Chemical industry Faculty:
A Brief History of the Faculty of Chemical industrial Engineering
The Faculty of Chemical Industrial Engineering is a faculty within the Kabul Polytechnic University that has trained young engineers in the field of chemical industry for the development and development of the country.
The Department of Chemical Technology was established in the year 1350 AH, corresponding to August 1971, within the Faculty of Geology and Mining. We will first look at the performance of the Department of Chemical Technology over the years.
The Department of Chemical Technology introduced 13 students to the Afghan society in the first term of the solar year 1351. During the years of its operation, the department employs young engineers at Bachelor's and Master's level day and night in various fields such as Organic Substances Technology, Inorganic Substances Technology, Fat Production Technology, Organic Substances Technology, Trained in grain refining technology and fermentation technology. The Department of Chemical Technology has graduated 725 persons in 31 terms, out of which 232 are at Masters level.
Also, two people have defended their doctoral dissertation by taking advantage of the research possibilities in the field of chemical technology. In 1350 AD, Chemical Technology was established within the framework of Kabul Polytechnic University. Since most of its departments were related to geology and mining, the name of the faculty was changed to Geology and Mining. The Department of Chemical Technology was upgraded to the Faculty of Chemical Technology in 1388 to respond to the market demand for Chemical Technology Engineers.
As industry and production is the demand and necessity of a society that plays an important role in the development and strengthening of a country's national economy, in order to have a complete knowledge of the faculty and its departments as well as the department of today. In keeping with the times, the faculty members of the Faculty of Chemical Technology have changed the name of the faculty to Chemical Industrial Engineering, a name that is almost common all over the world.
The Faculty of Chemical Industrial Engineering has 5 departments, of which 3 are graduate departments and 2 are general departments, as follows:
- Department of Petrochemical and Gas Industrial Engineering (Graduate)
- Department of Inorganic Substances Industrial Engineering (Graduate)
- Department of Food Engineering (Graduate)
- Department of Chemical Engineering (General)
- General Chemistry Department (General)
Currently,
The current Dean of the Faculty of Chemical Engineering is Dr. Mohammad Akbar Hasani.
Over the last few years, a large number of local and foreign professors have been working in the Faculty of Chemical industrial Engineering, and 49 different professional books have been published by the professors. The faculty members of the faculty have academic relations with all the scientific and industrial institutions of the country in the spirit of cooperation and have collaborated with most of the ministries and private institutions in analyzing and evaluating the quality of raw materials and products. Therefore, training of academic and technical cadres for the public and private sectors of the country is the policy and goal of this faculty.
