Polymeric & Petrochemical Materials Engineering

About the Branch:

The program of Polymeric and Petrochemical Materials Engineering is dedicated to providing the country with specialists for a broad base of polymer-related materials through the development and application of our core competencies, which include education, research, analysis, design, synthesis and performance testing. The objective of both our academic and research functions is the practical application of scientific and engineering principles to generate new material and processing concepts and enhance technical problem solving capabilities related to the production and use of polymer.

The branch was established in 2010/2011.

Vision, Mission & Objectives

Vision:

The polymeric and petrochemical branch aims to promote the industrial and productive reality of the country, as it is rich in oil which considered as the main source of the polymeric and petrochemical industries. The branch also looks forward to use other clean natural sources in the production of natural and synthetic polymers via polymerization processes, as well as recycling of plastic waste which poses a great danger to the environment worldwide.

Mission:

Establishing of an integrated educational and academic program, that supports the country’s needs in both governmental and private sectors for engineers specialized in the production and manufacture of polymeric and petrochemical substances. The educational and academic program of the branch also supports the practical aspects in terms of design and management of production plants and factories as well as identification and conducting various tests and surface treatments to improve the performance of the polymeric materials.

Objectives:

The academic program is focused in the following objectives:
1- to solve problems from the practical side by applying engineering and scientific principles .
2- to conduct various experiments in the production, manufacture, characterizing and inspection of polymeric substances .
3- to utilize various software and statistical analysis techniques to carry out engineering designs according to work requirements .
4- to deal with various aspects of work in the ethics of engineering profession.
5- to work in teams and promote confidence among the team members .
