Chemical Engineering

At Quchan University of Technology, Chemical Engineering is offered at both the Bachelor's and Master's levels. At the Master's level, Process design, Separation Processes, and Nanotechnology are available.

The history of Chemical Engineering Department:

Department of Chemical Engineering was established in January 2008 and started its activities with admission of B.Sc. students. Later on, in 2015 the first group of M.Sc.

The mission of the Chemical Engineering Department in Quchan University of Technology is to train human resources who can extend knowledge and its application beyond the boundaries of its campus. It aims to stimulate the society by developing students’ intellectual, cultural, scientific, professional and technological expertise.

The academic staff of the Chemical Engineering Department consists of 14 members, including 7 associate professors and7 assistant professors.

Chemical Engineering (Bachelor's)

Overview:

The Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering is designed to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of the principles and practices of chemical engineering. Chemical engineering concerns the design, simulation, scale-up, and finally, operation of chemical processes (i.e., oil and gas, separation, catalytic, bio-technology, nanotechnology), and also consideration and proposal of new technology-valuable materials. The Chemical engineering Faculty provides the best to prepare and educate each student to be a leader and problem-solver for industry, academia, or the public sector.

The curriculum includes core mechanics, thermodynamics, fluid dynamics, materials science, and dynamics courses. Students learn to apply mathematical and scientific principles to design and analyze chemical systems. Advanced topics such as chemical process design, control systems, and energy systems, chemical and petrochemical plants and nanotechnology, are also covered, allowing students to specialize according to their interests.

Career Opportunities:

Chemical Engineers can use their knowledge and expertise in a widespread range of industrial plants. Wherever a chemical process is taking place on a large scale, a chemical engineer needs to be present to oversee the process. Design and development of such processes and plants are also parts of their duty. With the technologies emerging every day, Chemical Engineers are needed more and more in multidisciplinary fields like Biomedical Engineering and Nanotechnology.

Graduates of the Chemical Engineering program are well-prepared for a variety of career paths, including positions as design engineers, project managers, and research scientists. They possess the skills needed to drive technological advancements and improve systems across multiple sectors. Including positions as design engineers, project managers, and research scientists. They have the skills necessary to drive technological advancements and enhance systems across multiple sectors.
