Lab work at R.M.C..

[Phoebe]

Is it typical for students that take programs such as Physical Sciences or Chemistry undergo experiments that would require working in a lab setting? For example, something like a titration?

Since R.M.C. is mostly an Engineering/Arts school, it sounds as if many students don't take these programs and as a result, the amount of lab work would be up to par to civilian post secondary institutions. This is important as this would not support the quality of the degree.

Now, I do understand that R.M.C. is a school more geared toward teaching students the skills that would assist them in being certified Canadian Forces Officers, but lab work is still important for degrees such as these.

Unless things have changed drastically from when I went there, there is in fact quite a bit of lab work that is done there.  I took Chemical Engineering and recall spending several afternoons a week in various types of labs.

Keep in mind that the school has a reactor (not just there to look pretty), houses the Environmental Sciences Group (was instrumental in DEW Line site clean-up) and has several post-graduate programs, from Computer Sciences/Engineering to Physics and Chemistry (Sciences and Engineering).

There is more lab time in 1st and 2nd year than you can shake a stick at. In 3rd and 4th it will depend on your course selection, but you will still have at least 2-3 labs a week (bare minimum).

You might want to do a bit more research on the facilities at RMC.
