PROGRAM LEVEL
The Doctor of Philosophy program (PhD) in Chemical Engineering provides an opportunity for students to pursue a program of research in a specialized area and to develop a dissertation that embodies the results of original research and gives evidence of high scholarship.
The PhD thesis shall make an original and significant contribution to engineering knowledge. The program requires successful completion of (75 Credits). A Ph.D. candidate is required to complete a minimum of 7 courses (21 Credits). In addition, each student is expected to complete an original research work and take an examination within three years of commencing his/her research study (54 Credits). The student must demonstrate a critical awareness and understanding of the literature in the research field and exhibit capabilities of defining original and usefulness problem. Originality may be assessed by considering the extent to which parts of the thesis might be published in peer-reviewed technical journals with international stature. Ph.D. students are expected to publish scientific papers in peer-reviewed international journals prior to submitting the thesis.

PROGERAM OBJECTIVES
The Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) program in Chemical Engineering provides graduates with opportunity to enhance their fundamental knowledge in chemical engineering. Students will be trained in scientific inquiry, analysis and critical appraisal of technological issues through course and research works. The PhD thesis shall make significant contribution to engineering knowledge.
PROGRAM INTENDED LEARNING OUTCOMES
a) Demonstrate detailed critical knowledge of specialist theories, principles and concepts of civil engineering and its major current issues.
b) Apply highly specialized and expert skills of mathematics, chemistry, physics, computing, safety, and engineering to research complex and sophisticated problems that includes analysis, design, optimization, and control of components, systems, and processes important in civil engineering practice.
c) To demonstrate significant range of professional skills to communicate results of research and innovation to peers and others.
d) To articulate and practice professional, ethical, and societal responsibilities.
e) Deal with very complex and/or new situations, issues and/or problems, and make informed judgments in situations where data/information is very limited and /or inconsistent.
f) To critically analyze, evaluate and/or synthesize complex ideas and information to develop creative and original solutions/interpretations to problems and issues.
