Department of Chemical Engineering at BUITEMS

Department of Chemical Engineering


Establishment of Chemical Engineering Department at BUITEMS was an urgent need of
Balochistan province, which needs industrialization at an accelerated pace. This is based on
the fact that this province is full of minerals, oil and gas resources.
One of the main attractions of Balochistan is its unexploited geological potentials. It occupies a
strategic location in relation to central Asia and sits on geological belts with known world-class
mineral deposits. Balochistan produces 40.2 % of the primary energy of Pakistan in the form of
natural gas, coal and electricity, of the total mineral fuel reserves of the country, Balochistan
contains more than 33 % of the natural gas, about 9% of the coal and about 2% of the probable
oil reserves.
A little has been done uptil now for the exploitation of these rich resources. This needs chemical
/metallurgical industries for the processing of valuable minerals and for the manufacture of
petrochemical products from the available oil and gas deposits in this province.

SCOPE

o There are a lot of opportunities for Chemical engineers in Pakistan
and abroad, as they deal with applying scientific and mathematical
principles, synthesizing new materials, transforming combinations of
elements of matter and developing the processes to do it all safely,
efficiently and on a large scale.
o Chemical engineers turn raw materials into valuable products. They
will often specialize in a particular area once they become established,
including biochemistry, the environment or petrochemical refining.
o Chemical engineering largely involves the design and maintenance of
chemical processes for large-scale manufacture.

VISION

o To be the leading Chemical Engineering department in Pakistan with
innovative and improved programs.
o To be the prolific department in providing the highly trained graduates
needed in the chemical and petrochemical production facilities
located in Pakistan and the Gulf Coast area.
o To achieve national and international recognition through the
educational and research achievements and the professional
service of our faculty, staff and students.

MISSION

The Department of Chemical Engineering is committed to establish conductive
environment for top class professional education and research in the field of
Chemical Engineering. The Department is committed to produce quality Chemical
engineers with expertise in operation and design of Chemical processes and their
modifications.
The Department of Chemical Engineering is also devoted to solve the industry's
technical and managerial issues targeting not only the current needs of industry but
also acting as a key source of ideas and expertise for the long term competitiveness
of the entire Chemical industry of Pakistan. This will also be source centre for
technical human resources, executives and consultants.

OBJECTIVES

o To produce professional Chemical Engineers (men and women) of
high calibre and expertise to meet the demand of Chemical /
Petrochemical industry of Pakistan.
o After graduation, Chemical Engineers of this University will serve in
Oil & Gas industry, SANDAK Project. Sui (PPL), Pirkoh, Loti, Uch,
Zin, Jandran of OGDCL & BG, BOSICOR refinery, HUBCO Pvt. Ltd.,
provides another prospect of utilizing their skills as a Chemical
Engineer.

o To enable the youngsters of Pakistan in general and youngster of
Balochistan in particular to acquire expertise in the different areas/fields
of Chemical Engineering.
o To develop trained human resources for Chemical process industry of
Pakistan.
o To analyze industrial Chemical Engineering Problems and synthesize
solutions to those problems, compare favourably in their knowledge of
chemical engineering.
o To use their training as a springboard to further professional and
career development.
