First, the course overview
This major provides applicants with master of engineering and doctor of philosophy courses. By studying partnerships and contracts, teachers in this discipline have received strong support from government plans and industries. Our laboratory is equipped with the most advanced equipment, and we have attracted outstanding graduate students from all over the world.
Our main research fields at present are briefly described as follows:
Advanced materials and polymers, the subject has internationally recognized research plans in structure, function and biomaterials, covering synthesis, characterization, processing and modeling activities, and has close ties with academic, government and industrial research centers. The fields include plasma treatment (such as nanofluids, carbon nanotubes, advanced coatings) and polymer or "soft" materials research (such as self-assembly or structured materials; Complex fluid; Liquid crystal; Colloids and soft composites; And new polymerization methods). The application goal of this research is to develop the next generation of high-density storage media, functional coatings, electronic devices, composite fluids and "smart" materials, just to name a few.
Biomedical engineering and biotechnology, most professors in this department are involved in bioengineering. This is a very extensive research field, including biotechnology and biomedical engineering. Biotechnology is a comprehensive method that combines life sciences (such as biochemistry and cell biology) with process engineering, design and amplification principles. This is the use of biological systems or organisms to do practical things and make valuable products, such as bio-hydrogen, drugs, therapeutic agents, polymers and surfactants. Biomedical engineering combines the principles of engineering and medicine as well as life science and biology. Examples of this include: the mode of administration; Biomedical equipment; Cardiovascular and other biomechanics; Biological materials for artificial implants and other applications; Phage and other products used in alternative therapeutic techniques.
Since the steam engine started the industrial revolution, the use of energy has greatly increased. This is because the population is growing, the output of consumer goods is increasing, and the use of energy-intensive equipment such as cars, mobile phones, computers and climate comfort equipment is increasing. The instability of oil production and the inevitable depletion of fossil fuels force scientists to find new resources and develop new technologies to keep up with the growth of energy demand.
The Department of Chemical Engineering of McGill University has carried out a lot of energy-related research, including:
Hydrogen is generated by microbial transformation of wastewater and electrolysis of water;
Molecular simulation of hydrogen storage and hydrogen storage;
Hydrogen fuel cells and solid oxide fuel cells;
Recovery, storage and transportation of methane by using natural gas hydrate;
Oil and gas flow guarantee;
Plasma technology produces nanomaterials for energy conversion/storage devices.
Environmental engineering, environmental engineering is the application of science and engineering principles to protect the environment and repair polluted places. Chemical and environmental engineers develop and design processes to provide healthy air, water and soil. They also develop green products and sustainable processes. With their backgrounds in process engineering, environmental chemistry, earth science and biology, engineers must meet the current and future challenges in protecting, managing and restoring the environment.
The ongoing research in the field of environmental engineering in our college includes:
Study on wastewater treatment technology;
Biodegradation of emerging pollutants;
Advanced oxidation process;
Transportation and destination of aquatic pollutants;
Production of alternative fuels;
Environmental nanotechnology is used to repair polluted soil and water;
Green chemistry of safer products and processes;
Development of biosensor for pollutant detection.
In plasma science and engineering, plasma is usually called the fourth state of matter, which is the result of raising gas to energy level. It contains conductive particles, such as electrons and ions. Although most of the universe is in a plasma state, plasma on the earth is relatively uncommon. Plasma science and engineering research uses plasma state to produce physical and chemical changes of substances (volume and surface). Plasma may be in a non-equilibrium state, that is, the whole gas is in a low temperature state, only electrons are in a high energy state, or it may be in an equilibrium state, and the temperatures of all components are basically the same, which can be between several thousand and dozens. Thousands of kelvin (for example, the surface of the sun is in a plasma state with a temperature of about 6,000K). Non-equilibrium plasma is used in applications such as coating deposition and surface functionalization, cell treatment and harmful gas and liquid treatment. Thermal plasma is used to synthesize advanced materials, such as nanoparticles, carbon nanotubes and coatings, as well as to treat toxic and persistent wastes and metallurgical processing.
Second, the degree setting
1. Master of Engineering (Chemical Engineering) (45 credits)
Chemical engineering is a research-oriented degree, which allows candidates to expand their knowledge of chemical engineering through course assignments and research papers under the supervision of teachers (professors), thus improving their skills. This course not only provides basic knowledge, but also provides advanced training in research methods, so it is a more suitable choice for people who are mainly interested in research. Graduates of this degree either pursue a doctorate. Or work in industry.
2. Master of Engineering Chemistry Engineering (non-thesis) (45 credits)
Chemical engineering (non-dissertation) is a course-based degree, including short-term courses completed under the guidance of teachers (professors). Through this course, graduate students can improve their knowledge in various chemical engineering disciplines through course assignments and technical training.
3. Master of Engineering Chemical Engineering (non-thesis): Environmental Engineering (45 credits)
Chemical engineering (non-thesis) and environmental engineering are professional editions of chemical engineering (non-thesis) of M.Eng This interdisciplinary postgraduate course will receive a master's degree in environmental engineering. The goal of this course is to train senior environmental professionals. This course is designed for individuals with a bachelor's degree in engineering. This part-time degree is a project offered by M.Eng and the Department of Biological Resources, Chemistry, Civil Engineering and Mining, and Metal and Materials Engineering of the Master of Science. The course of environmental engineering emphasizes interdisciplinary basic knowledge, practical viewpoint and understanding of environmental problems. This is a course-oriented degree, including compulsory courses related to environmental engineering and short-term courses completed under the supervision of teachers (professors). Through this course offered in cooperation with McGill Environmental College, graduate students can specialize in environmental engineering.
4. Doctor of Philosophy (Chemical Engineering)
Doctoral degree is a research degree, which requires fewer courses and more papers. It was conducted under the supervision of teachers (professors) and made a unique contribution to knowledge. This course prepares for teaching, research and/or development, and graduates are expected to gain autonomy in research. McGill also provides various seminars, general, transitional and professional skills development opportunities, and prepares postdoctoral students for career choices.
