The Department of Chemistry at Rajshahi
University of Engineering & Technology was established to teach the basic
and fundamental aspects of chemistry to undergraduate students in various core
engineering departments since the inception of the erstwhile Rajshahi
Engineering College in 1964. Over time, the department has expanded its focus
by initiating postgraduate programs (M. Phil and PhD) in 2003 to foster
research activities and enrich the expertise of faculty members.
In 2019, the department introduced its M. Sc.
program, successfully enrolling several students in the academic year
2019-2020. Since the establishment of the postgraduate programs, the department
has produced a significant number of graduates who are contributing their
skills and knowledge to various government, autonomous, and
non-government/private institutions within the country.
The department is currently facilitating
research in diverse areas of chemistry, including Inorganic and Coordination
Chemistry, Organic and Food Chemistry, Electrochemistry, and more. The presence
of state-of-the-art structural and laboratory facilities is enhancing the
department's research capabilities, aiming to produce skilled professionals who
can serve the nation with distinction and contribute to its success and glory.
Furthermore, the department is actively seeking
local and international projects to enhance its research activities, aiming to
further develop skilled manpower to serve the nation successfully and
gloriously. This proactive approach aligns with the department's commitment to
advancing research and education in the field of chemistry.
