Department of Chemical Engineering

Overview:

DEPARTMENT OF CHEMICAL ENGINEERING

Chemical Engineering Department at the SDMCET, Dharwad was established in the year 1995. The department is affiliated to Visvesvaraya Technological University, Belagavi, and accredited thrice. The sanctioned intake of the department is 30 for the Undergraduate program i.e. B.E. in Chemical Engineering. The department so far has produced 22 batches of graduates who are well placed in the industries and academic institutions across the country and overseas as well. There are 7 experienced faculty members including 4 Ph.D holders guiding to cater to the needs of industry and community at large. The curriculum is updated every year by inviting suggestions from the industry experts, distinguished alumni, and academicians from the premier institutes like IITs, NITs, and other Universities who are members of Board of Studies committee. The department through the cell for Industry-Institute Interface (III) at the college level organizes industrial visits, training in soft skills, guest lectures, alumni talk, seminars, workshops and symposiums etc., so as to bridge the gap between industry and academia.

This has indeed made the department attain the status of being in the limelight and recognition which truly speaks about the governance with always a look ahead. The department is recognized by VTU as research center, and it has received a funding worth 62 lakhs from VGST, Bangalore in different categories and three students have registered for Ph.D in the research center. Department has produced one PhD from research center and good number of publications in Scopus indexed journals. The students have also received funding from KSCST, Bangalore consistently every year. Students on an average of 75% are well placed in companies like AkzoNobel, Epsilon, JSW paints, MCF Mangalore, Biocon Bangalore, Navy Biologicals Hubli, Nandu Chemical Hubli, Shilpa Medicare Raichur, Zuari Agro Chemicals Goa, Shree cements, JK cements Bagalkot, Akay Industry Hubli, West Coast paper mill Dandeli, Tech Mahindra Bangalore, TCS Bangalore etc. Students on an average of 8-10% have taken up higher studies in reputed institutions across the country and abroad.
