Department of Chemical Engineering
Courses Offered
- UG - B.Tech .Chemical Engineering
Introduction
The Department of Chemical Engineering was started in the year 1997 and presently functioning with a sanctioned student intake of 30 for UG (B. Tech Chemical Engineering), affiliated to Anna University Chennai. Chemical Engineering deals with the application of physical science (Physics and Chemistry) with mathematics, to the process of converting raw materials or chemicals into more useful or valuable forms. Majority of our passed-out students are well placed in the private and public sector companies and few students have completed their higher studies in reputed institutions. The curricula and syllabi for the undergraduate courses have been periodically updated in line with modern day developments in the chemical engineering arena and taking into account the demands of industry and R&D institutions. Students are highly encouraged to participate in workshops, conferences and technical symposium organized by the affiliated/autonomous institutions/universities to ensure that they gain knowledge beyond the classroom teaching. Industrial visits and lectures from academic/industrial experts are organised in order to keep informed about the latest technologies and updation involved in industries and R&Ds.
Vision
- To provide accessible, high-quality engineering education that transforms students into successful chemical engineers through sustainable technological innovation and fostering globally competent professionals.
Mission
- To create a supportive and inclusive learning environment that empowers students from various socio-economic background to overcome challenges and achieve their full potential, transforming them into competent and confident chemical engineers.
- To equip students with the technical, communication, and problem-solving skills necessary to succeed in a globalized engineering profession
- To create the students as qualified chemical engineers, technologists and academicians with high values in moral and ethics.
