Transfer, Process modelling 3g04, 2nd year math
Lawl: 2g03 english class, 2i03 is zzzz

Coming from my mistakes, do your work and don't fall behind. It actually isn't hard to get the marks I just failed at doing so.

I think the course loads are pretty heavy. My friends who were in chem eng have reports due like every week lol

not really!

@OP

its a love hate relationship. 2nd isnt too bad, 3rd year is a roller coaster.

Proffs are amazing!!! Easy going friendly induviduals.


Classes to be aware of: Nothing in 2nd year expect for Stats (wasnt the biggest fan)
3rd year: 3E04... thats pretty much it. Other course are work intensive but arent as bad. We still have final course projects due during the course of the the exam period

Looking at the courses jon found easy, I didn't do so well in them. Makes me wonder why I'm in chem eng -_-. Also beware 3rd year. If you're in straight chem the course load is stupid

Thoughts on chem eng... the few girls in engineering that actually look like girls usually end up in this stream:p

@ Ken I didnt do that great in 2d

"It was last year. Chem eng is normally the stream ppl go into with poor marks."

Not true. There are many good students in chemical engineering, lots on the deans honor list. Yes the cut off average is 4 but there are lots of other streams with 4 cut offs as well

...Get out .

well, at least the chem eng ones are. I know u guys have to take a couple, and they are pretty hard core

i think ill withdraw my earlier statement

Thanks guys! Does anyone know how many people apply or get in?

its hard to say how many ppl apply and/or get in.

In my year, we started out with about 103 people, which isnt alot.

I know that last year every1 decided to switch into chem eng and the acceptance average jumped up.
