Technical and Non-Technical Courses
Courses can be categorized as either technical or non-technical. All graduate-level CHE courses are technical (unless assessed as “Not for credit**” in the technical/non-technical course list). MEng students are welcome to attend Lectures at the Leading Edge (CHE3001H), but it cannot be taken for credit. CHE1102H is a course for MASc and PhD students only and cannot be counted as one of the courses in the MEng.
A list of courses previously assessed as technical or non-technical is available here.
