Chairman Message
I would like to take this opportunity to welcome you to the University of Hail and the Department of Chemical Engineering in the College of Engineering. I am delighted that you have chosen to enroll in our Chemical Engineering program and work towards being awarded the Bachelor of Science degree in Chemical Engineering.
The Department of Chemical Engineering was established in 2009, and its first cohort of students was graduated in May 2012 (Academic Year 2012/2013). Over the last years, and with the excellent and rigorous academic preparation provided by our program, the department has produced many outstanding graduates who have gone on to successful and exemplary careers in industry, academia and government.
Chemical engineering is the branch of engineering that applies the core scientific disciplines (chemistry, physics, biology, mathematics, computer basics, applied engineering and economic sciences) to transform raw materials or chemicals into more useful or valuable forms, invariably in processes that involve chemical change. In research and development, chemical engineers not only create new, more effective ways to manufacture chemicals, but also work collaboratively with chemists to pioneer the development of new high tech materials for specialized applications. The development, commercialization, and optimization of the industrial-scale processes for manufacturing chemicals and advanced materials are feats of chemical engineering. Indeed, virtually every aspect of a modern industrial economy is critically dependent upon chemical engineering for manufacturing the vast array of bulk and specialty chemicals and high-tech materials needed to create a limitless array of value-added products.
The Department of Chemical Engineering faculty are committed to continuous improvements of our program. We encourage your questions and comments on the various aspects of our program and are particularly interested in your comments regarding the program's educational objectives, outcomes and curriculum.
Our undergraduate program. i.e., Bachelor of Sciences in Chemical Engineering is accredited by Engineering Accreditation Commission (EAC) of ABET.
I invite you to explore our homepage and contact me if you have any questions.
