What is Chemical Engineering?
Chemical engineering is a branch of engineering that deals with chemical production and the manufacture of products through chemical processes. This includes designing equipment, systems and processes for refining raw materials and for mixing compounding and processing chemicals to make valuable products. It differs from chemistry mainly in the focus on large scales or commercial.To do these jobs, chemical engineers must have a complete and quantitative understanding of both the engineering and scientific principles underlying these technological processes. This is reflected in our department curriculums, which include the study of applied mathematics, material and energy balances, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, energy and mass transfer, separations technologies, chemical reaction kinetics and reactor design, and process design.
Message from Department Chairman
The department is committed to provide education quality to chemical engineering students, who after graduation, can take responsibility in their respective careers in the society and industry. The department takes great emphasis on student to staff relations and interactions that would lead to a process of effective learning and character building. Practical industrial summer training program for senior chemical engineering students gives them opportunities to obtain the first taste of professional experiences. Through close supervision with the faculty members working on diversed areas of research, our graduate students acquire research planning, problem solving, and technical communication skills necessary for their future career advancement.
