The Department of Chemical Engineering at BITS Pilani K K Birla Goa Campus was established in 2004. In its early days, it was referred to as the Chemical Engineering Group before it attained Department status in 2009. It offers a strong integrated First Degree academic programme (B. E.) and also a dynamic Higher Degree Programme (M. E.) in Chemical Engineering and Environmental Engineering that reflects the evolution of the Department. Over the years, the academic programme has evolved with a strong core curriculum complemented by electives in the important emerging areas of Chemical Engineering.

The continually evolving programmes emphasize on fundamental theory as well as practical applications in Chemical Engineering, keeping in view the continuous changing scenarios in this discipline. Aligning with the three tier structure of the University, the Department also offers a Doctoral programme leading to a PhD degree.

The faculty in the Department are a mix of highly qualified and experienced people from both academic and industrial background and this helps the students to understand and appreciate knowledge in this discipline and its relevance to Industry. The Department currently has 26 faculty members comprising of :

  • Emeritus Professor: 01
  • Senior Professor: 01
  • Professor: 04
  • Associate Professors: 07
  • Assistant Professors: 13

 

The Department has initiated a vigorous research program in several thrust areas through significant funding from Industry and Government funding agencies. Faculty in the Department are engaged in basic research and applied research of interest to industry. The Department till date through constant efforts of its faculty has secured research funding for projects to the tune of over Rs. 15 crores in the last 08 years. Research infrastructure has been created in a few areas with these funded projects and this is a constant ongoing activity. These experimental facilities are well complemented by theoretical modeling and simulation facilities driven by multi-physics / process modelling and simulation software packages.

In a span of 20 years of its existence, the Department of Chemical Engineering has seen remarkable developments in evolving curricula, teaching, laboratory infrastructure and research programmes as well as funded and consultancy projects. It is poised for all round growth in the next few years spurred on through activities driven by its faculty and students.
