Department of Chemical Engineering

Chemical Engineering is to develop students’ intellect and to equip them with enduring knowledge in chemical engineering and related fields.

PROGRAMME EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES (PEOs)

1. Provision of quality undergraduate education programme for students admitted into the chemical engineering programme.
2.Advancement of scientific knowledge through basic and applied research methods in the academia, production/manufacturing industries, energy sectors and other engineering relating multinationals.
3.Development of problem-solving approaches using analytical abilities, design and fabrication skills, proper understanding of manufacturing/production processes, either as individual or in a team.
4.To understand the different use, operations, maintenance and design of engineering materials

PROGRAMME OUTCOMES (POs)

The Programme Outcomes (POs) are set goals to be achieved by the students upon graduation from Niger Delta University Chemical Engineering Programme.

1. The proficiency in the application of basic science and engineering knowledge and/or principles to solving real-time engineering problems.
2. Knowledge development of understanding and analyzing complex engineering problem.
3. The capacity to design engineering systems (e.g., reactors) to solving environmental issues such as waste management, water and wastewater treatment etc.
4. Carry out research-based investigation in solving complex engineering problems by means research tools such as experimentation/practical based investigations, analytical/numerical methods, simulation/software based research and the use of ASPEN HYSIS, ASPEN Plus.
5. The capability of using modernized technology such as ICT based tools, modelling approaches, optimization methods and other new innovations.
6. The creation of awareness of an engineer and its society. The chemical engineering graduates’ exhibits understanding of societal and environmental issues (health, legal, safety, cultural, etc.) and consequent responsibilities relevant to professional engineering practice.
7. The ability of maintaining sustainability and commitment to professional ethics, economic, environmental, societal, and political norms.
8. The ability to possess individual and team work in either at the industry or at any point of engineering services.
9. The capability of self confidence in effective communication skills, and solving engineering problems.
10. The exhibition of financial consciousness and confidence of carrying out professional activities such as project management and other multi – disciplinary activities in engineering.
11. Recognize the need for continuous learning and self-preparation for professional career activities.
12. Be self-proficient in innovative creation and techno-industrial driven ideas.
