REMINDER: Looking to get rid of old books?

The Department is collecting old chemical engineering books to ship over to the University of the West Indies. If you have books that you'd like to contribute, please let Paul (paul.jowlabar@utoronto.ca) know and he will make arrangements with you for pick-up. Below are details regarding the collection:

  • Mostly used books, but new is ok too.
  • All text books must be at the undergraduate level.
  • Mostly chemical engineering books, but other related subjects welcome.
