history

School of Chemical Engineering

    Established nearly eight decades ago, the School of Chemical Engineering targets academic objectives in general and applied research to serve the local process industry

    in particular. It serves as a reliable center for research and education. The School admits about 60 undergraduate and 90 postgraduate students each year including approximately 87 Ph.D. students. 27 faculty members are teaching approximately 212 B.Sc., 250 M.Sc., and 87 Ph.D. students at the moment. Due to the quality of the services the school’s graduates are often employed by the local industry during their education or soon after. Many of our graduates have managed significant achievements at the national and international level.

    The department is also equipped with four laboratories used as training centers for the school B.Sc. students. The educational and research activities of the school within the past four years can be summarized as follows.

  - Winning over 60 research contracts form the local industry.

  - Publication of over 250 journal papers in highly accredited science and engineering journals at national and international levels.

  - Presentation of over 600 papers in national and international scientific conferences.

  - Publication of 4 titles of books in the field of chemical engineering.

  - Winner of two best national researcher awards by faculty members:

  - Winner of a third place of Khwarizmi Festival Award by a faculty member

  - Registration of over 30 patents at national and international levels.
The school is organized in three departments of Petroleum Processing, Mineral Processing and Petrochemical Processing.
