Chemical Engineering

Overview

B.Tech.Chemical Engineering or Bachelor of Technology in Chemical Engineering is an undergraduate Chemical Engineering course. The duration of the course is four years and it combines the study and application of the principles of chemistry and engineering to solve problems involving the production or use of chemicals, thus building a bridge between science and manufacturing. The degree provides thorough theoretical knowledge in the development and operation of chemical processing plants, as well as the equipment used in these plants. B.Tech. (Chemical Engineering) is a very valuable and career orienting one which opens a lot of jobs both in private and government sectors for the candidates.

Vision

The department is to be a nationally recognized undergraduate chemical engineering program and commitment to outstanding research and student education.

Mission

The department’s mission is to provide a high-quality education in chemical engineering at the undergraduate levels and prepares graduates to assume leadership positions within chemical and other associated industries. Provide service to the state, nation, and world by advancing the profession of chemical engineering.

Prospects

With a bachelor’s degree in chemical engineering, you will be able to design safe, sustainable, and economical equipment for large-scale chemical or biological manufacturing plants. Chemical engineers frequently work to protect the environment by inventing cleaner technologies or modeling the environmental impacts of chemical processes. Chemical engineers have contributed to major scientific breakthroughs, including the following:
  • Chemotherapy with reduced side effects
  • Vaccines that ward off epidemics
  • Cleaner sources of energy
  • Earth-friendly plastics
  • Greener chemical processes
  • Innovative consumer goods
  • Rapid blood-typing
  • Medical microdevices
  • Rechargeable batteries
  • Seawater desalination
