Department of Engineering Chemistry

The Department of chemistry is established in the year 1980, as a Supporting department to all Engineering branches, aims at imparting the knowledge of basic scientific concepts of chemistry to engineering studies. The department has 04 faculty members, 03 faculty members have Ph.D degree and one faculty pursuing his Ph.D. The department is a recognized research centre of VTU, Belgaum. Presently five students are working for their doctoral degree of which one
submitted his thesis. It has developed research expertise in current research domains of Coordination Chemistry, Synthetic Organic Chemistry, Environmental Chemistry, and Nanotechnology.

Department has more than 30 research publications in reputed peer-reviewed national and international journals with high impact factors. Blend of teaching experience and research expertise of the faculty is an added advantage in training the students.

Vision
