The main objective of  the " polytechnic " minors organized by the Faculté des Sciences Appliquées is for a student taking the engineering science baccalaureate, should s/he so wish, to acquire, via a major/minor polytechnic combination, basic training in two specialist areas of engineering science, and thus to broaden his/her range of technical skills, or to prepare for a master's in engineering science which spans the basic courses offered at baccalaureate level. .

The disciplinary objectives of the minor in applied chemistry and physics are to help the student, as part of a multidisciplinary training program :

• gain a deeper understanding and develop his/her basic skills in chemistry and physics (including thermodynamics), acquainting him/herself with the main application of chemical and environmental engineering, engineering of advanced materials and applied physics;
• get to grips with the mathematical formalisms used in applied physics and in chemical engineering. There are various phases to the course, starting with the atomic dimensions of the course and leading on to the macroscopic and industrial areas, and it provides an insight into the areas in which a chemical engineer or physicist works (biotechnology, nanotechnology, electronics, optics, advanced materials (polymers, ceramics, metals, composites) sensors and transducers, reactors, etc).

This polytechnic minor is mainly intended for students enrolled on the baccalaureate in engineering science (civil engineering and architectural civil engineering). Each baccalaureate student taking the engineering science (civil engineering and architectural civil engineering) program therefore has access to the course, apart from the course which has the same title as the major s/he has chosen, of course. 

Furthermore, the minor may be taken by students enrolled on other baccalaureate programs (sciences).

The polytechnic minor in applied chemistry and physics is accessible to students enrolled on a baccalaureate in physical science, mathematical science, geographical science or chemical science as well as to bachelors in biological science, on the file.

Minor activities must be taken in an order that respects the following requirements: 

- MAPR1491 must come before MAPR1492
- MECA1901 must come before MECA1100A

Polytechnic minors provide students who have performed well and acquired a bachelor's qualification in engineering science-civil engineering, as part of a program which includes one of these minors, with unconditional access without further training to the master's in civil engineering which corresponds to this minor.

• For the minor in applied chemistry and physics: the master's in civil engineering in chemistry and material science and the master's in physicist-civil engineering.
• For the minor in construction: the master's in civil engineering in construction 
• For the minor in electricity: the master's in electrician civil engineer 
• For the minor in IT: the master's in IT civil engineer 
• For the minor in mechanics: the master's in mechanic-civil engineer 
• For the minor in applied mathematics: the master's in civil engineer in applied mathematics 
• For a program which combines a major in electricity/minor in mechanics or major in mechanics/minor in electricity: the master's in electromechanical/civil engineering.
