Chemical Engineering is an integrated engineering discipline that deals with processes,
which change the physical or chemical, biochemical or biological composition,
energy content or physical state of materials. It is concerned with the whole process
from raw material to finished products. It is a smart engineering because it uses simple
and elegant techniques to produce a wide variety of products ranging from perfume to
rocket fuel, and from microchips to the optical fiber for the information superhighway.
The chemical engineer is responsible for the planning, design of product
and their application.

Chemical engineers are instrumental in providing basic needs and health,
convenience and comfort, safety and aesthetics of modern living. They are involved
in diverse industries such as petroleum processing, energy production, pharmaceutical manufacturing, food processing, textiles, plastic and chemical manufacturing,
which are generally very large scale and capital intensive. Chemical engineers are
therefore in the forefront of technological innovations and high-tech operation,
engaged in the conception and development of very interesting projects. They
employ a broad spectrum of knowledge from various disciplines of sciences and
engineering to arrive at a cost-effective, environmentally sound and safe,
simple and beautiful solution to a
complex problem.
 

In short, chemical Engineering is a science and art dealing with the relationships
of Physics and chemical changes. It is one of the youngest branch of engineering.
This profession came into existence toward the end of the ninteenth
century when the need for technical workers with a combined training in Physics,
Chemistry and Mechanical Engineering became apparent. Since that time,
the profession of chemical engineering has increased in status ,
until now stands as an integral and essential part of

The Department of Chemical and Environmental Engineering was established in August
1996. This new department is full of vigor and is eager to share with students the
conventional and frontier breaking ideas of chemical and environmental
engineering, and the challenges and opportunities in a dynamic engineering career.
The experienced and qualified academic staffs are well supported by many
research fellows and technicians in teaching, tutorial and laboratory classes.
The students also receive personal supervision to enhance their learning
and professional development from lecturers who are actively involved i
n industries and government agencies.

The laboratory facilities at the Department of Chemical and Environmental
Engineering are modest but adequate at its inception, and it is in the process
of acquiring more state-of-the-art equipment in the near future. The computer
system at the Faculty of Engineering is amongst the best in the country,
and it is connected to the Internet viaa fiber optic network to the powerful
Sun-Workstation and many PCs. Through the same computer network the
student can accessa wide range of software and
the library,which is very well stocked
with references.
