Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering
Established in 2005, the Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering (CHE) program within the Department of Chemical Engineering was developed to address the growing demand for skilled engineers in the energy, chemical, environmental, and process industries. The program is supported by qualified faculty, modern facilities, and well-equipped laboratories that enhance both theoretical understanding and practical experience. It serves the community by providing students from Dhofar and other regions with access to high-quality engineering education while preparing graduates to become competent, innovative, and adaptable professionals.
The program integrates fundamental sciences with engineering principles and hands-on learning to design sustainable processes and technologies that serve industry and society responsibly and ethically. The curriculum includes mathematics, physics, chemistry, and core chemical engineering disciplines, supported by laboratory work, teamwork-based projects, and a capstone design project. Industrial training further enhances professional skills such as communication, teamwork, and problem solving.
Graduates are prepared for careers in oil and gas, chemical and petrochemical industries, environmental and water sectors, and research and development, as well as for advanced studies and lifelong learning, contributing innovative solutions aligned with national development priorities. The program is committed to continuous improvement by regularly evaluating and enhancing its curriculum, teaching practices, and assessment processes, incorporating feedback from industry, alumni, and other stakeholders to ensure alignment with professional requirements and accreditation standards.
Detail
PEO1: Graduates are expected to establish successful professional careers in chemical engineering by addressing engineering and societal challenges responsibly, ethically, and sustainably.
PEO2: Graduates are expected to advance professionally through leadership, effective communication, teamwork, and lifelong learning while contributing innovative solutions aligned with national development priorities.
SO1: an ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics.
SO2: an ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors.
SO3: an ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences.
SO4: an ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts.
SO5: an ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives.
SO6: an ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions.
SO7: an ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.
For admission to the program, a student must have:
- A General Education Diploma (or its equivalent), including Pure Mathematics and at least two of the following subjects: Physics, Chemistry, or Biology, and
- Passed the Foundation Program (FP) at Dhofar University (DU) or any other Higher Education Institution (HEI) recognized by the Ministry of Education.
To graduate with a Bachelor of Science degree in Chemical Engineering, students must complete the required credit hours for the program and achieve a minimum cumulative average of 65%.
In addition, students are required to complete a period of practical training through an eight-week internship. This requirement ensures that students gain relevant hands-on experience in industrial settings.
Students must also successfully complete a final-year project, which integrates the knowledge and skills acquired throughout the program and demonstrates their ability to solve engineering problems independently.
