Broadly speaking, Engineering is the application of scientific, economic, social, and practical knowledge in order to design, build, maintain, and improve structures, machines, devices, systems, materials and processes using the engineering design process. It also encompasses using insights to conceive, model and scale an appropriate solution to a problem or objective.
The Faculty of Engineering at Minhaj University Lahore has initiated the Programs in Electrical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Chemical Engineering as well as B.Tech Programs in Electrical and Civil.
Our outstanding and highly qualified faculty is working tirelessly to establish a world-class Engineering Program, and to that affect, all the resources and infrastructure has been put in place.
The New Laboratory Complex, which has over 65,000 sq. ft. covered area, houses state-of-the art Laboratories of Electrical, Civil and Chemical Engineering departments, Design Studios, Machines Lab, Simulation and Modelling Labs and Computer Simulation Centre that caters to the need of our students.
The well-equipped labs ensure that the students receive highest level of practical training in their chosen engineering field
Chemical Engineering is a discipline influencing numerous areas of technology. In broad terms, chemical engineers are responsible for the conception and design of processes for the purpose of production, transformation and transportation of material. This activity begins with experimentation in the laboratory and is followed by implementation of the technology to full scale production. The large number of industries which depend on the synthesis and processing of chemicals and materials place the chemical engineering in great demand ; in addition to traditional examples such as the chemical , energy and oil industry, opportunities in biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, electronic device fabrication, and environmental engineering are increasing. The unique training of the chemical engineer becomes essential in these areas whenever processes involve the chemical or physical transformation of matter. For example, chemical engineers working in the chemical industry investigate the creation of new polymeric materials with important electrical, optical or mechanical properties. This requires attention not only to the synthesis of the polymer, but also to the flow and forming processes necessary to create a final product.
In biotechnology, chemical engineers have responsibilities in the design of production facilities to use microorganism and enzymes to synthesize new drugs. Problems in environmental engineering that engage chemical engineers include the development of processes (catalytic converters, effluent treatment facilities) to minimize the release of or deactivate products harmful to the environment. To carry out these activities, the chemical engineer requires a complete and quantitative understanding of both the engineering and scientific principles underlying theses technological processes. This is reflected in the HEC approved curriculum of the chemical engineering department which includes the study of applied mathematics, material and energy balances, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, energy and mass transfer, separation technologies, chemical reaction kinetics and reactors design, and process design . These courses are built on a foundation in the sciences of chemistry, physics and biology.
