In the name of Allah: (Say, Work righteousness; GOD will see
your work, and so will His messenger and the believers).
-God Almighty has spoken the truth-
Chemical Engineering Department was established in 1975, as a
scientific department among the engineering departments at the
university of technology to coincide with the year of founding
the university in order to contribute in supplying our country
with the competencies in the field of Chemical Engineering
specialization. Since the first graduated constellation in 1979,
which numbered Fifty-four students, the department was sought
with all its potentials and the efforts of its professors,
instructors and other academic staff in order to bridge the
shortfall in the needs of national industry from the engineering
staff who working in different fields of industry including the
oil industry, petrochemical, construction, food, pharmaceutical.
The department was adopted the scientific applied scheme by
finding the communication channels with the industrial and oil
sectors via signing the contracts with some companies such as
Midland Oil Company, and the companies of Ministry of Industry.
These connections have had a significant impact on the
strengthening the scientific concepts and using them to serve
both segments in industry and petroleum. The department
continued to keep pace with scientific development and openness
towards the edges of science through the introduction of new
disciplines within the undergraduate study, which are
represented in three scientific branches: The chemical
processing engineering branch, the oil and gas
refining engineering branch, and the industrial & oil pollution
engineering branch with the aim of providing a chemical engineer
at the University of Technology a distinct role in the functions
needed by industrial development, which are not available in
other Iraqi universities.
In order to supply the Iraqi universities and industrial
factories together with senior cadres and specialized leaders,
the postgraduate master's study was created in 1979 and later
enlarged to include Master and High Diploma in various
disciplines, in addition to open the doctoral study in 1987.
Both undergraduate and postgraduate studies within the Chemical
Engineering Department were marked in the adoption of the sober
scientific style in the development of five-year study plans and
consistent with the discreet foreign universities along with the
use of foreign expertise in the scrutiny of study plan such as
Nottingham University.
With the purpose of increasing the interlock and scientific
rapprochement with the practical side, the department has
contributed in this area through the improvement of three
research units, namely: the designs and industrial production
unit, the membranes research unit and finally the chemical and
biological waste treatment unit. Currently, the Chemical
Engineering Department seeks to expand the doctoral studies
through the creation of cooperation channels with reputable
foreign universities to take advantage from transference and
localization of technology by means of joint supervision the
doctoral thesis and participation in the preparation of
scientific theory courses. By the grace of God, the president of
the University of Technology Prof. Dr. Amin Daway Thamir was
recently signed a twining memorandum with the University of
Missouri-American for Science and Technology to facilitate make
the collaboration in the progress of PhD study at the
university, particularly in the chemical engineering department.
Finally, we ask God to reconcile and success of our department
and bless the efforts of all good people to serve our dear
country ... It is God's reconciled. |
