The Vision:
The  Department of Chemical Engineering is seeking to achieve the scientific privacy of the department  through providing the students with practical experiments and abilities, this vision is so clear by its scientific branches which are : Chemical Process Engineering Branch, Chemical and Petroleum Refining Engineering Branch, Chemical and Environment Engineering Branch. The department is depending on performance and quality to achieve creativity and the development of chemical engineering field.

  The Mission:
to prepare geometrical staff in the chemical engineering field to serve the country and work on making researches and practical studies in this field and solving the industrial problems which occur within it.

  The Goals:
Chemical Engineering program is been carefully to prepared for students for the profession of chemical engineering through study, experience and practice to:

a.    To prepared engineers with basic scientific and chemical knowledge.

b.    To give the graduates the ability to design the factories which are related to the chemical, petroleum, petrochemical and food industry.

c.     To prepare graduates able on operation and management of the chemical factories through concentrating on the theoretical and practical side.

d.    To enrich the learning process with the high studies curriculum and the applied scientific researches, also stressing on its role to serve the society and solving its problems.

  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.
