About the Department
(A) Brief Overview of the
Department
The Department of Chemical Engineering at Al-Nahrain University was established
in 1989 as one of the departments within the College of Engineering. The
program requires:
· Four
years of study to earn a Bachelor’s degree.
· Two
years to earn a Master’s degree.
· Three
years to earn a Doctorate in Chemical Engineering.
Since its establishment, the
department has graduated approximately 260 chemical engineers, including
more than 145 Master’s degree holders and 18 Doctorate holders in
Chemical Engineering. Graduates are employed in various fields, including:
· Academic
positions as university and technical institute lecturers.
· Engineering
roles in refineries and various government sectors.
· Positions
in research centers, companies, and scientific offices.
They play a vital role in building
both individuals and society.
(B) Vision
The global economy and rapid changes in
technology requires an increasing number of Chemical engineers. Today's
Chemical engineers are confronted with broader job responsibilities, often
involving modern technological aspects that must be integrated with the
traditional disciplines. The high demand for Chemical engineers impose the need
for Ch.E. programs in which qualifications are valuable for career advancement.
The competitive nature of Chemical, petroleum and petrochemical Industries in
Iraq and the region requires Chemical engineers that acquire good knowledge and
skills in dealing with new technologies. Identifying, evaluating, implementing
and managing the most appropriate resources, technologies and systems demands a
well-developed level of technical and managerial skills and team-work
capabilities. The Chemical engineering program enhance the technical and
managerial knowledge and skills of its graduates to meet today’s demands and
needs as well as those of the future. The program emphasizes academic and
research excellence along with professional development of students in
particular areas of interest in Chemical engineering. The program offers a wide
selection of courses and research activities related to Chemical engineering
which satisfies the local as well as the global needs of the Chemical Industry.
(C) Mission
The Department of Ch.E., aspires to be a center
of excellence in educating professionals in Chemical engineering in Iraq. The
philosophy of the Department is to follow a model of education that promotes
both professional and educational aspects of a discipline that supports
academic creativity, cultural development, and operates within an environment
that encourages technology transfer. The Department offers a comprehensive
program at undergraduate and postgraduate levels that can play a pivotal role
in the development of the engineering areas in Iraq, and provide a forum for
research into topical areas and contribute to policy debates. The Department of
Chemical Engineering endeavors to be one of the leading Chemical engineering
programs in Iraq and the region.
