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.
