Faculty of chemical engineering of Urmia University of technology

The faculty of chemical engineering of Urmia University of Technology was established in 2006, at the same time as the establishment of the university, and has been accepting students since 2007. Chemical engineering is a branch of engineering that designs and develops the processes based on chemical, physical and biological changes. The common and different aspects of chemical engineering compared with other engineering arise from the versatility and interdisciplinary nature of this profession. A chemical engineer uses principles of mathematics, physics and chemistry to design and operate chemical plants. Presently, this faculty as a part of the Department of Renewable Energies, includes 14 academic staff and more than 400 under graduate and M.S. students, in the fields of Separation Processes, Process Design and Polymer Engineering.

Undergraduate Programs

To be qualified for the B.S. degree in the Chemical Engineering, passing a minimum of 140 semester units including preparation of a chemical or petroleum engineering project and undertaking a period of industrial training are required. The B.S. program usually takes 4 years to be completed. The general and basic courses offered at undergraduate level are as follows:

• General Courses, including Humanities, Physical Education and Foreign Language (20 units)

• Basic Courses, including Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry (46 units)

• Specialty Courses, including Basic and Special courses in Chemical Engineering and Related Laboratories (55 units)

• Elective Courses (19 units)

M.S. Programs

In accordance with the requirements of the Graduate program, in order to complete the M.S. program, each M.S. candidate must complete a minimum of 32 semester units, including Advanced courses in chemical engineering (12 units), Special courses (12 units) and a research project (6 units) as the M.S. thesis.
