Program Overview
B.Eng. in Chemical Engineering introduces students to the design and troubleshoot processes for the production of chemicals, fuels, foods, pharmaceuticals, and biologicals, just to name a few. Graduates will most often be employed by large-scale manufacturing plants to maximize productivity and product quality while minimizing costs. The subject draws a connection between science and its application to manufacturing sectors. Candidates will be strengthened in their leadership skills, problem-solving abilities and designing of projects from start to end level.
The program comprises of classroom study, lab practice and projects along with assignments, whereby students are given an in-depth understanding of the sector procuring knowledge of development, chemical plants operation, working of equipment used in chemical processing plants and so on, which thereby lets candidate gain a wide perspective of workings, applicable in private and public sectors.
As the program also involves subjects like biotechnology and Textile engineering, candidates will gain insight on how to deal with methods of reducing bio-hazards and environmental waste. B.Eng. in Chemical Engineering is considered one of the highest paying sectors as its application ranges to a wide spectrum of fields, thus attracting a wide range of students to opt for it.
PROGRAM OBJECTIVES
The Educational Objectives of the Chemical Engineering Program are:
- To provide chemical engineering students with a strong technical education and communication skills that will enable them to have successful careers in a wide range of industrial and professional environments.
- To prepare chemical engineering students for rapidly changing technological environments with the core knowledge central to multidisciplinary development and personal improvement throughout their professional careers.
- To instill in chemical engineering students a strong sense of humanistic values and professionalism such that they can conduct ethically and knowledgeably regarding technological impact in societal issues.
The curriculum is designed to prepare chemical engineering graduates for further education and personal development through their entire professional career. We strive to accomplish these goals by providing a rigorous and demanding curriculum that incorporates lectures, discussions, laboratory and project development experiences in basic sciences, mathematics, engineering sciences, and design as well as the humanities and social sciences.
Learning Outcomes
During the course of study in Chemical Engineering, the student should demonstrate:
- An ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics
- An ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental and economic factors
- An ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences
- An ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgements, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental and societal contexts
- An ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives
- An ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgement to draw conclusions
- An ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.
In addition to the general university requirements candidates must obtain a minimum of grade D at the Advanced level in Chemistry or Biology and any other science subject. Candidates with Baccalaureate in Sciences are also admitted.
Graduates from this program can occupy job positions in industries as;
- Biochemical Engineer, Food Technologist, Brewing Engineer, Manufacturing System Engineer, Production Manager, Process Engineer, Process Safety Consultant, Ceramic Engineer, Energy Engineer, Pharmaceutical
