Chemical Engineering An-Najah National University

Overview

The quality of education of this department has been known to be of high standards, as evident by testimonies of chemical industry employers who hired its graduates and international graduate schools at which some of its former students decided to pursue graduate degrees.

Chemical engineering education, by nature, is a branch of engineering education that is well known for its high demand for laboratories and practical skills. Hence, several laboratories were established within the department to fulfill the practical aspect of chemical engineering education that goes hand-in-hand with theoretical education. At the same time, a revised undergraduate curriculum, with respect to its basic sciences, engineering sciences, engineering design, and humanities contents, was initiated in order to comply with the requirements of a contemporary engineering education.

Career Opportunities

This is the most important part of the Chemical Engineering program of the An-Najah National University. We can say that the local private sector and public sector start to understand what the chemical engineers, so we have work opportunities in public sector such as Civil Defense, the Criminal laboratories and environmental treatment plants while they have good opportunities in the five pharmaceutical plants. They find works at surface coating plants, and detergent manufacturing plants. Ten percent of our graduates have post-graduation.

The department have created “Chemical Engineering Alumni group" to follow up their career life. Therefore, we are in direct contact with more than 80% of our graduates. Work advertisements are issued frequently. The group members do their best to help each other. They are lot of work opportunities in the gulf region. The male engineers benefit more on this, this is because the females got married and they seek a work place close to their residents, which is difficult to provide, even at industrial countries.
