Title of the Programme
The programme shall be Bachelor of Engineering in Chemical Engineering
Engineering B.Eng. (BECE)
- Background
B.E Chemical Engineering is an undergraduate program in Chemical Engineering. The course spans for a duration of 4 years, the eligibility of which is qualifying 10+2 examination, along with clearing various national and state level entrance examinations as applied for the course. The program is covered in 8 terms which gives a comprehensive study of theories and management skills used in engineering.
In four years you’ll learn to design and develop the chemical processes and equipment you’ll use in your future career. With climate change being an important consideration across all sectors, you’ll examine environmental issues and pollution control by optimizing the systems and equipment used in chemical, industrial, biological and environmental processes.
This degree was designed to be relevant to the world we live in today. You’ll not only gain an in-depth knowledge of chemical engineering but you’ll also receive training in management, quality control, critical analysis and economics to meet current demands on professional chemical engineers. In addition to our core courses you can explore electives in Sustainable Product Engineering and Design, Data-Driven Decision Making, Systems Engineering, Software Engineering Fundamentals and Grand Challenges for Engineering.
- Justification
B.E Chemical Engineering introduces the students to the principles of chemistry linking it to engineering in order to explain the problems involved in production and use of chemicals. The subject draws a connection between science and its application to manufacturing sectors. Candidates are strengthened in their leadership skills, problem-solving abilities and designing of projects from start to end level.
The program comprises of classroom study, lab practice and projects along with assignments, whereby students are given an in-depth understanding of the sector procuring knowledge of development, chemical plants operation, working of equipment used in chemical processing plants and so on, which thereby lets candidate gain a wide perspective of workings applicable in private and public sectors.
- The targeted group includes holders of:
-Advanced Level Certificate of Education;
-Diplomas in Engineering and other related Science and Technology fields;
-Degrees in the Physical Sciences.
If you are over the age of 21 at the time of commencement, you can apply for admission into this course on the basis of provisional entry, and complete the provisional entry qualifying period to become a full candidate.
- General Objectives
The chemical engineering degree program prepares students for professional practice in chemically related careers after the bachelor’s degree or an advanced degree. Chemical engineering graduates are expected to attain the following capabilities at or within a few years of graduation: apply the fundamentals of science and engineering to solve important chemical engineering problems in industry, government or academic settings; communicate effectively and demonstrate the interpersonal skills required to lead and/or participate in interdisciplinary projects; apply life-long learning to meet professional and personal goals of their chosen profession, including graduate study; articulate and practice professional, ethical, environmental and societal responsibilities, and value different global and cultural perspectives. To meet the program objective, the faculty has designed a rigorous, demanding, and state-of-the-art curriculum that integrates lectures and laboratory experience in basic science, mathematics, engineering science, engineering design, and the liberal arts.
- Specific Objectives
By the end of the programme students should be able to:
- identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics
- Apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors
- Communicate effectively with a range of audiences
- Rrecognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts
- Function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, crate a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives
- Develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions
- Acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.
Duration of the Programme: 4 years and one Year for advanced Diploma student
