Dr.Deshmukh Satyajit Machhindra
Head of Department, Chemical Engineering (NBA Accredited Program)
Hearty welcome to the Department of Chemical Engineering at Datta Meghe College of Engineering, Airoli, Navi Mumbai. The course leading to a bachelor’s degree in chemical engineering was started in the year 1999. The department has evolved since then with leaps and bounds in terms of faculty expertise, infrastructure, and quality of education and student performance. The department is a vibrant place with 09 full-time academic staff from reputed institutions, including IIT and ICT Mumbai, and dedicated supporting staff (all faculty are PhD holders in their respective fields of specialization).The Department of Chemical Engineering is NBA accredited for three years, i.e., from academic session 2023-24 up to 2025-26.
The BE Chemical Engineering program is an excellent blend of fundamentals of chemical and allied branches combined with practical skills that are essential to begin professional careers after graduation. Our students are exposed to practical problems through the department’s 06 well-equipped laboratories, including the software laboratory for advanced computations and simulations using software.
Industrial tours and in-plant training are arranged in reputed chemical firms for our students every semester to link classroom teaching with working chemical plants. A variety of workshops, guest lectures, and webinars on emerging topics in chemical engineering and career progression are arranged for students. Reputed firms visit our campus to recruit the graduating engineers like NOCIL, Jacobs Engg, ICB Technimont, Toyo Engg, Apar Industries, Randstad Technology, etc.
Students play a major role in the department's activities too. Students participate in various cultural, sports, and technical competitions held at various institutes spread across the state. The department has active students’ chapters, namely IIChE (Indian Institute of Chemical Engineers) and a department professional body named Students’ Organization of Chemical Engineers (SOChE), which are actively engaged in various technical and social activities. The department fosters our students' participation & guides them to excel in various events organized at IITs and other reputed institutions.
I wish chemical students pleasant and successful four years in the department!
