POLYMER AND PROCESS ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT

About The Department

The Department of Polymer and Process Engineering was established in the year 2012 in the
Saharanpur Campus of IIT Roorkee as a result of the trifurcation of the Department of Paper
Technology, under which the courses of Process engineering with MBA and Polymer Science and
Technology were temporarily run. The main aim behind creation of such a department was to cater
to the needs of the vastly developing and hugely demanding polymer and process industries
across the globe. Students of this department also have had a history of taking part in research
projects and have forged good research collaborations with research groups both in India and
abroad.
The department also boasts of world-class teaching and research facilities which in the past have
been instrumental in imparting paramount theoretical knowledge which has been beneficial to
students and research scholars alike. Industry and institute interactions are of extreme
importance, which is why our department has left no stone unturned in establishing such a
symbiotic relation by organizing guest lectures, seminars, industrial visits, consultation projects
and internships.
The alumni of this department have already made an impact on the world stage and have time and
time again owed their success to the educationally conducive environment of this campus and the
endless support of its teachers.

Academic Programmes
1)POLYMER SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY (4 year B.Tech course):
{Year of commencement 2012-2013; formerly 5-year Integrated M.Tech course 2006-2011 }
A Five Year course of Integrated M Tech programme in Polymer Science and Technology is designed to
cater to the needs of the Polymer industry and simultaneously impart knowledge of the allied
chemical,petrochemical industry and applied sciences. The academic curriculum focusses on all
aspects of polymer industry-from manufacturing to proce ssing to end product development with an
aim to instil knowledge of the most recent advances and to promote innovative ideas and scientific
thinking. The effective integration of courses in Polymers with those of Chemical engineering as well as
Basic and Engineering sciences makes this programme unique in its structure and utilitarian in its
employment potential.

1)PROCESS ENGINEERING WITH MBA(5 year Integrated Dual Degree course):

The process engineering with MBA program is a five year integrated dual degree program offering a
Bachelor's Degree in Process Engineering and a Master's Degree in Business Administration on
successful completion. The academic program is well designed covering all aspects of process
engineering, from basic chemical engineering to process control, plant design, modeling, simulation
and economics. The course curriculum is tailored to produce well bred “techno-managers” whose
expertise can be applied in both managerial and technical aspects of chemical and process industries,
consultancies and research institutes.

Message from The Head of Department

The Five-year Integrated Dual Degree (IDD) B.Tech (Process Engineering) and
M.B.A. programas well as the Integrated M.Tech program in Polymer Science and
Technology have been started by the institute in the pursuance of the national
policy to produce young graduates of very high talent.
The focus of these programs is to produce technocrats to keep up with the
demands of the progressively integrating technological, research and business
worlds. The modern chemical, process and polymer industry is dynamic, complex and ever-changing.
Only professionals with scientific, technical and managerial acumen with a desire to surmount
challenges and the courage to embrace novelty can survive in such a scenario. Our academic focus
spans all aspects of process and polymer engineering, and equally emphasises on building a strong
foundation in engineering and basic sciences. The students and faculty also participate extensively in
collaborative research programs with industries and universities globally.
I am sure that these programs will further fulfill our mission to forge a time-calibrated and future-driven
partnership between industry and IIT Roorkee.
