Syllabus for B.Sc. in Chemical Engineering

Faculty of Engineering
1. Program Name: B.Sc. in Chemical Engineering
2. Awarded Degree:
Full Name : Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering

Abbreviation : ChE
3. Organizer: Department of Chemical Engineering, Faculty of Engineering
4. Philosophy and Objectives
 Philosophy
The Department‟s philosophy is more of a “learning institution” than a mere “teaching institution”. It
is not a “teaching shop”; obviously the focus is more on knowledge than mere skills. The faculty are
individuals who are deep researchers qualified to write and critique contemporary textbooks in the area
they teach; obviously they do not teach to a “fixed syllabus”. They “design” the courses taking into
account current trends and the student background so as to blend what is collectively taught across
different courses into a cohesive body of knowledge that prepares the students not just for today but to
take on the developments that are likely to take place years ahead. What is laid in the courses is a solid
foundation that prepares the individual student to pursue academic or industrial career with rigor and
innovation. The lectures are supplemented by tutorials and self-reading (both individually and in
groups) as well as projects. It is not sufficient to pick up what is taught in the class or written in the
textbooks; it is important to understand, assimilate and demonstrate the individual and collective ability
to apply the knowledge to a research / application environment.
 Objectives
i. To produce Chemical Engineers, with sound academic background with the ability to apply
them correctly, in meeting challenges of the profession.
ii. To give the graduates the necessary communication skills and the ability to use new
technologies to develop themselves to move with the rapidly innovative world.
iii. To produce highly skilled and morally sensitive professional leadership in the country.

13. Changing Department or Program:
Students willing to change the department and program should apply to the Head of the department to which
s/he is interested in getting admitted. The application should be submitted along with the transcripts of the
previous courses completed. The department will scrutinize the application. Upon the recommendation of the
department and the faculty the student who is interested in getting admitted, the office of the Registrar will make
necessary arrangements to transfer.
14. Waiver of Courses
Students with excellent academic records and/or extensive professional experience may apply to the Dean of the
Faculty or the Advisor of the program along with the latest academic transcripts issued by the previous
institutions for course waiver. A student who has completed the same or advanced course and got the letter
grade of „B‟ or higher from the institution which follows the grading policy of UGC of Bangladesh may get the
course waiver from the current program. However, the letter grade „C‟ can also be considered for course waiver
if the highest letter grade „A‟ or „A+‟ of the institution is based on 90% or higher marks. Under all
circumstances, authority reserves the right to accept or refuse the student‟s appeal for course waiver.
5
15. Credit Transfer
The student, native or foreign, willing to transfer his/her credits from other accredited institutions must fulfill
the general admission requirements for the specific program. The student must write an application for credit
transfer to the Registrar along with the Official Academic Transcripts issued by the previous institutions and
NOC (no objection certificate). Under no circumstances, can a student transfer more than 50% credits from
other institutions.
The student willing to transfer his/her credits to other institutions in Bangladesh or abroad must write an
application to the Registrar along with the papers issued by the institution s/he is willing to study. The student
may again come back and study. S/he can also attend classes in a trimester but s/he has to register for courses as
special or non-degree student.
15. Credit Loads
To be considered a full-time student, a student must carry a minimum of 12 credits and 9 credits per trimester
for undergraduate and graduate program respectively; otherwise s/he will be treated as a part-time student. A
student willing to take more than 16 credits and 12 credits in a trimester for undergraduate and graduate
programs respectively must take written permission from the Dean of the Faculty. A student may change the
status of full-time or part-time twice in the entire program. The application for changing the status must be
submitted to the Dean of the Faculty at least 2 weeks before the class commencement date of each trimester.
16. Late Registration
Students who do not complete registration during the period specified in the registration instructions may do so
during the late registration period. Students registering late may be subject to a late payment fee determined by
authority from time to time. The university reserves the right to refuse registration to a student who does not
adhere to published registration schedules.
17. Add/Drop of Courses
Students must obtain permission from their academic advisor or the Dean of the Faculty to add or drop courses.
Without penalty students may add or drop courses in the second week and with penalty they may do so in the
third week from the class commencement date in each trimester. The amount of penalty will be announced by
the Office of the Registrar.
18. Withdrawal
A student willing to withdraw from all courses before the end of the second week from the class commencement
date in each trimester must write an application and submit it to the Office of the Registrar. The date on which
the Registrar signs the withdrawal form is considered the official withdrawal date. A student who leaves the
university without officially withdrawing in this manner receives a failing grade (F) in each course.
A student is not eligible for any adjustment of tuition fees unless the withdrawal is formally reported to the
Office of the Registrar. A student who leaves the university after the second week receives F grades in all
courses.
19. Readmission
A student who is dismissed for any reason, or who withdraws during a trimester, or who fails to register for the
next regularly scheduled trimester may not register again without receiving permission from the Dean to re-
enter. Students seeking re-entry must initiate the process at least 3 weeks prior to the beginning of the trimester
for which registration is sought.
6
20. Holds
The privileges of registration, advance registration, and receipt of transcripts are barred to students having
outstanding obligations to the university. Obligations may take the form of unpaid dues, unreturned or damaged
books and equipment, other charges for which a student may become legally indebted to the university, and
failure to comply with the disciplinary sanctions or administrative actions. The departments or offices may place
“holds” on registration, and transcripts for any students having an outstanding obligation.
21. Class Schedules and Hours
Starting and closing dates for each trimester, scheduled holidays, and other important scheduling information
can be found in the academic calendar.
22. Attendance
The students have to be present in the classroom and ensure an attendance of at least 60% in each course
registered. Attendance below 75% will make the student non-collegiate.
23. Probation and Dismissal
As soon as a student‟s number of grade „F‟s reaches 2 in a particular trimester, s/he will be placed on probation
for the next three trimesters. Failure to raise the grade „F‟ by the end of probationary period will lead to his/her
dismissal. Generally a student on probation will not register for any new course(s) in a trimester. However, with
the special permission from the academic advisor or the course coordinator a student can register for a
maximum of 2 new courses in a trimester. Students who are on probation or subject to dismissal are not allowed
to drop a trimester or to take leave of absence.
24. Timetable and Seating Plan
The timetable of exam and a list showing the room along with seating plan will be posted on the notice board of
the concerned program prior to the exam. Candidates must sit in the exam room according to the seating plan.
Sitting outside of the designated place may result in the exam being disqualified.
25. Admit Card and ID card
Candidates must bring their admit cards and/or ID cards issued by authority to the exam room. The invigilator may not allow any
candidate to take exam without admit card and/or ID card.
26. Duration of Examinations
The duration of all mid-term and trimester final examinations will be one hour and a half (120 minutes) and two
hours (180 minutes) respectively.
