Chemists solve problems in the laboratory; chemical engineers solve them in industry. Sheridan's Chemical Engineering Technology diploma program offers education in both areas, but it stands out for its emphasis on true chemical engineering. Our strong focus on careers that involve complex, industrial-scale processes distinguishes Sheridan from other chemical engineering college programs. Chemical industries include pharmaceuticals, energy, plastics, paints, fuels, metals and food - an extremely broad range. In Sheridan's Chemical Engineering Technology diploma program, you'll acquire a broad range of fundamental skills that include: * Instrumental analysis and analytical chemistry * Organic, inorganic and physical chemistry * Design and operation of chemical processes * Environmental science * Process control

Chemical Engineering Technology graduates work with chemists and engineers in laboratory and industrial aspects of the chemical industries. On the laboratory side, careers are found in research and development, quality control, production support, and technical service and sales. On the industrial side, careers range from plant operations (using the latest in computer control systems) to technical sales and service for industrial equipment and chemicals. Chemical Engineering Technology graduates may work their way up to supervisory and management positions in both the laboratory and industry. The Chemical Engineering Technology Program is nationally accredited by the Canadian Technology Accreditation Board. Graduates have completed all the academic requirements for professional certification with the Ontario Association of Certified Engineering Technicians and Technologists (OACETT). Additional requirements for certification exist and are established by OACETT. Graduates are also eligible for membership in the Chemical Institute of Canada.
