 PREFACE
The curriculum, with varying definitions, is said to be a plan of the teaching-
learning process that students of an academic programme are required to
undergo. It includes objectives & learning outcomes, course contents, scheme
of studies, teaching methodologies and methods of assessment of learning.
Since knowledge in all disciplines and fields is expanding at a fast pace and
new disciplines are also emerging; it is imperative that curricula be developed
and revised accordingly.

University Grants Commission (UGC) was designated as the competent

authority to develop, review and revise curricula beyond Class-XII vide Section
3, Sub-Section 2 (ii), Act of Parliament No. X of 1976 titled “Supervision of
Curricula and Textbooks and Maintenance of Standard of Education”. With the
repeal of UGC Act, the same function was assigned to the Higher Education
Commission (HEC) under its Ordinance of 2002, Section 10, Sub-Section 1
(v).

In compliance with the above provisions, the Curriculum Division of HEC

undertakes the revision of curricula after every three years through respective
National Curriculum Revision Committees (NCRCs) which consist of eminent
professors and researchers of relevant fields from public and private sector
universities, R&D organizations, councils, industry and civil society by seeking
nominations from their organizations.

In order to impart quality education which is at par with international standards,

HEC NCRCs have developed unified templates as guidelines for the
development and revision of curricula in the disciplines of Basic Sciences,
Applied Sciences, Social Sciences, Agriculture and Engineering in 2007 and
2009.

It is hoped that this curriculum document, prepared by the respective NCRC’s,

would serve the purpose of meeting our national, social and economic needs,
and it would also provide the level of competency specified in Pakistan
Qualification Framework to make it compatible with international educational
standards. The curriculum is also placed on the website of HEC

RATIONALE:
The chemical engineering curriculum is designed so that its graduates are
familiar with the techniques used in analyzing and solving engineering
problems associated with the chemical and related industries (petroleum,
pharmaceutical, metallurgical, plastics, pollution control etc.).

8
Chemical engineering is the application of mathematical and Natural
Sciences by processing the raw material to finished product, economically
without polluting environment for the benefit of mankind. Chemical
engineering also applies the principles and application of other fields to
improve and solve the problems of chemical engineering processes
encountered in industries.

The chemical engineering curriculum is so designed that it not only includes

the core chemical engineering courses but also courses from basic sciences
(mathematics, chemistry, physics), communication skills, Islamiat and
Pakistan studies, so that the graduate will not only have professional skills
but also have a knowledge and understanding of basic principles, ethical
considerations and leadership qualities.

Courses in chemical engineering fundamentals (material and energy

balances) are introduced, followed by intensive work in engineering science
and analysis (heat, mass, and momentum transfer; chemical
thermodynamics; chemical reaction engineering; continuous and stage-wise
separation processes; process dynamics and control). Computer solutions
and simulation topics are stressed. An understanding of the ethical, and social
issues, economic, and safety considerations in engineering practice is
stressed throughout the curriculum. The appreciation of these professional
concepts is incorporated as a part of all engineering course work.

MISSION STATEMENT:

Mission of chemical engineering undergraduate program is to provide

qualified manpower with inter-disciplinary academic foundations needed to
develop chemical products for the society. The program is aligned to integrate
critical thinking, scholarly training, leadership qualities and sustainable vision
in graduates to enable them to cope with the complex problems of the chemical
and allied industries.

OBJECTIVES:
This curriculum is designed to impart knowledge, skills and training in
order to prepare graduates to have:

 Understanding of the needs of the society and demands of the

21stcentury and be able to improve quality of life
 Understanding of the principles of chemical engineering design and
their application for sustainable development
 Ability to understand, analyze, interpret and solve problems of chemical
and allied industries by using modern techniques, engineering tools,
research and innovation
 Understanding of safety principles and practices in process industries
 Understanding of professional and ethical responsibilities
9
 Knowledge of contemporary issues and ability to work in
multidisciplinary teams
 Leadership skills to serve on managerial positions within chemical
and associated industries
 Understanding of life cycle environmental impacts of chemical and
allied industries and their mitigation measures

 RECOMMENDATIONS

1. All Chemical Engineering institutions should review their educational

process and make it more sustainable.

2. The courses should be taught in a way to develop a more application

based and research oriented approach.

3. The student assessment should be based on questions related with

knowledge and understanding of subject including engineering analysis,
investigation, engineering practices and transferable skills.

4. Latest software relating to chemical engineering subjects such as

HYSYS, MATLAB, ANSYS, Auto CAD, Math, CAD, Pro-E should be made
available at Institutions offering programmes in Chemical Engineering.

5. Faculty training in core disciplines should be arranged at Institutions

offering programmes in Chemical Engineering.

6. Laboratory facilities should be strengthened to facilitate the lab work

associated with theory courses.

7. All laboratories should be supervised and managed by qualified Lab

Engineers.

8. Efforts should be made to strengthen academia-industry interaction.

9. Masters in Chemical Engineering by research is strongly recommended to

be incorporated in the postgraduate programme.

10. The Practical/Lab work should comprise at least 20-30% of the total credit
hours.

11. All the Universities/Institutions should make arrangements for practical

training of their students in industrial organizations during summer.

12. To strengthen research capacity of HEIs, the honorarium for the

postgraduate students, in engineering disciplines, is recommended to be
equivalent to BPS- 17 salary.
