Introduction

Civilization started with the invention of fire or in other words it started with the knowledge of chemistry and later its contribution in providing energy, food, shelter, clothing, medicine, engineering materials, information technology gadgets and other necessities of life evidence that human being progress goes hand in hand with the progress of chemistry. Thus, chemistry was one of the programs offered at KFUEIT in 2016 for quality education and specialization in its different core branches such as organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry, physical chemistry, analytical and applied chemistry. With highly qualified and internationally engaged faculty, well- equipped laboratories and resource rich library facilities the department of chemistry is striving to prepare students to take part into national and international challenging research problems and internships for the fine tuning of their intellectual capabilities and technical skills.

Vision & Mission

The department of chemistry at KFUEIT dreams to accomplish high distinction in teaching and research, to produce chemistry experts of international level proficiencies and to build up a world class center of excellence in teaching and research within the industrial triangle of southern Punjab.

Scope and Associated Career

  • The common purpose is to achieve the highest possible standards of scholarship, teaching and research in chemistry and allied subjects.
  • The program for majors is designed to enable students to develop in-depth understanding of chemical principles; a working knowledge of the properties of chemicals; a familiarity with the use of the chemistry literature; skills in basic laboratory methods, including modern instrumentation; the ability to observe, record, interpret critically, and communicate experimental results; and a facility in analytical and logical problem solving.
  • To impart a sound knowledge of chemistry to students and to help them use this knowledge creatively and analytically.
  • To develop and improve practical, written and oral communication, information retrieval, computer and problem-solving skills.
  • To encourage the students to become effective and independent learners.
