The Shanghai Ranking Consultancy, which also publishes the prestigious Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU), is an independent organization dedicated to “research on higher education intelligence and consultation.” It has been using a transparent methodology and objective third-party data to rank and present the world’s top universities��since 2003 and academic subjects since 2009.

The measures universities’ quality of education, faculty, research output and influence, as measured by citations.

When the coronavirus pandemic necessitated the closure of university campuses across Canada, the Department of Chemical Engineering quickly transitioned the last few weeks of classes online so students could finish their term from the safety of home. At the same time, our spring term instructors began adapting their lectures, which would begin in just a few short weeks, for online delivery. Now, with these experiences as a foundation, we are building upon our successes and incorporating the best aspects of remote teaching into our plans for future terms.��

Park Reilly, who taught in the Department of Chemical Engineering between 1967 and 1988 and continued taking on graduate students long after, has .

The Capstone Design project reinforces the concepts of team work, project management, research and design. This year’s fourth-year Chemical Engineering students added video production to the list of skills they learned from the project.

Ralph Dickhout,��Chemical Engineering’s Manager of Analytical Services and Laboratory Safety, retires after providing behind-the-scenes support for the research conducted in the department for almost thirty years.

Department of Chemical Engineering’s Professor Marc Aucoin and two colleagues from the University of ��ݮ��Ƶ’s School of Pharmacy lean on years of collaboration across disciplines as they join the race to develop a vaccine for COVID-19.

University of ��ݮ��Ƶ chemical engineering professor Bill Anderson continues his work to mitigate the shortage of protective gear needed by healthcare workers during the COVID-19 crisis by enabling the safe re-use of existing equipment.

Professor Bill Anderson from the Department of Chemical Engineering is applying his expertise with UV-C disinfection to tackle a timely and potentially life-threatening problem: the shortage of N95 filtering facepiece respirators (FFRs) that protect users from particles and aerosols in the air that they breathe.

Congratulations to Christopher Deutschman, Keith Cleland and Sabrina Mattiasi for their first-, second- and third-place finishes in Chemical Engineering’s Three Minute Thesis (3MT) department heat on February 4^th.
