Department of Chemical Engineering

ِAbout

Vision

The vision of the Department of Chemical Engineering is to be nationally recognized for its education, training, skills development, and qualitative research.

Mission

The mission of the department is to strive to provide high-quality education in the field of chemical engineering that prepare graduates for productive careers in engineering and related fields and prepares them to live as educated and effective members and leaders. In addition, to encourage creative activities in the field of research in order to contribute effectively to the development of the local community and the nation 

Objectives

 

1.     Providing the necessary knowledge, standard education and training in the field of chemical engineering that prepares graduates for professional work in various types of administrative and technical professions

2.     To provide students with the ability to apply this knowledge and to think clearly, creatively, and logically and originally  when analyzing, programming, building, and maintaining engineering systems

3.     Preparing graduates for careers in chemical engineering in all its aspects, including petrochemicals, petroleum refining, biochemistry, pharmaceuticals, water treatment and desalination, environmental pollution control, industrial safety, metal processing, advanced materials, and food technology

4.     Providing students with opportunities to develop a sense of responsibility, lifelong learning skills, communication and teamwork skills, as well as a sound understanding of professional ethics and global, economic and environmental issues

5.     To foster an academic environment conducive to high-quality research and development in chemical engineering that meets current and future societal and technological needs

6.     Implementing activities that ensure that future employees and students are able to cope with technological and professional development

 

7.     Effectively contributing to community development and responding to the challenges of sustainable development 

Department head’s speech

Chemical engineering is one of the most important engineering specializations (majors)  on which most industrial processes are based, whether traditional, such as the oil and gas industries, which are of economic and strategic importance, as well as the food and pharmaceutical industries, which are of national importance due to the country’s self-sufficiency and independence from its sovereign decision. Modern industries and the principle of manufacturing industries depend mainly on chemical engineering and the transformation of raw materials. To final products that can be used and traded, but rather work to improve the quality of the products and bring them to the specifications of a high degree of quality that enables them to compete in the markets. One of the most important branches of chemical engineering is working to modernize devices and equipment through design processes (optimal production process) for the production process by reducing side-product materials released into the environment and reducing materials used in industries through the recycling process, which leads to non-depletion of  rawmaterials One of the most important concepts of chemical engineering is the use of alternative energy ))Renewable Energy  such as solar energy, wind energy, etc., as well as working to prolong the life of industrial units by combating the corrosion and deterioration process that affects them. Based on the above, there is no production unit that does not overlap with the chemical engineering specialty
