About Department -  Undergraduate Studies Back

   The department has adopted an advanced curriculum for undergraduate studies, then the student will be gifted a BSC. In chemical engineering. The department changes its studying syllabus every five years in which new geometrical and scientific materials are added to come up with the global scientific development.

     The first group of students graduated in the year 1979. They numbered fifty four graduates. As a result of the increasing needs of the country for chemical engineers, the number of graduates increased being highest at the year 1986. After opening “Afternoon Studies”, the number increased further.
