About the Programme

Chemical Engineering is the branch of engineering which deals with the processing of raw materials to desired products on large scale with the objective of the economical and successful design of unit processes and unit operations for commercial purposes.

Scope

A chemical engineer is required to:

To design equipments and operate chemical plants.
To determine the problems and find the best methods of production.
To create synthetic replacements for those natural materials and resources those are in short supply.
To improve and maintain of the quality of human life.
As these requirements are in great demand, the scope for a chemical engineer is vast and varied when compared to the other branches of engineering.
