The Department of Pharmacy is offering a new BE in Pharmaceutical Engineering program

BE Pharmaceutical Engineering
The Bachelor of Engineering in Pharmaceutical Engineering is a comprehensive four-year interdisciplinary undergraduate program that integrates core principles of pharmaceutical sciences with the analytical and problem-solving framework of engineering. This programme is designed to meet the evolving demands of the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and healthcare industries. The curriculum combines in-depth knowledge of drug development, pharmaceutical technology, and process systems with essential engineering disciplines. Students enrolled in this program will gain a strong foundation in drug formulation and delivery systems, bioprocess engineering, pharmaceutical manufacturing (GMP), regulatory science, and quality assurance,
while also being exposed to emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, medical instrumentation, computational modelling, and pharmaceutical data analytics. Laboratory courses, industrial training, and project-based learning ensure that students develop practical, hands-on experience with state-of-the-art tools and instruments used in modern pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical industries.
Graduates will be able to:
โœ“ Demonstrate Professional Competence in designing and optimizing pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical processes and products.
โœ“ Integrate Advanced Technologies such as automation, AI, and data science in pharmaceutical manufacturing and process control.
โœ“ Engage in Innovation and Research in advanced therapeutics and processes.
โœ“ Ensure Quality and Regulatory Compliance aligned with global standards, GMP, and regulatory frameworks.

Graduates will be able to:
โœ“ Apply engineering, scientific, and pharmaceutical knowledge to solve complex problems related to products/processes.
โœ“ Use modern tools (simulation, automation, data analytics) effectively.
โœ“ Conduct research and investigations using experimental and analytical methods.
โœ“ Develop and scale-up pharmaceutical products (small molecules and biologics).
โœ“ Implement Industry 4.0 technologies in process and quality systems.
โœ“ Incorporate sustainability and environmental considerations in pharmaceutical processes.
โœ“ Apply project management and financial principles in industrial and research settings.
