The Engineering Externship Program (EEP) allows Chemical Engineering students, after completing the third year of the Biochemical and Environmental Engineering Option, an additional opportunity to pursue an eight-month Biotechnology Certificate Program at Fanshawe College. It is anticipated that this type of externship opportunity could provide students with additional optional skills outside of the regular Chemical and Biochemical Engineering curriculum.

Chemical Engineering students who wish to exercise this option must apply for the EEP course ES 2276 following their third year of Chemical Engineering (Biochemical and Environmental Engineering Option). Western Engineering controls entry into the program.  If accepted into the program, students will take the courses specified by the certificate program linked to ES 2276.
