The Department offers a 4 year Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering degree program for prospective undergraduate students. This curriculum is offered for students seeking a broad and deep knowledge of the theory, design and applications of Chemical Engineering and other interdisciplinary fields. In parallel to the theory courses, students attend laboratory sessional classes, industrial visits, workshops, seminars and various training programs. The department has about 60 undergraduate students a year who earn a Bachelor of Science degree and begin to work in the chemical,\u00a0 petrochemical, energy and other sectors or move on to graduate or professional schools. Before graduating, students have the opportunity to become involved in a number of professional and recreational activities.[\/vc_column_text][vc_toggle title=&#8221;Admissions&#8221; open=&#8221;true&#8221; custom_font_container=&#8221;tag:h3|text_align:left&#8221; custom_use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221; use_custom_heading=&#8221;true&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Prerequisite<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Enrollment in the B.Sc. in Chemical Engineering degree program requires students to have completed 12 years of studies in Higher Secondary School Certificate (H.S.C.) program or GCE A Level program.

Prior to this, students must collect their Account ID and Password from their respective halls. The students must meet their advisor before the registration to talk about the registration and the courses to be taken. The wed address for online registration is http:\/\/biis.buet.ac.bd. Offered courses for each term will be available in the webpage, along with the class routine, academic calendar and exam schedule. Students must check if their class routine and exam schedule overlap or not. Once the registration has been done, students must recheck if the status of their registration process is complete. Add\/drop of courses must be performed within the specified time limit, along with the course teacher\u2019s consent and the adviser\u2019s permission. Students must recheck if the process is complete or not.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Courses Offered From the Department<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The courses offered in this department are designed within the modern concepts of chemical engineering education with due emphasis on the industrial requirements in the country. In the curriculum for the undergraduate programme, besides the professional courses pertaining to Chemical Engineering, there is a strong emphasis on acquiring a thorough knowledge in the basic sciences of Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry. Due importance is also given for the study of several subjects in Humanities and Social Sciences which, it is expected will help the student to interact more positively with the society in which he lives. Thus the course contents of the undergraduate programs provide a harmonious blend of basic sciences and their engineering applications as well as their social relevance.<\/p>\n<p>The first two years are spent on basic work in mathematics and physics, and an introduction to the fundamental areas of Engineering. The last two years completes the development of knowledge in most of the major branches of Chemical Engineering and related topics. The third and subsequent terms build directly on the knowledge of the basic subjects gained in the first two terms and go on to develop competence in specific disciplines. In the final year, the students get the opportunity to choose some optional specialized courses and carryout a comprehensive design and thesis work. The Design and Thesis work provides an opportunity to develop initiative, self-reliance, creative ability and engineering judgment.<\/p>\n<p>Chemical engineering Undergraduate students can choose one of the five specialisation groups:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Chemical Technology<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Chemical Engineering Science<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Biochemical Engineering<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Environmental Science<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Petroleum Engineering<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The core undergraduate and postgraduate programs are regularly being updated to meet national and international requirements.
