About the course
Recent developments in pharmaceutical, fine chemicals, biotechnology and health care products along with existing areas like petroleum products, bulk chemical, etc. requires thorough knowledge in the area of chemical engineering. Chemical engineers are needed in the areas of process design, equipment design, production, production development, process atomization, Nano Technology and R & D marketing and other related fields. Chemical engineering is involved with conversion of less useful raw materials into more useful products. This involves unit operations and unit processes. The core subjects includes transfer operations, thermodynamics and design, reactions engineering and process control. This discipline finds application in electronic industry for developing microchips, biochips and chemical vapour composition. Skills needed are strong mathematical background coupled with analytical abilities.
