The Vision:
The Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of Technology seeks to be a distinguished edifice in the field of chemical engineering among prestigious local and international universities

  The Mission:
Preparing specialized cadres in the field of chemical engineering who are scientifically trained, scientifically distinguished, committed to professional ethics, and keep pace with the rapid developments in this field in an academic environment that enhances self-education and encourages the spirit of initiative and innovation with the aim of serving the community.

  The Goals:

• Graduating highly qualified specialized engineers in the fields of chemical engineering who meet the needs of the labor market by training them in modern technologies, theoretical engineering skills, and practical laboratories that simulate industrial reality.

• Supporting scientific research and solid scientific publishing in international journals, promoting the spirit of scientific integrity and accuracy in conducting laboratory experiments and analyses, and participating in consulting contracts to solve industrial problems facing the chemical and petroleum industries.

• Developing and consolidating the department’s postgraduate programs to be an important tributary to the scientific research movement and keeping pace with scientific developments in the world through communication with reputable international universities.
• Seeking to enhance the pioneering role of the department in serving the society.

  The Emergence of the Department:
     The chemical engineering department was established in 1975 to be one of the distinguished departments in the university. It accompanied the development of the university in providing the necessary possibilities to come with the technological and scientific process to graduate specialized geometrical staff.  

     The department is considered the main party in the process of industrial development in which it is interested in physical and chemical technological process used in covering the row materials to other products by mixing the industrial technology and the new scientific concepts, then producing the developed and new transformational processes in the lab to be applied industrially with concentrating on the economical side and the technical standards of the production process are to be take into consideration.   

    The chemical engineering filed includes a wide range of industrial sectors like oil refining and gas industry and various chemical, food, pharmaceutical, biochemical, and construction, in addition to providing clean drinking water and processing industrial waters to control on environmental pollution.

     The main qualifications of the chemical engineer are to be qualified to conduct economic Feasibility for the new production plants in addition to planning, designing, constructing, operating and managing these processes in a way to quality him to be a leader in controlling the process. Also he has to be able to become aware of the scientific and industrial development to construct modern industries or to modernize an old industrial method of production.

     This is achieved by reviewing continuously scientific papers and the various industrial and economical   studies.
