HOD MESSAGE
It is my pleasure and honour to welcome you to the Department of Chemical Engineering of Vel Tech High Tech Dr. Rangarajan Dr.Sakunthala Engineering College which is one among Top 10 Engineering Colleges in Tamil Nādu. The department was started in the year 2002 with the aim of nurturing Chemical Engineers with sound technical background with a passion for sustainable development. It has well established state of the art laboratories to imbibe and it is well supported by faculty with diverse specialization like Bio fuels and Biotechnology, Environmental Engineering and Thermodynamics, Petroleum Processing and Petrochemical, Material science and Technology. Our faculty is recognized for their research and educational impact through their experiential skills. They are members of a variety of professional organizations. Our department is exponentially growing by leaps and bounds and our impact in chemical engineering education and research is poised for continual growth in the years ahead.
We have well established state of the art laboratories to imbibe and it is well supported by faculty with diverse specialization like Bio fuels and Biotechnology, Environmental Engineering and Thermodynamics, Petroleum Processing and Petrochemical, Material science and Technology. To support the research activities, DST- SERB have sanctioned Rs.25 lakhs in 2018 under the young scientist scheme. The department has received grant of Rs.11, 10,000/- for of ASPEN PLUS and ASPEN HYSYS Simulation Software under AICTE-MODROBS Scheme.
Our department provides several skill developments training to students through “Activity beyond classroom” like value added courses, Placement training, Research oriented sessions etc. Students are encouraged to take up research projects as Mini-project work from their 2nd year through which they have published many research and review articles. They are also motivated to take up internships in various chemical and its allied industries during their vacation.
The department also organizes various Interactive lectures, FDP, Seminar, Alumni interaction, workshop by inviting Educationist and Technocrats from Core industries and Allied industries. We also organize several industrial visits in reputed chemical firms for our Students every semester to link classroom teaching with working chemical plant. Department fosters our students participation & guide them excelling in various events organized at IITs and other reputed institutions.
A strong positive reputation of the department pulls many more for campus recruitment together emphasis gatequalifying students. If you have further questions after vising our website which provides details of faculty members, research activities, research facilities and various student activities, please feel free to contact us on email address provided on faculty pages.
