In a short span of 8 years of its existence, the Department of Chemical Engineering has seen remarkable developments in evolving curricula, teaching, laboratory infrastructure and research programmes as well as consultancy and funded projects.
The Department has initiated a vigorous research program in a few thrust areas through significant funding from Industry and the Government funding agencies. This continually evolving program emphasizes on fundamental theory as well as practical applications in Chemical Engineering keeping in view the continuous changing scenarios in this discipline. Over the years, the academic program has evolved in to a strong core curriculum complemented by electives in the important emerging areas of Chemical Engineering. (Chemical) that reflects the evolution of the Department. Hons.) in Chemical Engineering and also a dynamic Higher Degree Programme – M. The Department of Chemical Engineering at BITS Pilani K K Birla Goa Campus offers a strong integrated First Degree academic program (B. Chemical Engineers sometimes are called "Universal engineers" in view of the broad spectrum of areas in which they contribute. Benefits include financial reward, recognition within industry and society, and the gratification that comes from working with the processes of nature to meet the needs of society. And yes, they process chemicals, which are used to make or improve just about everything you see around you.Chemical engineers face many of the same challenges that other professionals face, and they meet these challenges by applying their technical knowledge, communication and teamwork skills the most up-to-date practices available and hard work. They also construct the synthetic fibers that make our clothes more comfortable and water resistant they develop methods to mass-produce drugs, making them more affordable and they create safer, more efficient methods of refining petroleum products, making energy and chemical sources more productive and cost effective.Ĭhemical Engineers also develop solutions to environmental problems, such as pollution control and remediation. Specifically, Chemical Engineers improve food processing techniques, and methods of producing fertilizers, to increase the quantity and quality of available food. Their expertise is also applied in the areas of law, education, publishing, finance, and medicine, as well as in many other fields that require technical training. Don't make the mistake of thinking that chemical engineers only “make things,” though. And, of course, they draw upon and apply their engineering knowledge to solve any technical challenges they encounter.
Within these industries, Chemical Engineers rely on their knowledge of mathematics and science-particularly Chemistry- to overcome technical problems safely and economically. Chemical Engineers work in manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, healthcare, design and construction, pulp and paper, petrochemicals, food processing, specialty chemicals, microelectronics, electronic and advanced materials, polymers, business services, biotechnology, and environmental health and safety industries, among others. It would take too long to list all the products that are impacted by chemical engineers, but knowing what industries employ them may help you comprehend the scope of their work. What Do Chemical Engineers Do? (As per AIChE) With exposure to the fundamental subjects of Chemistry, Biology, Mathematics, and Physics Chemical Engineers are able to work in close collaboration with fellow engineering disciplines like Materials Science, Computer science, and Mechanical, Electrical, and Civil engineering - Chemical engineering offers unparalleled opportunities to do great things. The strong technical and social ties that bind Chemistry and Chemical engineering are unique in the fields of science and technology.Ĭhemical Engineering today occupies a unique position at the interface between Molecular Sciences and Engineering. The difference between Chemical Engineers and other engineers is that it is the Chemical Engineer alone that draws upon the vast and powerful science of Chemistry to solve a wide range of problems. Like all engineers, Chemical engineers use math, physics, and economics to solve technical problems.
