Department of Chemical and Petroleum Engineering
WELCOME TO CHEMICAL AND PETROLEUM ENGINEERING
The Department of Chemical and Petroleum Engineering at the Schulich School of Engineering offers both undergraduate and graduate degree programs and has 37 full-time faculty members with 12 prestigious research chairs, including five Canada research chairs, four NSERC Industrial Research Chairs, two endowed research chairs, and one university professorship. Message from the Department Head
The department is instrumental in providing excellence in education and research in two of the University of Calgary's strategic priorities:
- Leading Innovation in Energy and the Environment
- Advancing Health and Wellness
It is an integral component of the Institute for Sustainable Energy, Environment and Economy (ISEEE), which is mandated to focus a coordinated effort to research, develop and commercialize new energy technologies.
Supporting these objectives are several advanced research centres and laboratories including the Centre for Environmental Engineering Research and Education (CEERE), the Tomographic Imaging Porous Media Laboratory (TIPM), the Air Injection/In Situ Combustion Research Group, the Centre for In Situ Energy, the Gas Hydrates Research Group, and the Pharmaceutical Production Research Facility (PPRF).
