Administrative history
The first course in Chemical Engineering was offered at the University of Alberta in 1926 in the Department of Chemistry. The first BSc in the subject was granted in 1928, but it wasn’t until 1946 that the Department of Chemical Engineering was founded in the Faculty of Applied Science. The department granted its first PhD in 1961, the first MSc in the subject having been granted in 1945. Between 1948-1973, the department combined with the discipline of petroleum engineering under the name of the Department of Chemical and Petroleum Engineering. In 1996, the department merged with elements of the Department of Mining Engineering to form the Department of Chemical and Materials Engineering.
The Department aimed to contribute to the development of Alberta's resources and industry and maintain teaching and research worthy of international recognition by training chemical engineers on the undergraduate level for professional practice and by conducting graduate, continuing education, research, and technology transfer programs.
