CHE333H1 S (2025-present): Chemical Reaction Engineering
This course covers the basics of simple reactor design and performance, with emphasis on unifying the concepts in kinetics, thermodynamics and transport phenomena. Topics include flow and residence time distributions in various reactor types as well as the influence of transport properties (bulk and interphase) on kinetics and reactor performance. The interplay of these facets of reaction engineering is illustrated by use of appropriate computer simulations.
CHE220H1 F (2015-present): Applied Chemistry I – Inorganic Chemistry
This course examines the chemistry and physical properties of inorganic compounds, covering atomic structure, chemical reactions, equilibrium, solubility and complexation, acid–base behavior, electrochemistry, and bonding and molecular structure. Topics include atomic models and spectroscopy, metallurgical and engineering reactions, chemical and acid–base equilibria, solubility principles, redox processes, electrochemical cells and corrosion, and fundamental bonding theories such as Lewis structures, VSEPR, hybridization, and molecular orbital theory.
MSE217H1 S (2017-2025): Diffusion and Kinetics
This course covers the fundamentals of diffusion and kinetics, focusing on how and why materials transport and react, and the rates at which these processes occur. Topics include diffusion mechanisms, steady-state and non-steady-state diffusion, Fick’s laws, the Kirkendall effect, diffusion in metals, polymers, ionic and semiconducting materials, and thin-film diffusion. Kinetics topics include rate laws, reaction orders, Arrhenius behavior, reaction mechanisms, fluid–particle reactions, kinetic models, and basic reactor design, with applications to materials processing and design.
APS110H1 F (2017): Engineering Chemistry and Materials Science
This is an introductory course in materials science and physical chemistry. Topics include: mechanical behavior and structure-property relationships in metals and ceramics, crystal structure and defects, polymers structure and properties, optical properties, electronic configuration, bonding, the band theory, semiconductors, thermodynamics, and electrochemistry.
APS104H1 S (2015, 2016): Introduction to Materials and Chemistry
This was an introductory course in materials science and physical chemistry. Topics include: fundamentals of atomic, structure, bonding, crystal structure and defects, the laws of chemical thermodynamics, reaction equilibrium, and phase equilibria. These basic principles provide the foundation for an exploration of structure-property relationships in metals, ceramics, and polymers, with emphasis on mechanical properties.
