Chemical Engineering A chemical engineer is a person who is skilled in the development, design, construction and operation of industrial plants in which matter undergoes a change. The chemical engineer is versatile, well-grounded in the sciences of chemistry, physics and mathematics, but also knows when to apply empirical engineering know-how to solve problems. Chemical engineers are involved in the manufacture of such commodities as synthetic fibres. plastics, fertilizers. detergents. salts. foods, pharmaceuticals, resins, petroleum products. and pulp and paper. Chemical engineers interact with natural resources and environment through their involvement with environmental protection. development of less polluting processes and in the management of energy. The Chemical Engineering Program places an emphasis on process engineering and related areas, such as. thermodynamics and plant design. Consequently. our graduates feel at home in industrial environments. Students commonly become involved in faculty research projects in the processing of uranium ores, biomedical engineering and oil sands, or in projects which are part of the federal network of centres of excellence in mechanical and chemi-meclianical pulping. Civil Engineering Civil engineering involves the planning, design. construction and rehabilitation of such engineering works as structures. airports, highways, dams and power projects, water supply and waste disposal systems, bridges, harbours, and industrial facilities. The civil engineering field is also concerned with problems in the areas of city planning, transportation and the environment. A diploma in Civil Engineering Technology prepares the graduate for positions in the design, construction, maintenance and operation of civil engineering works and systems. The graduate from the Civil Engineering Degree program is prepared for the conceptual and design activities in civil engineering by means of additional and more rigorous courses in mathematics, engineering sciences and civil engineering design. Elective courses and a senior year design project provide an opportunity for students to extend their knowledge in an engineering area of their choice. Students enjoy working on design and research in highway geometrics and transportation systems, high performance concretes, environmental issues. watershed analysis, foundation and slope stability projects and structural analysis and design engineering. As a civil engineer you will have the opportunity to provide the services that the public enjoys each day, namely. clean water, efficient transportation systems, quality environment, safe bridges. etc. �r'!' ~ ! Engineering Mechanical Engineering A mechanical engineer creates, integrates. and applies knowledge of science and technology chiefly to the design and manufacturing of products. As the name "mechanical" implies. machines play a large pare in this branch of engineering. Most of the things you use everyday were, in some way, touched by a mechanical engineer - from a soup can to the cars and buses in which you ride, from a jet airplane engine to the Canadarm used on NASA space shuttles. Mechanical engineers play an important role in the planning. designing, construction and maintenance of equipment used in manufacturing, as well as in the finished consumer products. A growing number are becoming involved in the nation's energy supply and quality of our environment. The Mechanical Engineering Technology program emphasizes a basic understanding of practical engineering principles and production methods to prepare the graduate to operate in design. development and production. Electrical Engineering The electrical engineering curriculum covers fundamental physical sciences. as well as the more practical areas of design and operation of industrial control systems. communications systems. electronic circuits, and the generation and distribution of electrical power. The Electrical Engineering Technology program includes the fundamentals necessary to prepare students for industrial positions in electrical power, communications. controls and electronics. The Bachelor of Engineering Degree program extends the student's capabilities into more advanced conceptual and design phases of electrical engineering through a series of core courses in engineering sciences and design. Elective courses and a final year project allow students to choose further study in areas such as fibre optics, fuzzy controls. satellite communications and power electronics. Electrical engineering has been in continuous development since its inception about a century ago. Considering "the revolutions" associated with solid state electronics. microprocessors, computers and in Canada's major high tech industry. communications, graduates have an excellent array of career opportunities. The Mechanical Engineering Degree program provides the student with a deeper understanding of engineering principles through rigorous study of applied mathematics and engineering sciences leading to design and industrial problem solving.

Reputation What first attracted me to Lake head was the reputation of their Nursing program. I'm glad to say that reputation held true. The friendly and casual campus is a warm welcome. Our small classes make learning easier and increase personal contact with the professors. Susan Osborne Choices Fourth year has proven to be by Jar the most exciting. With the freedom to select my own learning opportunity. I was able to explore an area that is not commonly characteristic of nursing. I had a placement at the Ottawa-Carleton Prison Health Care Services. This experience was unique in that it provided for an unconventional learning opportunity. in a setting reserved for some of Canada's most hardened criminals. By breaking away from the traditional hospital setting I was able to grasp a much greater understanding of the broad scope of nursing available to new grads. "Snuffy" Magee Skills and Experience Lakehead University has provided me with many opportunities to learn the ski/ls I'll need to be successful in my nursing career. To date I've completed a minor in gerontology and my placements have focussed on psychogeriatrics. medical day care. and palliative care in a local hospital unit.
