Chemical Engineering Department

Introduction

The Department of Chemical Engineering holds Level-II accreditation by the Pakistan Engineering Council, in accordance with the standards and pre• requisites set forth bythe Washington Accord. It was established in 2013 to address the pressing issue of a severe shortage of chemical engineers in the country and to provide high-quality education in a research-oriented environment with ample opportunities for personal and professional development.

The department boasts a team of highly qualified and experienced faculty members dedicated to delivering foundational courses within a friendly and congenial environment. Students enrolled in the program benefit from access to state-of-the-art laboratories, providing hands-on experience in applying fundamental principles of chemical engineering. These laboratories are not only equipped for practical education but also actively engage in cutting-edge researchand development within the field of chemical engineering.

The curriculum also addresseschallenges in process improvement, energy efficiency, process simulation, environmental and green engineering, heat and mass transfer, and material engineering domains. By integratingmodern perspectivesand emerging technologies into our curriculum, we aim to produce well-rounded chemical engineers equipped to contribute to sustainable solutions and advancements in the field. The Department of Chemical Engineering provides students with a comprehensive and forward• looking education that prepares them for success in the modern chemical engineering landscape.

Our Alumni have a proved themselves by acquiring professional roles in Pakistan's leading organizations including Engro Corporation, Lucky Group of Companies, Oil and Gas, Sugar, and Cement Industries.
