About the Department & Course

Chemistry is one of the fundamental sciences which apart from its applications in its field, applies to other fields. The Engineering and Technology departments such as Chemical, Polymer Technology, Bio-Technology, Civil, Mechanical, Electrical, Electronics, Environmental, Computer Science and all other engineering fields need the knowledge of Chemistry to deal with the problems in their fields. Engineering Chemistry also imparts knowledge of the properties of materials, protecting them from corrosion and selecting the right types of materials used in various fields of Engineering and Industry.The Department has a research centre and faculties are involved in research activities in the fields of Nanomaterials synthesis, Electrochemical and Biosensors, EMI Shielding, Nanocomposite, and Biomaterials. The Engineering Chemistry laboratory has the latest and most advanced sophisticated instruments for the syllabus.
