Bachelor of Applied Science in Engineering Chemistry - Alternative Energy

Queen's University

Satisfying the energy needs of an expanding global population is one of the most important challenges of this generation’s engineers. Electrochemical technology for energy conversion and storage is needed to shift from non-renewables to more sustainable, distributed energy systems. This includes batteries, electrolyzers, fuel cells and supercapacitors, all of which are constructed using electrochemistry.Situated at the interface of applied chemistry and engineering design, the Engineering Chemistry program is uniquely positioned in the field of alternative energy. The curriculum combines fundamental electrochemistry with chemical thermodynamics and transport phenomena, producing graduates capable of creating, testing and manufacturing energy systems for consumer and industrial applications.
