UNDERGRADUATE DEGREE PROGRAM

Graduate Program Outcomes (POs) Profile

1. Engineering Knowledge: Apply knowledge of mathematics, science, engineering fundamentals and an engineering specialization to solve complex engineering problems.
2. Problem Analysis: Identify, formulate, research literature and analyze complex engineering problems reaching substantiated conclusions using first principles of mathematics, natural sciences and engineering sciences.
3. Design/ development of solutions: Design solutions for complex engineering problems and design systems, components or processes that meet specified needs with appropriate consideration for public health and safety, cultural, societal, and environmental considerations.
4. Investigation: Conduct investigations of complex problems using research-based knowledge and research methods including design of experiments, analysis and interpretation of data, and synthesis of information to provide valid conclusions.
5. 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 the limitations.
6. 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.
7. Environment and Sustainability: Understand the impact of professional engineering solutions in societal and environmental contexts and demonstrate knowledge of and need for sustainable development.

9. Individual and Teamwork: Function effectively as an individual, and as a member or leader in diverse teams and in multi-disciplinary settings.
10. 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.
11. 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 in multidisciplinary environments.
12. Lifelong learning: Recognize the need for and have the preparation and ability to engage in independent and lifelong learning in the broad context of technological change.

Graduate Program Outcomes (POs) Profile

1. To produce graduates who pursue challenging careers, with skills to analyze and provide solutions in energy, environmental, food and bio, polymer and other related industries and emerging areas with an appreciation of the role of Chemical Engineering in the society.
2. To produce graduates who pursue advanced studies in Chemical Engineering and related disciplines
3. To create engineering leaders with a global focus, displaying entrepreneurship skills.

Students are selected to follow the B.Sc. in Chemical and Process Engineering (CPE) course based on their performance in semester I examination and their individual preferences. Until 2009, student intake was restricted to 50, which has been increased to 80 in 2010. This was further expanded to 90 in 2013. Currently, the DCPE offers five focus areas after completion of their sixth semester, namely;

• Environmental Engineering
• Food and Bioengineering
• Polymer Engineering
• Petroleum Engineering
• Energy Engineering

The Department degree program is regularly being revised and renovated under a collaborative effort by the academic and industrial personnel with the objective of creating highly skilled graduates who meet the needs and demands in both the industry and the academia. Students have the liberty of approaching the department professionals at any time to acquire necessary knowledge and skills during their stay in the department.
