Institute of Chemical & Environmental Engineering

Introduction

The Department of Chemical Engineering is the youngest, dynamic, and most energetic department at the KFUEIT established in spring 2018. The first batch of 50 students of BS Chemical Engineering was enrolled in October 2018 after obtaining approval from the Pakistan Engineering Council (PEC).

In contrast to several other engineering universities of the country, the department of Chemical Engineering at the KFUEIT follows Outcome Based Education (OBE) system as per the Washington Accord (WA). This fact alone ensures that our graduates will be recognized in several countries including USA, Canada, England, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, Singapore, China, Turkey, South Africa and many more.

The department of Chemical Engineering also offers a wonderful opportunity to the students of FSc Pre-Medical back ground by offering them admission to the BS Environmental Science program as compared to other traditional natural sciences programs. The environmental science graduates are in quite high demand in industries, government regulatory bodies, international NGOs, academia, and research regionally, nationally, and internationally.

The department of Chemical Engineering has established several dedicated laboratories for training and research. In line with the Vision and the Mission of KFUEIT in general and the Department of Chemical Engineering in particular, an advanced Water and Energy Systems Engineering Laboratory (WESEL) has also been established at the Department of Chemical Engineering. WESEL does not only promote research culture but also contributes positively in finding solutions for the water related problems of the world in general and this region in particular. WESEL will also support the graduate students for their research theses.

The department of Chemical Engineering at the KFUEIT is the best alternate for the students of Southern Punjab, Balochistan, and rural Sindh who used to travel hundreds of kilometers in order to get higher education in other cities. Moreover, Rahim Yar Khan is located at the junction of Punjab, Sindh, and Balochistan; this region is the industrial hub of different national and multinational industries. The establishment of the department of Chemical Engineering in Rahim Yar Khan does not only cater the needs of this region but also fulfills the demands for skilled graduates for this entire region.
