The student must be registered full-time in the first year of a research-based Master's or Doctoral program in the Department of Chemical Engineering in the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Waterloo. If an eligible candidate cannot be found in a particular year within the Department of Chemical Engineering, the award will be extended to other departments in the Faculty of Engineering where preference will then be given to students whose research crosses over with Chemical Engineering. Selection will be based on academic achievement (minimum 80% cumulative average or equivalent). Selection of an eligible recipient will be made automatically in the Spring term by the Associate Dean, Graduate Studies in the Faculty of Engineering.
