The Chemical Engineering Graduate Student Association (CEGSA) will be holding its annual elections on Wednesday, November 19, in E6-2024.

Vote for what you want to see happen in the Chemical Engineering community next year. And enjoy free pizza. 

CEGSA organises cultural activities and social events to provide a more enriched research experience for graduate students in the department. It also represents chemical engineering graduate students in departmental and university-wide committees.

The Department of Chemical Engineering invites you to a seminar about plant design by Elmo Nasato, who is a specialist in the sulfur recovery industry.

This full day conference for first and upper year engineer students will showcase a variety of guest speakers and workshops focused on helping participants navigate through both student life and career preparation. From planning out your next four years in undergrad to learning what to expect when you enter the workforce, this conference will help you gain the skills and knowledge needed to achieve your goals with confidence.

This event is 19+.

A relaxing social event for profs, grad students, and undergrads in engineering. Have a beer, tell some tales, and get to know the people at the front of the room or behind the seats of the class!

Thrive is a verb that means ‘to prosper’ and ‘to flourish.’ Thrive Week is a series of events focused on building positive mental health for University of Waterloo students, faculty and staff. The Department of Chemical Engineering welcomes every opportunity to support mental health and help develop the tools we need to prosper all year long in our personal, academic and professional lives.

Please come to our Department Lunchroom, E6-4024, between 1:30-4:00pm on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, where we encourage everyone to reflect on what wellness means for you.
