OUR
MISSION
To generate new knowledge by offering integrated post-graduate
program and provide quality manpower with high employment
potential in the present liberalized economic climate in the
era of globalization.
The
SCHOOL OF CHEMICAL TECHNOLOGY of recognizes the importance
of chemical industry and the need for trained manpower , THE
UNIVERSITY has taken the bold and visionary decision to start
the School of Chemical Technology ,the only one of its kind
in this part of the country after IIT,DELHI which began 35
years ago. The founding fathers concerned with education required
in chemical industry showed extraordinary vision 80 years
ago to recognize that education to provide trained manpower
could be provided under two broad areas namely Unit Operations
and Unit Processes. This framework still holds although it
has evolved, expanded and continuously tuned over the last
8 decades to progressively include thermodynamics, reaction
engineering ,process control, process economics , mathematical
and numerical methods, computers ,process engineering, separation
processes, catalysis hazard and safety etc. each one advancing
in its own right with extensive research work both in academics
and in industry .
The
School has been established with the twin objective of generating
effective trained professionals and to keep pace with the
R & D activities of this fast changing field of Chemical Technology.
The B.Tech. /M.Tech. (Integrated) program being offered by
the school is based on the pattern of I.I.T.'s and other national
and international institutions of repute. The well structured
program is meant to impart comprehensive knowledge of various
core chemical engineering subjects, interdisciplinary courses
in Biotechnology, Information Technology, Environment Management,
Management Studies through Electives and industrial exposure
through practical training in laboratories and Industrial
Units.
SCHOOL'S
PHILOSOPHY AND PEDAGOGY
The
school has been established to design and implement courses
with aim of imparting qualitative education. The School also
emphasizes the need to keep up with the latest developments
in the field by constantly upgrading the syllabus. The school
believes in close coordination with the industry on perpetual
basis, which keeps it abreast with the ever changing scenario
of the Chemical industry.
THRUST
AREA
Despite
the breadth and the divergence of the chemical industry the
core discipline of this sector is chemical engineering. The
first and foremost effort of the School Of Chemical Technology
is to put in place a strong program in Chemical Engineering
with a modern syllabus, well equipped laboratories and acquire
useful softwares like ASPEN PLUS and MATLAB and develop meaningful
links with industry . With the above phase in control in the
next 3-5 years we can add on some selected areas of Separation
Technology so that a continual evolutionary process of reaching
out to as wide a sector of Chemical Technology as possible
and relevant is achieved.
The
fact that Schools of Biotechnology, Information Technology,
Environmental Management and Management Studies are growing
from the same stage as the School of Chemical Technology to
which all the others are very relevant is an added advantage
. A strong School of Basic and Applied Sciences with significant
strengths in chemistry is of course an essential component.
Chemistry is likely to be more important component of program
in Chemical Engineering and Chemical Technology in this century
than it did in the century that has just gone by. With the
availability of so much diverse resources on the campus interdisciplinary
thrust areas will emerge in due course of time.
Infrastructure
The
School has access to the following facilities:
- Provides
opportunities to students to work on various projects both
in University and Industry.
- Research
facilities are being developed to meet the future needs.
- Provides
well equipped library with Books, National/International
Journals/Periodicals. Book Bank facility is also available
to students.
- Softwares
being used globally like ASPEN PLUS and MATLAB are available.
- Well
equipped Computer Centre with latest IBM & ACER Pentium
Servers & PCs, Scanners, Printers, and CD-Writers etc.
- 1
Mbps Internet Leased Line in the entire campus.
- LAN
