Plastic Engineering

Overview

About this Degree

The Department at the Institute of Chemical Technology has produced distinguished alumni who occupy key positions of research, development, design, production and consultants in major plastic industries. Some of our Plastic Engineering alumni have completed their doctoral degrees and handling R&D departments of the industries successfully. 

Few of them have become a successful entrepreneurs. Presently few industry-sponsored candidates sponsored by industries like Dow, TVS motors, BASF are doing M E and Ph.D. in our department.  The department has laboratory facilities such as Engineering Workshop, Electrical and Electronics, Structural Mechanics, Drawing halls catering to the needs of undergraduate and postgraduate students of the Institute.  Plastic processing and testing laboratory, CAD/ CAM & CAE facilities with various mold analysis and design software.
