1.1 Chemical engineering overview
Chemical engineers design processes to ensure the most economical operation. This means that the entire production chain must be planned and controlled for costs. A chemical engineer can both simplify and complicate "showcase" reactions for an economic advantage. Using a higher pressure or temperature makes several reactions easier; ammonia, for example, is simply produced from its component elements in a high-pressure reactor. On the other hand, reactions with a low yield can be recycled continuously, which would be complex, arduous work if done by hand in the laboratory. It is not unusual to build 6-step, or even 12-step evaporators to reuse the vaporization energy for an economic advantage. In contrast, laboratory chemists evaporate samples in a single step.
The individual processes used by chemical engineers (e.g., distillation or filtration) are called unit operations and consist of chemical reactions, mass-, heat- and momentum- transfer operations. Unit operations are grouped together in various configurations for the purpose of chemical synthesis and/or chemical separation. Some processes are a combination of intertwined transport and separation unit operations, (e.g., reactive distillation).Three primary physical laws underlying chemical engineering design are conservation of mass, conservation of momentum and conservation of energy. The movement of mass and energy around a chemical process are evaluated using mass balances and energy balances, laws that apply to discrete parts of equipment, unit operations, or an entire plant. In doing so, chemical engineers must also use principles of thermodynamics, reaction kinetics, fluid mechanics and

processing, food processing, environmental technology, and the engineering of petroleum, glass, paints and other coatings, inks, sealants and adhesives. A variety of substances found in everyday life have been made under the supervision of a chemical engineer.
1.2 Historical back ground
For all intents and purpose Chemical engineering profession has been began in 1888 when Professor Lewis Norton of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (USA) initiated the first four year bachelor program. In Ethiopia Chemical engineering has been began in 1976 E.C in, A.A.U, Bahir Dar University in 1991 E.C, Adama and Dire Dawa University in 2001 E.C, Mekelle University ( EiT-M) is now to launch the program in 2003 E.C

Rationale for the curriculum
:A need assessment survey was conducted using questionnaire and interview withEmployers in companies/process industries. These industries include:- Messebo cement factory,Shebo Leather factory, Addis Pharmaceutical factory, Almeda Textile factory, Adwa life spring water, Biruh Tesfa plastic products factory, Desta Alcholic products factory,Abergele sloughter exportsfactory, Romanat, MAA garment and Michew Particle Board processing factory.The aim of the survey was to make use of the collected feed back in designing relevant curricula for the B.Sc. program in Chemical engineering.The need assessment revealed that the following were major problems that need to be addressed to make the shortage and quality of the graduates to the level expected.
According to the result of the survey, the companies/industries display as there is:
Insufficient practical skills with in this profession poor feasibility studies
Unimproved process control, process optimization and improvement Poor product,
Poor process system design. Poor system recovery
Inefficient quality and quantity of product
Untrained man power with in chemical engineering profession
There is a high demand of chemical engineering professionals to address problems such as
- Material utilization and recycling
- Process modeling instrumentation and control - Process modification and improving
- Inefficient massive production - Energy optimization
- Waste water treatment plant design etc
Therefore it is clear that at present Ethiopia expands and give ambitions to industry developments but lacks technical professionals: Generally there are no enough professionals
Ethiopian Institute of Technology-Mekelle (EiT-M)
Department of Chemical Engineering
of chemical engineers in different sectors of industry which the Government has given Priority such as sugar industries, textiles, garments, leather and food processing and in general process industries; considered as the critical infrastructure for the country to change the living standards of the people. There is weak support for industrial sectors: Even though there are organizations established to support industries like the Quality and Standard Authority and the Leather Technology Institute, they don’t have enough skilled and well trained staff. Thus chemical engineering discipline should produce trained people that can work at all supervisory levels within industry and at national level. These will be skilled at, a bachelor’s degree level. If the new department to achieve the kind of education that interviewees say is needed for Ethiopia’s development strategy, it will need to think carefully about its assessment strategy.
It is, therefore, impossible to make the country an industrialization lead with untrained manpower. Chemical Engineer is thus the one who simplify and make the economic Standards of the country to be quenching in the range of civilized countries, having excellent middle income. Yet, the number of professionals in the field of Chemical Engineering is not sufficient enough to satisfy the needs of the country. It is therefore, with this understanding that Ethiopian Institute of Technology-Mekelle would like to propose the establishment of new Chemical Engineering department within the institute of technology.
PRINCIPLES OF PROFESSIONALISM
As any engineering discipline, even more, to be allowed to act as recognized Chemical Engineers, the person must have achieved certain level in academic, practical experience and maintained given code of conduct. These are given below:
Education
The educational requirement for working as a chemical engineer is a minimum of five -year Bachelor’s degree in Chemical engineering or its area of specialization. All persons working in these areas must have at least a bachelor's degree in a relevant field. Graduates in chemical engineering from accredited institutions are eligible to work as chemical engineers. Nowadays, additional criteria such as experience, results of professional tests, and specializations are used set for granting licenses that enable practicing as professional
Ethiopian Institute of Technology-Mekelle (EiT-M)
Department of Chemical Engineering
required competency for the outcome of excellence is achieved by adding experience to the educational components of a student's learning. Experience is essential; experience coupled with formal education is very much valuable.
Practical experience should cover:
1. Product and process Invention – synthesis 2. Product and process and apparatus design 3. Pollution assessment, monitoring and control 4. Selection of process apparatus
5. Process plant erection and commissioning 6. Operation and maintenance
7. Basic and applied research
8. Practical management and business administration
Demonstration of Professional Knowledge and Ability
Chemical engineering is a relatively young and rapidly growing field. As a result, curriculum and training facilities are changing rapidly. Thus, the graduates are required to update themselves with the state-of-the art methods and skills through short term training and other options. This helps them to prove that have always maintained professional qualification with acceptable level of knowledge and ability. They are required to know professional standard of behavior established by code of ethics and act according through their professional career.
Registration/Licensing/Certification
It is obvious that engineers should meet formal minimum standard requirements in terms of education, training and experience to practice the profession in the interest of the public through registration, licensing or certification. Registration/licensing/certification is the official legal recognition of an individual qualification allowing her or him to practice as a chemical engineer associated with regulations preventing unqualified persons performing certain functions. This process is to be done at regional and federal level for different stages of professional certifications. The professional associations are making efforts to prepare new guidelines for certification in collaboration with the state agencies mandated for licensing and certification. This process will assure the public that the engineer is required knowledge and ability, and proved him or herself practice the minimum skills acquired to practice as chemical engineer. These professional qualifications have to be demonstrated by proper examination and/or other prior determined evidences from employer organizations. Therefore, the applicant for registration / certification as a chemical engineer is required to demonstrate an acceptable level of professional knowledge and ability.
Ethics and code of conduct
The Ethiopian Society of Chemical Engineers (ESChE) in collaboration with Joint Engineering and Architectural Professionals Association Secretariat (JEAPAS) is in the process of adopting standard codes of Ethics based on international experience to enable:
The fundamental principle of the ESChE code of ethics is that engineers uphold and advance integrity, honor and dignity of the engineering profession by:
Ethiopian Institute of Technology-Mekelle (EiT-M)
Department of Chemical Engineering
Using their knowledge and skill for the enhancement of industrial product quality, safety and the protection of environment.
Being honest and impartial and serving with fidelity the industry, public, their employers and customers.
Striving to increase the competence and prestige of the profession and Supporting the professional and technical societies of other disciplines.
Continuing Professional Development
Continuing professional development is a lifelong learning process that maintains, enhances or increases the knowledge and continuing ability of chemical engineers. It is essential that the professionals strive to maintain existing skills, broadening knowledge and exploring new areas. This is increasingly important to keep abreast with new technologies, methods of practice and changing social and environmental conditions. This is mainly the responsibility to be shared among the professional associations, higher learning institutions, industries and different stake holders.
Role of Professional Institutes of Chemical Engineers
The Ethiopian Society of Chemical Engineers (ESChE) is at its early stage and hence it is not yet strong enough to play a significant role in promoting the knowledge and practice of the chemical engineering profession for the benefit of the community. Thus, such institute should be strengthened so that it would be play pivotal role in advancement of Chemical
Engineering profession through:
Set chemical engineering standards
Promote continued professional development by facilitating training Extend chemical engineering knowledge
Formulate and regulate standards for licensing, certification and registration conduct research and disseminate research outcomes
