To be a department of global renown advancing contributions of chemical engineering to society through excellence in education, research, and social responsibility
The Department of Chemical Engineering is committed to
(1) Provide outstanding education thereby educating engineers empowered with excellent technical and leadership skills, integrity, and social responsibility
(2) Create novel and sustainable solutions to serve public interests and to address global challenges in key areas such as energy and environment
Established in the year 2014, the department of Chemical Engineering currently offers B.Tech Programme in Chemical Engineering. Chemical engineering is the broadest branch of engineering, educating professionals to design, produce, operate, and monitor chemical industry processes, as well as the production of chemical processes for transforming raw materials or chemicals into useful forms, such as those used to extract chemicals from waste materials, in order to allow large-scale manufacturing. It blends chemistry and engineering knowledge for the manufacture of chemicals and by-products. This branch of engineering is broad, encompassing everything from biotechnology and nanotechnology to mineral processing. It includes a wide range of chemical technology fields such as mineral-based manufacturing, petrochemical plants, pharmaceuticals, synthetic fibres, petroleum processing plants, and so on. The syllabus is thoughtfully designed and systematically aligned to the global standards emphasising the fundamentals, the scope of the discipline, and the necessary flexibility in applying the fundamentals in a broad range of contexts. The department has experienced and trained faculty to impart knowledge in this specialized field.

The department is equipped with research centres such as the Centre for Composite Materials, Centre for Advanced Thermal Studies, Centre for BioComposites, and Centre for Surface Engineering for students to carry out in-depth research activities and learn practically which helps the undergraduate students to get exposure and experience in the advanced machines. The department has funded research projects in the area of Optimization Studies, Composite Materials, Machining Studies, Supersonic Flow, Heat transfer, and CO2 sequestration by DST, DRDO, AICTE and International funding agencies. The department receives regular funding from many prestigious organisations working in the field of Science and Technology. The department currently has 9 ongoing research projects with total funding of INR. 1,81,67,690 and completed 12 research projects with total funding of INR. 234.6 Lakhs. The department has 100 publications published under their name.
I feel glad of choosing biotechnology as my main stream in Kalasalingam Academy of Research and Education. The department is marvellous, equipped with all sophisticated instrument which help the students to enrich and enlighten their practical knowledge and theory classes. The professors are very humble, friendly and very dedicated towards their work always help students to come out with flying colours. The paradigm of curriculum designed by the university is appreciative, it always tends to push the students to one step ahead in their life and help feeble person to become sagacious one. The infrastructure is magnificent with pleasant and relaxing atmosphere. Many opportunities are being provided to scrutinise and rejuvenate the career of the student.
