ABOUT THE DEPARTMENT

The Department of Chemistry is a supporting department to other branches in the college. With one Ph.D. and four M.Phil. degree holders, the department teaches various subjects related to chemistry for all engineering disciplines. The staff members have published several quality research papers in national and international journals. They have also participated in national and international conferences, faculty development programs, seminars, and workshops to enhance their academic activities.

PROGRAMME OFFERED

  • B.Tech Chemical Engineering

VISION

reasoning abilities, and technical dexterity. The institution is committed to uphold standards of academic distinction.

PEO 

PROGRAMME EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES (PEO)

To make the students ready for a successful career leading to higher education and/or in industry‑related domains
of design, research and development, testing, and manufacturing.

To solve diverse real‑life engineering problems equipped with a solid foundation in mathematical, scientific,
and chemical engineering principles.

PROGRAM OUTCOMES (PO)

PO1 – Engineering knowledge: Apply the knowledge of mathematics, science, engineering fundamentals, and an engineering specialization to the solution of complex engineering problems.

PO2 – Problem analysis: Identify, formulate, review research literature, and analyze complex engineering problems reaching substantiated conclusions using first principles of mathematics, natural sciences, and engineering sciences.

PO3 – Design / development of solutions: Design solutions for complex engineering problems and design system components or processes that meet the specified needs with appropriate consideration for public health and safety, cultural, societal, and environmental factors.

PO4 – Conduct investigations of complex problems: Use research-based knowledge and research methods including design of experiments, analysis and interpretation of data, and synthesis of the information to provide valid conclusions.

PO5 – Modern tool usage: Create, select, and apply appropriate techniques, resources, and modern engineering and IT tools including prediction and modeling to complex engineering activities with an understanding of their limitations.

PO6 – The Engineer and society: Apply reasoning informed by contextual knowledge to assess societal, health, safety, legal, and cultural issues and the consequent responsibilities relevant to professional engineering practice.

PO7 – Environment and sustainability: Understand the impact of professional engineering solutions in societal and environmental contexts and demonstrate knowledge of, and the need for, sustainable development.

PO8 – Ethics: Apply ethical principles and commit to professional ethics, responsibilities, and norms of engineering practice.

PO9 – Individual and team work: Function effectively as an individual, and as a member or leader in diverse teams and in multidisciplinary settings.

PO10 – Communication: Communicate effectively on complex engineering activities with the engineering community and with society at large, such as being able to comprehend and write effective reports and design documentation, make effective presentations, and give and receive clear instructions.

PO11 – Project management and finance: Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of engineering and management principles and apply these to one’s own work—as a member and leader in a team—to manage projects and operate in multidisciplinary environments.

PO12 – Life-long learning: Recognize the need for, and have the preparation and ability to engage in, independent and life-long learning in the broadest context of technological change.

PROGRAMME SPECIFIC OUTCOMES (PSO)

By the completion of the Chemical Engineering Programme, the student will have the following program‑specific outcomes:

• Graduates will have a strong foundation in engineering, science, and current Chemical Engineering practices and will have experience in solving structured and unstructured problems using conventional and innovative solutions.

• Graduates will be able to effectively describe the Chemical Engineering problem, analyze the data, develop potential solutions, evaluate these solutions, and present the results using their oral, written, and electronic media skills.

• Graduates will have an understanding of the ethical and professional responsibilities of an engineer and the impact of engineering solutions on society and the global environment.
