1. INTRODUCTION

1.1. BACKGROUND OF THE DEPARTMENT

Chemical engineering is the branch of engineering that deals with physical and life sciences with
mathematics and economics, to the process of converting raw materials or chemicals into more
useful or valuable forms.
The chemical engineering profession is youngest science based engineering profession. In
Ethiopia, it has age not more than 20 years; and the program was offered only in two universities
(BDU and AAU). Now, more than 20 universities have already launched the program. And this
is because of the plan of the government of the federal republic of Ethiopia to establish industry
based economy which demands large number of chemical engineering graduates.

Therefore, it is clear that at present the country expands and gives ambitions to industry
developments but lacks technical professionals. Generally there are no enough professionals of
chemical engineers in different sectors of industry which the government has given priority such
as sugar industries, textiles, garments, leather, cement, food processing and in general
process/chemical industries (Growth and Transformation Plan Policy Matrix, Volume II,
November 2010, Page 9-11); considered as the critical infrastructure for the country to change
the living standards of the people.

1.2. VISION

To see the best and most motivated graduates that serve the nation and the world specially focusing on the
utilization of locally available raw materials, exploring potential local research areas, exploiting potential
resources, environmental protection and rehabilitation, to earn prestigious awards and recognitions.

Woldia University, Faculty of Technology, Chemical Engineering Department Curriculum 1

 1.3. MISSION

To deliver quality education through practical teaching and dedicated staff which enable to
produce qualified chemical engineering graduates who give paramount contributions in solving
problems they face in industry and other sectors, and who are also ethically strong.

To assist the attainment of technology transformation and development goal set nationally
through well trained chemical engineers by implementing the industry based education of target
industries.

1.4. HISTORY OF THE DEPARTMENT

Chemical Engineering Department at Woldia University was established in January, 2017, with
the objective of responding to the need for rapid industrialization and the changing societal needs
of the country for sustainable development. The department believes in cultivating the full
potential of students, and the advancement of all forms of knowledge keeping in pace with
international standards of academic quality, including the high skilled employment needs
presented by a growing economy operating in global environment.
The department started with 3 full-time department members, 1 Lecturer (M.Sc. degree in
Chemical Engineering) and 2 Assistant Lecturers (B.Sc. degree in Chemical Engineering), and it
has 62 regular students. As part of this reform, the department has developed a plan to increase
the number of staff and their levels, and students.

Woldia University, Faculty of Technology, Chemical Engineering Department Curriculum 2

2. OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY PROGRAM

2.1. GENERAL OBJECTIVE

3. RATIONALE FOR THE HARMONIZED CHEMICAL
ENGINEERING CURRICULUM

The harmonized chemical engineering curriculum will improve the mobility of students among
universities. In addition to this, the universities will also have a better curriculum to be
implemented as most of them are launching the program for the first time.
Chemical engineering is the profession that is needed for the conception, creation (design),
operation, control, optimization, and improvement of the process industries. Examples of
products that are the results of the works of chemical engineers include various chemicals,
petrochemicals, plastics, pharmaceuticals and other medicines, agrochemicals, processed foods,
energy (fuels, nuclear energy, others), pulp and paper, beverages, cement, ceramics, and many
others. It is the chemical engineer who is responsible for conceiving (product, process, and
equipment), designing, operating, controlling, optimizing, and improving (modifying and
modernizing) the industries that produce the aforementioned products and myriads of others.
The profession of chemical engineering is unique among the engineering professions because of
the fact that while all engineers (chemicals engineers included) use and manipulate mathematics,
physics, and engineering art to solve technical problems in a safe and economical fashion, it is
only the chemical engineer that uses the vast and powerful sciences of chemistry and nowadays
biology in order to come up with a wide range of products for the common good of mankind.
This actually makes the chemical engineer’s scope much broader than others.

Currently in Ethiopia the practice of chemical engineering is at a very rudimentary stage.

Many vital problems of the country can be solved by cultivating such professions. Chemical
engineering can play significant role to alleviate poverty and food shortage, as well as prevention
of environmental deterioration from traditional practice. It is undeniable that a large capacity,
safe and economical production of quality outputs is a solution to the mainly agrarian community
and weak economy of the country. Industries with such production efficiency can be in many
small scales or large scales. At present, the number of such industries in the country is way
below the required. Therefore, much effort needs to be done so as to boost the numbers. Hence,

Woldia University, Faculty of Technology, Chemical Engineering Department Curriculum 4

in materializing the ambition of industrial development, chemical engineering and chemical
engineers can contribute to a great extent.
The world of chemical engineering is continually evolving. Consequently fresh chemical
engineering graduates are required to assimilate rapidly to new and emerging technologies, in
addition to the existing extensive scope of this field.
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 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/chemical industries (Growth and Transformation Plan Policy Matrix, Volume II,
November 2010, Page 9-11); considered as the critical infrastructure for the country to change
the living standards of the people.

4. P R O F E S S I O N A L P R O F I L E

It is true that development is closely related to and comes only with the existence of profitable
and healthy industries that produce diverse products. Chemical engineering is the profession that
is needed for the conception, creation (design), operation, control, optimization, and
improvement of the process industries. Examples of products that are the results of the works of
chemical engineers include various chemicals, petrochemicals, plastics, pharmaceuticals and
other medicines, agrochemicals, processed foods, energy (fuels, nuclear energy, others), pulp and
paper, beverages, cement, ceramics, and many others. It is the chemical engineer who is
responsible for conceiving (product, process, and equipment), designing, operating, controlling,
optimizing, and improving (modifying and modernizing) the industries that produce the
aforementioned products and myriads of others.

The profession of chemical engineering is unique among the engineering professions because of
the fact that while all engineers (chemicals engineers included) use and manipulate mathematics,
physics, and engineering art to solve technical problems in a safe and economical fashion, it is
only the chemical engineer that uses the vast and powerful sciences of chemistry and nowadays
biology in order to come up with a wide range of products for the common good of mankind.
This actually makes the chemical engineer’s scope much broader than others.

The chemical engineering profession is youngest science based engineering profession. In

Ethiopia, it has age not more than 20 years.

A review of current standards of professionalism and other literature suggests that there is no
hard and fast definition for defining a profession. However, some traits are taken to define the
profession,

 Chemical Engineering is a branch of engineering which is concerned with the processes and
plant in which chemical, bio-chemical or physical changes are principle features. Profession
requires knowledge of fundamental science and a special knowledge and experience of those
processes which are carried out on a large scale in the manufacture of chemical, bio-chemical
and technical products. The professional also must possess knowledge of industrial
economics and factory management because these processes cannot be carried out unless a
commercial profit is obtained. This knowledge is usually acquired through higher education.
Woldia University, Faculty of Technology, Chemical Engineering Department Curriculum 6
 Professionals usually have a professional organization, recognized by state government that
controls admission to the entry to the profession and training as well set standards for
practice.
 A profession strives to add to and improve its body of knowledge through research.

In general, chemical engineering addresses operation and management of existing or proposed

processes with a view to building up a successful manufacturing industry. The strong scientific,
mathematical and technical background found in chemical engineering education is allowing the
profession to enter new fields. The largest growth is occurring in upcoming fields which show
tremendous potential. Biotechnology, electrochemical engineering, food processing,
pharmaceuticals, environmental clean-up and biomedical implants all offer possibilities for
chemical engineering professionals as plant managers, process design engineers, research
engineers, consultants, sales engineers, etc.

Around the world, Chemical engineers are involved in all kinds of industries namely food and
drink, pharmaceuticals, energy, oil and gas, water, chemicals, materials such as plastics, metals
and ceramics and products such as toiletries, fertilizers and detergents. Chemical engineers are
also involved in assessing health, safety and environmental issues, manufacture of life-saving
vaccines and managing projects for the treatment of wastewater. Chemical engineers use
information technology extensively for process development, design and to solve industrial
problems using sophisticated computer aided design software’s to simulate the process and to
know what will happen during the process and to solve the problems to be encountered during
the process. The following are the core services of chemical engineers:

 Conduct economic and technical feasibility studies in areas related to chemical,

biochemical, petroleum, pulp and paper, food, pharmaceutical or other processing
industries.
 Oversee the construction, modification, operation and maintenance of pilot plants,
processing units or processing plants.

6.6. GRADING SYSTEM

The grading system is as per the nationally harmonized academic policy.

1. On a module/course with practical and/or tutorial, a student should score at least 50% on each
to pass that course. A student with Fx shall take supplementary exam within two weeks after
the beginning of the semester; whereas those who scored ‘F’ grade should repeat that course.
2. The final grade is obtained based on the sum of continuous assessment and summative
assessment (final exam) while the weight of the continuous assessment should not be less than
50%.Semester Average Number Grade (SANG/SGPA) is determined by dividing grade points
earned in semester by the number of credit points in that semester.
3.The final number grade of a module is obtained based on the sum of the number grades of
independent courses with its weight given for each course in that module.
4. In cases where a student does not have full examination records, the instructor shall record
“NG” for No Grade. All “NG”s shall be changed to one of the following.
a) To an “I” (incomplete) by the SC/DC/AC in consultation with the instructor concerned for
a student who, because of illness or extenuating or extraordinary circumstances, fails to
complete the module/course. When there is no valid reason, the “I” grade will be changed
to”F” within two weeks after the beginning of the semester.
OR

Woldia University, Faculty of Technology, Chemical Engineering Department Curriculum 13

 b) To a “W” (withdrawn) by the Registrar for a student who has formally withdrawn from the
program within eight weeks (50% of the semester duration) after the beginning of the
semester.
OR
c) To a “DO” (dropout) by the Registrar for a student who has not withdrawn from a program
in accordance with the withdrawal procedures set forth by the University and the time limit
specified in the provisions of sub-article 7a of Nationally Harmonized Academic Policy
hereof or has not produced evidence justifying a failure to sit for the exam(s).
5.“W”, “DO” and “I” shall not play any part in the computation of the semester grade point
average.
6. A student who obtains a “DO” for a course or courses shall be required to justify the reasons
why he/she failed to comply with the withdrawal procedures set forth by the University to the
appropriate SC/DC within six weeks after the commencement of the subsequent semester.
Failure to do so shall result in an automatic “F” grade.
7. If a student repeats a course, the initial credit hour and grade shall appear on the transcript, but
be ignored in calculating the semester grade point average (SGPA/SANG) whether or not there
is a change in the grade i.e. only, the new grade and credit hour will be considered in
determining the status.
8. All required non-credit work shall be recorded with a grade of “P” (Pass) and “F” (Failure),
but neither shall be included in the computation of the SGPA/SANG.
9. A double asterisk (**) shall be entered in place of a letter grade in those rare cases where a
course is in progress and no work has been completed to give the instructor a basis for giving a
grade.

Description of the Grading System

1. A student who scored ‘C-‘ and/or “D” in a course/s can pass to the next semester if he or she
has pass mark in Cumulative Average Number Grade (CANG).
2. If the ‘C-‘ and/or “D” grade is for a Module or for a course as a module, he/she must resit for
another exam with self-study to remove ‘C-‘ and/or “D” when module status determination is
required.
3. A student with a good stand can pass to the next semester and even can graduate if he/she
scores “D” and or “C-” in any course under module. Nevertheless, if the student is not in
good standing, he or she should re-sit an exam within two weeks after the beginning of the
semester with self-study.
4. A student who scored “Fx” must sit re-exam with minor support within two weeks’ time after
the beginning of the next semester. If a student scores “Fx” for the second time, the grade
shall be converted into “F” for status determination.
Woldia University, Faculty of Technology, Chemical Engineering Department Curriculum 15
5. A student who scored “F” in a course/module must repeat the course/module for a maximum
of two-time. After that, if s/he repeats F grade, the student can request for course
change/replacement or waiver as course allergic.
6. The final grade of any repeated course shall be maintained regardless of the initial one.

6.7. TEACHING, LEARNING AND ASSESSMENT

METHODS

The assessment and evaluation shall compromise continuous assessment accounting for a minimum
of 50% and final exam accounting for a maximum of 50%. However, the nature of some courses may
encourage 100% continuous assessment and such cases are explained in the respective module and
course. The continuous assessment requires a minimum of 5 assessment activities.

But the delivery system and assessment modalities that can be used in evaluation and assessment are
described as follows:

Lectures

Lectures shall be conducted in the way of that students interact with teachers with the help of
LCD projectors. The students are expected to attend class regularly. Students are also
expected to take their own notes and have with them a calculator as well as other supporting
materials which are needed for the course. A question-answer session and provocative class
exercises in between and/or end of each lecture is recommended. Students’ participation in
the classroom activities must be duly recorded by the teacher in the form of attendance,
ability to express his/her idea on the question raised in the class, and in the form of the
progress made by the students in solving problems.

Homework Exercises/Assignments

At end of a chapter or a sub-chapter, exercises and problems shall be prepared and given to
the students for which the students are expected to prepare solutions based on previous
chapters or sub-chapters they have learned and submit it to instructor or tutor.

Woldia University, Faculty of Technology, Chemical Engineering Department Curriculum 16

 Tutorials

A tutor assigned for the course shall help the students by giving hints to do or solve the
homework exercises/problems, correct their solution and give them possible solutions for the
exercises.

Laboratory Practice

Some courses shall be supported by laboratory demonstration and/or exercise so that students
will have better grasp of the theoretical and practical aspect of the course.

Educational Visits

Educational visit shall be arranged to industries in relation given to some courses so that the
student may see area of application of the subject matter of the courses. The students are also
expected to present what they observed. The visit shall be arranged by the department.

Project Work:

It gives opportunities to students to explore by themselves information, design, experiment

and generated and use for design and other intended purpose. It helps the students to integrate
their theoretical and practical skills to produce information and produce products. And the
evaluation will be taken by progressive presentations.

Examination

The students will be supported and evaluated by continuous assessment throughout the
semester and end term exams towards the end of each semester for each course. At the end of
the 6th semester, they will be given a holistic exam that tests their competence on basic
knowledge and ability to integrate.

Holistic Examination
This assessment will enable students to applying the knowledge and skills gained from previous
courses for the internship program.

The Holistic Exam is intended to proof the students’ capability to interlink special knowledge
and skills obtained through theoretical (classroom courses) and practical (workshop, laboratory

Woldia University, Faculty of Technology, Chemical Engineering Department Curriculum 17

& computer exercises) education in individual study program modules over the first 3 years of
studies.

The holistic exam thus forces the students’ to:

 carefully review the study program subjects of the first six study semesters
 understand the relevance of phenomena and design principles learned in individual study
program modules on complex engineering projects
 apply knowledge and skills obtained in individual major courses on real world type problems
and projects

Assessment of Holistic Exam

It includes all the core module courses and the examination will be out of 100%.

The student who fail for the first time, will repeat the exam in 15 day, if he can’t pass the exam
again, he will allowed to come and take the exam in the coming year, if he can’t pass for the last
time he will be academically dismissed.

Industrial Internship
During industrial internship, students will have a chance to work on practical industrial
problems full time for six months. Besides having the required exposure, he/she will have an
overview of the industrial environment in Ethiopia and the existing state of affairs, the scope
for further improvement and the underlying bottlenecks retarding the growth. This real
world experience will help the student to link theoretical concepts and implementation
technicalities with actual practice and to have a vision of the range of skills, discipline and
ethics as demanded by the industrial setup. It integrates both training and performance
evaluation as part of the program requirements. This internship allows students to gain
valuable insight through on-the-job training.

BSc. Thesis

The B.Sc thesis is the final element of the study program. Each student will work on an
individual thesis topic under the supervision of faculty advisor or/and professional advisor
from the industry. The B.Sc. thesis will help the student to integrate what he has learned in

Woldia University, Faculty of Technology, Chemical Engineering Department Curriculum 18

five years to solve a real world problem while bringing in his creative abilities and problem
solving skills. Besides solving a particular problem, the student will acquire skills in
general problem solving methodology using data collection and protocol development via
References survey, research tools and interpretation techniques. The experience will also
enhance the skill of graduates in report writing, and documentation and presentation.

6.8. QUALITY ASSURANCE MECHANISM

Continuous and progressive monitoring of the teaching-learning process is crucial to the

achievement of the objective sets for every semester. The following approach is used to do
preliminary follow-up:

 Prepare course description with details such as course outline, textbooks, references, project
or laboratory tasks etc to maintain quality and continuity of course offering depth.
 Student evaluation and recommendation is weighed, as per the national academic policy, and
feedbacks are assessed to improve the instruction quality.
 Examinations will be reviewed by the Departmental Examination Committee/module team to
reassure the standard.
 Strong Industry-University linkage, feedback from stakeholders and industry fellows will be
used as a guideline for competitiveness of graduates
 Students retention and graduation rates
 Number of publications and patents produced by staff and students.
 Quality and quantity of resources
 The department shall update anything that will help improve the quality of education process
and shall make any amendments that ensure quality of education

6.9. THE EUROPEAN CREDIT TRANSFER SYSTEM (ECTS)

The conventional credit system used in higher education systems is mainly based on student
contact hours in class and laboratory sessions. A new system of credit system is introduced that
takes the extra hours a student spends for the course in addition to lectures, tutorials, and
laboratory practical. In ECTS credits are values, allocated to course units, to describe the student

Woldia University, Faculty of Technology, Chemical Engineering Department Curriculum 19

workload required to complete a course including attending lectures, seminars, independent and
private study, preparation of projects and examinations. In this revised curriculum, the ECTS
equivalent of the old credit system has been estimated and shown for each course in the course
breakdown.
In ECTS, one credit stands for 25-30 hours of work activity. A semester study within this system
is set at 30ECTS points (750-900 hours).

7. MODULES (CLUSTERED COURSES)

1. Module Category is divided into three parts: core, elective and general. Symbolic numbers
are given for each part as follows.
Core = 1- Chemical Engineering courses offered by the department staffs and are the most
critical ones.
Elective = 2 – these are elective course students could take to concentrate on a specific area
of application.
General = 3 – these are general engineering discipline, humanity and communication courses
which help chemical engineers to have a common understanding and view towards
technology and society.
2. Module numbering and coding
Modules are numbered using 2 digits, e.g. 01, 02, 03 etc.
Module code ChEg-M2071 signifies:

ChEg Represents home base (Department of Chemical Engineering )

M Represents module
2 Represents the level of students in years i.e. 2nd year
07 Represents module number
1 Represents the module Category (Core =1)

3. Course numbering and coding
