COURSE DESCRIPTION


M.E. Chemical Engineering or Master of Engineering in Chemical Engineering is a postgraduate Chemical Engineering course. It deals with the field of science or technology and covers one of the main subjects Chemical Engineering. Chemical engineering is the branch of engineering that deals with the application of physical science (e.g., chemistry and physics), and life sciences (e.g., biology, microbiology and biochemistry) with mathematics and economics, to the process of converting raw materials or chemicals into more useful or valuable forms. The duration of Master of Engineering in Chemical Engineering is generally a two year but it may vary from institute to institute and also may be on part time basis by certain institutes. The syllabus for the course is divided into four semesters plus elective subjects. The course is very valuable and important one which offers a lot job scopes for the candidates after its completion. This M.E. (Chemical Engineering) course is mostly done by the students those who have expected of becoming lecturer/professor both at colleges and university level.


M.E. Chemical Engineering Eligibility

  • The candidates should complete their B.Tech. or B.E. in Biomedical, Chemical, Computer Science, Electrical, Electronics, Instrumentation, Mechanical Engineering, Metallurgy and Materials Science, Telecommunications Engineering and Engineering Physics degree under any registered University.
  • The marks of admission for this course may vary from University to University.
  • In various colleges and Universities there is an entrance exam for the admission of the courses.

M.E. Chemical Engineering Course Suitability

  • They should possess strong technical ability and high motivation, excellent analytical, communication and teamwork skills, hardworking, good at organizing and solving problems are the most suitable for it.
  • Students those who are interested or desirous in Chemical Engineering and willing to go for teaching fields at higher degree level i.e. college and university level both in private and government institutions are most suitable for this course.
  • Those who like working with tools, drawing sketches of complex things and operations, and conceptualizing forms and structures and have good computer skills.

How is M.E. Chemical Engineering Course Beneficial?

  • They can find service industries such as scientific research and development services, particularly in energy and the developing fields of biotechnology and nanotechnology.
  • Chemical engineers are employed to solve environmental problems such as waste and water treatment, environmental regulations and recycling; on energy sector such as energy conservation and research on alternate energy sources and health-related research projects, defence establishments and atomic power plants.
  • It gives good basis for higher degree programmes in respective subjects, e.g. M.Phil. & Ph.D.
