Chemical Engineering Undergraduate Program
Department of Chemical Engineering
Dr. Abdallah Sofiane Berrouk
Freshman Seminar Series 09 November 2013
An engineering discipline that combines chemistry, physics and mathematics to transform raw materials or energy into forms useful for mankind , economically and without compromising environment, safety, or finite resources. The transformation can be chemical , biological or physical depending on the process.
Air Oil and Natural Gas Coal Minerals Energy Chemistry Mathematics Economics Physics Biology Convert raw materials to useful products and improve the human environment
Like all engineers, chemical engineers use math, physics, and economics to solve technical problems.
The difference between chemical engineers and other types of engineers is that they apply a knowledge of chemistry in addition to other engineering disciplines.
Chemical engineers sometimes are called their scientific and 'universal engineers' because technical mastery is so broad .
The chemical engineering program at the Petroleum Institute focuses on the training of oil-, gas- and petrochemical-oriented Chemical Engineer
We separate things that are mixed.
Distillation, absorption, extraction, gravity separation, floatation etc
.
We mix things that are separated.
Stirred tanks, twins crew extruders, blenders, inline mixers etc.
We change things from one form to another.
Reactors, CSTRs, Plug flow reactors, fluidized bed reactors etc.
We evolved from industrial chemists in early 1900s. We evolved into chemical engineering scientists – 1950s We embraced computers processes – 1980s to analyze chemical

Student Association/Activities
American Institute of Chemical Engineering (AIChE) The world's leading organization for chemical engineering professionals, with over 40,000 members from over 90 countries The PI AIChE student chapter was launched in spring 2009 The aim of this student chapter at the PI is to involve our students with other chemical engineering students from various institutions in the world through conferences and forums
Several events and trips are organized with the aim to get PI chemical engineering students from all levels to interact and share their experiences at the PI.
*Bowling *Barbeque *Industrial Trips *Honor Day *Seminars from Industry *Poster Competition *Movies
