This course introduces students of all engineering disciplines to the
concepts and practices of sustainable development, emphasizing
environmentally responsible engineering design and operation. It aims to
develop awareness, critical understanding, and innovation for applying
green technologies that minimize resource consumption, reduce pollution,
and promote circular economy approaches. The course empowers
engineers to integrate sustainability principles in diverse fields such as
manufacturing, infrastructure, computing, food systems, and
communication technologies.

This is a core subject of Chemical Engineering and the course provides
students with a strong foundation in developing mathematical models
based on physical laws such as mass, energy, and momentum balances. It
enables learners to translate real-life processes into mathematical
representations using differential equations, algebraic equations, and
numerical methods. Through simulation, students can predict system
behaviour under various operating conditions, perform sensitivity analysis,
and evaluate alternative design or control strategies.

Supply Chain Management (SCM) plays a pivotal role in ensuring the
smooth flow of materials, information, and finances across production and
service systems. For engineers, understanding SCM enhances their ability
to optimize production efficiency, cost, and sustainability. This course
introduces students to core principles, tools, and strategies of SCM — from
procurement to distribution — while emphasizing technological
integration, sustainability, and ethical management. It aims to develop
analytical and managerial thinking relevant to modern industrial and
business environments.

Piping and instrumentation are the nervous system of a process plant,
connecting equipment, sensors, and control systems. This course
develops the ability to design, interpret, and analyse piping layouts and
P& ID diagrams used in process industries. It emphasizes standards, safety
codes, instrumentation selection, and drawing conventions, enabling
students to bridge the gap between process design and plant
implementation.

This course builds upon fundamental mass transfer concepts to introduce
advanced and emerging separation techniques used in modern chemical,
biochemical, and environmental industries. It focuses on membrane
processes, adsorption, chromatographic techniques, supercritical fluid
extraction, and bio-separations, enabling students to understand, select,
and design appropriate separation systems. The course also aligns with
sustainable and efficient processing needs in industries such as
pharmaceuticals, food, and wastewater treatment.

Biochemical Engineering integrates chemical engineering principles with
biological systems to design and operate processes for producing
pharmaceuticals, enzymes, biofuels, food ingredients, and other
bioproducts. Modern chemical engineers increasingly work at the interface
of biology and engineering. This course equips students with the capability
to analyze biological reaction systems, design bioreactors, evaluate
fermentation performance, and integrate upstream and downstream
operations in a bioprocess plant. The course bridges fundamental
biochemical concepts with scalable engineering practice, preparing
graduates for careers in bioprocess industries, research, and advanced
studies.

Industrial biotechnology integrates biological science with process
engineering to develop sustainable, efficient, and eco-friendly industrial
products and processes. This course provides chemical engineering
students with the knowledge of bioprocess principles, microbial
technology, enzyme applications, and bioreactor design — enabling them
to apply engineering analysis to biological production systems.
It aims to cultivate interdisciplinary understanding, linking biochemistry,
microbiology, and transport phenomena for industrial production of
pharmaceuticals, biofuels, and fine chemicals, while emphasizing
sustainability and green technology.
