Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) Chemical

1.0 Introduction

Chemical Engineering focuses on the application of engineering principles to the design, construction andoperation of industrial processing plants. A chemical engineer generally works at any industrial processingplant such as those dealing with petrochemicals, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, semiconductors, food

processing and other allied industries. The job involves supervision of plant operation and maintenance,troubleshooting operational problems related to process, and undertaking plant modification work forprocess operability and safety improvement.

The Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) Chemical programme stresses the need for a strong foundation inMathematics, Physics and Chemistry, followed by a thorough coverage of basic engineering courses such asFluid Mechanics, Thermodynamics and Mass & Heat Transfer. In the later years of study, students areexposed to Unit Operations, Reaction Engineering, Safety & Environment, Process Control and ProcessDesign. In addition to the above, at the end of their studies a student will have the opportunity to takespecial topics in one of these selected areas of interest:

Environmental and Sustainable Engineering

Process Plant Engineering

Gas and Petrochemical Engineering Process Analysis and Control

Process Plant Safety
