Vision
The Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering program should be a local and regional leader in preparing highly qualified chemical engineers, capable of contributing effectively to industrial and research development and achieving sustainable development.
Mission
The Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering program seeks to produce outstanding chemical engineers, conduct research, and provide community service in an inspiring, energetic, and disciplined environment, with the aim of enhancing self-resources, adopting modern technologies, and contributing to the sustainable development of Saudi society.
Overview
Chemical engineering is one of the vital engineering disciplines that combine natural sciences such as mathematics, chemistry, physics, biochemistry and economics, with the aim of designing, developing and operating chemical and physical factories and processes that convert raw materials or intermediates into products of economic value, with a commitment to protecting the environment and ensuring the safety of workers and equipment. Due to the importance of chemical engineering, the chemical engineer plays a pivotal role in many industrial sectors such as the chemical, energy, oil, cement, biomedical, pharmaceutical, and electronics industries, as well as environmental engineering. Chemical engineers contribute to the creation of new materials with unique electrical, optical or mechanical properties, design processes for the production of drugs and enzymes using microorganisms, develop environmental solutions such as manufacturing catalysts that reduce harmful emissions, and establish effluent treatment facilities to protect the environment. Success in chemical engineering requires a solid understanding of engineering principles and basic science associated with industrial processes, which is clearly reflected in the department's academic curriculum. It includes advanced courses in applied mathematics, conservation of matter and energy, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, material and heat transfer, separation processes, chemical reactor engineering and design, and industrial process design, based on a strong foundation in mathematics, chemistry, and physics. The Department of Chemical Engineering seeks to prepare distinguished cadres capable of meeting the challenges of industry and scientific research and contributing effectively to achieving sustainable development.
