Scope and Importance                                      Branch -

Background

Chemical engineering brings together the disciplines of chemistry and engineering. At higher level, this branch is truly inter-disciplinary. The importance of chemical engineering processes like vapor deposition in the manufacturing of IC chips is a testimony to the above fact. Like in the control system, the complex process dynamics model is obtained by a Chemical/process Engineer. The physical laws and chemical reaction kinetics are applied for manufacturing in a variety of products ranging from petrochemicals, fertilizers, pharmaceutical, leather goods, pulp & paper, pesticides, acids, alkalis, plastics, synthetic fibers and so on.

Scope and Importance

The scope for Chemical Engineering is tremendous in western countries, particularly in the US. Germany and UK also offer excellent opportunities for Chemical Engineering Professionals, both in academics and career opportunities. The thrust areas in chemical engineering are research and development of new materials, process dynamics, Bio Chemical Engineering and BioTechnology.

In India, for Chemical Engineering professionals, Maharastra and Gujarat offer excellent career prospects in the West, and Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh in the South. IITs' IISc, Regional Engineering Colleges, Anna University, Annamalai University are the leading institutions where students of Chemical Engineering can pursue Post Graduate Studies and research in Chemical Engineering.

Future Prospects.

In India, chemical engineering is likely to assume significant importance in the near future, especially in the field of biotechnology and related areas.
