Principle
Charge of the education of the Undergraduate Course Program of Chemical Process Engineering is taken by the faculty members of the Department of Chemical Engineering. The program is organized to study “Chemical Engineering”.
Chemical engineering, as a discipline, is distinguished by the investigation of methodologies of: 1) extracting principle phenomena from targeted chemical processes, 2) quantitatively analyzing their essential properties and dynamic characteristics, and finally 3) designing and constructing optimal systems by which the functional properties of materials are enhanced and substances/energy are produced most efficiently.
The investigation of methodologies is very useful in tackling the issues of 1) creating materials with functions useful for mankind using chemical transformation, and 2) proposing environmentally benign and efficient methods to produce materials and energy. The Chemical Process Engineering Course educates students with the purpose of nurturing the talent who will one day find answers to these issues.
