ABOUT THE DEPARTMENT
The Department of Chemical Engineering was started in the year 1997. The Department has a sanctioned student intake of 40 for UG, affiliated to Anna University. Chemical Engineering is the branch of engineering that deals with the application of physical science (Physics and Chemistry) with mathematics, to the process of converting raw materials or chemicals into more useful or valuable forms. Majority of the passed out students are well placed in the country and many have completed higher studies in abroad and well placed there. Right from its inception, the Department has been doing its best to bring about excellence in academics. The Department has been aware of the role of chemical engineers in building of the modern India and has been taking appropriate steps to encourage research and developmental activities. The department has highly qualified core faculty of high professional profile to meet the emerging trends and challenges in the field of chemical engineering and allied areas on a global platform. The curricula and syllabi for the undergraduate courses have been periodically updated in line with modern day developments in the chemical engineering arena and taking into account the demands of industry and R&D institutions. The department has fully equipped undergraduate laboratories in the core areas of chemical engineering to impart practical knowledge to the students.
The students of the department are placed in established process and product industries through ON campus and OFF-campus recruitment's. They are also selected for higher studies in the best chemical engineering schools in India and abroad. Constantly our Department is producing University rank holders every year. Till date, 30 rank holders from both Madras and Anna University have excelled from the department, out of it one Gold medal Besides strong academic input, students are strongly supported and guided to do mini-projects and gain hands on experience with the chemical engineering equipment's. Students are highly encouraged to participate in Workshops and technical symposium organized by the affiliated institutions to cater to the needs of the industry. Industrial visits and lectures from academic and industrial experts add a new dimension to the teaching learning process. The Department of Chemical engineering has signed Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with 30 leading industries, which paves a great support for the enhancement of the students’ academic background and career.
