Feedback about the course contents as well as overall structure was taken from various experts (alumni as well as others), who are
working in the areas of Chemical Engineering and technology, from industry and academic Institutions. These experts were from
diverse backgrounds (R&D, production, design, consultancy, engineering, technology, etc. Some of the salient points of the
feedback are:
ICT students have excellent background in chemistry, industrial aptitude, core chemical engineering subjects.
Analytical abilities and mathematical aptitude needs to be further strengthened
Students need to be exposed to newer and emerging areas in Chemical Engineering and Technology, such as, nanotechnology,
biotechnology, product design, sustainability, energy engineering, etc.
Industry relevant applications, such as, Chemical process Safety, Scale-up, Engineering standards and codes, P&ID, etc. need to
be covered
Students need to be exposed to standard commonly used softwares, such as, MATLAB, ASPEN, etc.
Syllabus needs to have more electives and flexibility for student to choose courses as per liking, electives can be grouped to
form one area of expertise
Communication skills, Interpersonal skills, team work need to be strengthened
Knowledge in management related subjects need to be enhanced; e.g. finance, human resource, IP, etc.

CEP 1710 Internship
After the end of the sixth semester examination and before the start of the seventh semester, every student will have to
undergo an internship. The Internship would be of 6 credits.
The internship (preferably Industrial Internship) would be assigned to the student by the Departmental Internship
Coordinator, with the approval of Head, Chemical Engineering Department.
The total duration of the internship would be for a period equivalent to 12 Calendar weeks. This period typically start from
1st May and end before 30th July every year. This means the end semester examination of T. Y. B. Chem. Engg. (Semester
VI) should be completed by 25th April every year. The Semester VII (4th Year B. Chem. Engg.) should commence w.e.f. 1st
Aug every year. The internship may be completed in one or more organizations as described below.
The internship could be of the following forms:
(i) industrial internship in a company (within India or Abroad) involved in R&D / design / manufacturing (QA/QC/Plant
Engineering/Stores and Purchase) / marketing / finance / consultancy / Technical services / Engineering / Projects, etc.
(ii) research internship in reputed Institutes (within India or Abroad) like, ICT, IITs, NITs, IISC, NCL, IICT etc.
At the end of the internship, each student will submit a written report based on the work carried out during the Internship.
The report will be countersigned by the Supervisor from Industry / Institute as the case may be.
Performance of the student will be assessed based on the written report and a presentation to a committee consisting of two
faculty members from the Chemical Engineering Department.
Students will be assigned a grade based on the written report and a presentation; evaluated by a committee of faculty
members.

The course offers fundamental principles of biochemistry, genetics, molecular biology, and cell biology. Biological function at
the molecular level is particularly emphasized and covers the structure and regulation of genes, as well as, the structure and
synthesis of proteins, how these molecules are integrated into cells, and how these cells are integrated into multicellular systems
and organisms.
The course also offers important contribution to understand chemical reactions present in living organisms. A cell is the
smallest self-preserving and self-reproducing unit. Many complex chemical reactions and complex transport processes occur. A
cell looks like a chemical plant.

The course Environmental Engineering and Process Safety is highly relevant in all fields of activities, and process industry in
particular. A chemical engineer working in any function of process industry should have working knowledge of all the prevailing
safety,environment, and health standards, and may be involved in / responsible for any or all of the following:
- site process safety, environmental affairs
- assisting the Health Safety Environment (HSE) team
- employee safety observations and pre-job risk assessments
- implementation of HSE policies and guidelines to help ensure that all employees, contractors, and visitors enjoy high levels
of safety, health and environmental protection; this reduces companys liability exposure.
- improvement of process safety performance and reduction of risk by facilitating Process Hazard Analyses and Layer of
Protection Analyses
- incident investigations for process safety and environmental incidents
- recognising information that would be pertinent to process safety documentation and follow through with site personnel to
ensure information is well documented
- developing and updating site Policies and Procedures related to process safety and environmental.
- capital and other project teams to identify and resolve regulatory issues, analyse process and property hazards, and establish
protective measures to mitigate risks to a tolerable level.
- assisting the plant with government interfaces and inspections.
- training using internal and external resources; provides guidance to site management for implementation of programs or
controls to comply with environmental requirements.
- managing site environmental programs including but not limited to waste management, spill prevention & response, etc.
- preparation and submission of reports to appropriate agencies to assure compliance with federal, state and local regulations.
Responds to corporate requests in a timely manner.
- obtaining new or revised environmental permits that provide operational flexibility within the schedule established for new
projects. Ensure that the operating units can meet all provisions and provide tools to enable compliance.
- providing environmental guidance; develop procedures and training, and HSE support as needed.
- participate in site objectives in the areas of community relations.
The above clearly highlights the necessity and significance of the course. This course will certainly add value to our chemical
engineering graduates.

List of Courses where this course will be prerequisite
This course is required for graduating engineers to function effectively in Industry, Academia and other
professional spheres. This course is in Semester VIII
Description of relevance of this course in the B. Chem. Engg. Program
Modern day manufacturing activities and R&D activites need decisions taken with a scientific rigour and should be wellsupported by statistics. Chemical engineering graduates who will serve industry as well as postgraduate research students who
will serve industry, R&D organisations, or academic research should have a reasonably good background of statistical decision
making. This also involves extraction of meaningful data from well-designed minimal number of experiments at the lowest
possible material costs. This course will also help the students in all domains of their life by imparting them a vision for critical
appraisal and analysis of data.
