Chemical engineering is the branch of engineering which deals with changing the composition, energy content, and state of aggregation of materials. The programme encompasses the fundamental properties and nature of matter (chemistry), the forces that act on matter(physics), and the precise expressions of the relationships between them (mathematics). It therefore incorporates computer-based modelling techniques to handle the application of these sciences to engineering problems. The programme includes courses aimed at process design of different production systems such as: food processing systems, fertilizers, rubber, fibres, and fuels. There is now a growing field of biomedical engineering involving chemical engineers in the development of specialized polymeric materials for use in artificial arms,legs,and other human organs. Thus, the programme is designed to provide abroad technical basis with an emphasis on material balances, energy balances, separation processes, rate processes, unit operations, and process economics and design.
