Chemical Engineering
|
| Established in 1984, Department of Chemical Engineering is one of the oldest departments in Pune region, known for its very valuable contribution in providing high caliber, outstanding professionals to the industry and R&D establishments. The faculty has constantly endeavored to improve the academic standards and searched for better tools to impart the knowledge of Chemical Engineering to the students. The computer education and industrial training form an integral part of our studies. Our laboratories are not only well equipped for practical training of the students but also for research and development work. Our's is only Department in the Pune region that offers Post-Graduate as well as PhD Programmes in Chemical Engineering.
The Department has consistently won accolades in the extra curricular activities such as games, cultural programs and technical paper presentations at state and national levels. The department also provides a forum (CHESA) for students to interact with the industry by organizing seminars and presentations by eminent persons from the industry.
