Advanced Diploma Chemical Production & Power Engineering Technology - Accelerated

Course Description

The Accelerated Chemical Production & Power Engineering Technology (CPEX) program has been designed for graduates with a B.Sc. (Chemistry) or equivalent. CPEX students will study core courses taught in the three-year CPET program and the principles underlying the complex technologies used in today’s processing industries. Students train in Lambton’s Centre of Excellence for Process Manufacturing which contains complex lab and pilot plant facilities. This Centre duplicates a real-life manufacturing environment and the technologies developed can easily be scaled-up and transferred to the actual operating unit. Students also have the benefit of participatory projects that emphasize teamwork, communication, interpersonal and problem-solving skills. This program has certain physical requirements. Graduates will have the academic preparation to write the TSSA Operating Engineering examinations. Students have the advantage of attaining an industry certification which can lead to a variety of career opportunities. Note: Some, or all, of this program may be taken online. This program is currently not eligible for Operating Engineering practical time reduction. The Ontario Association of Certified Engineering Technicians and Technologists (O.A.C.E.T.T.) recognizes this program as meeting all the academic requirements for certifications in the Certified Engineering Technology (C.E.T.) category.
