Mission

Department of Polymer Engineering is committed to provide qualified engineers to polymer sector equipped with the best possible theoretical and practical knowledge of basic sciences, social sciences and engineering concepts to fulfill the needs of society and the profession.

Introduction
The Department of Polyme Engineering is relatively new department which has established at National Textile University in 2007. It occupies a distinguished position in the university. The foremost purpose of establishing this department is to provide trained man power to polymer sector in the country. The department offers a foure year degree program through a range of courses covering all areas of polymeric materials.
The curriculum is designed vigilantly by keeping in view the current and future needs of the industry and is fully flexible to be modified to keep pace with the rapidly changing production technologies. The major focus is on developing concepts and skills of students through class room learning, laboratory work, internship and industrial tours.
Department of Polymer Engineering has established industrial linkages which enables the students to grab latest trends in the industry. Moreover, department is also involved in graduate programs at the university and actively participate in Research & Development.

Undergraduate Program

B.Sc. in Polymer Engineering
Polymer Engineering is a highly dynamic and interdisciplinary field. The 4 years degree in polymer engineering carries great career prospects for the graduates, in polymer and related industries, as polymers are of increasing importance in many aspects of our lives.
Some uses of polymers are:

• Fibres & Textiles
• Rubbers
• Engineering Materials
• Composites
• Packaging Materials
• Coatings & Paints
• Pharmaceuticals
• Medical implants
• Adhesives and sealants
• Aerospace & defence industry

and many more

Program Objectives

The objectives of B.Sc. Polymer Engineering Program are to equip students with:

• The ability to apply the basic mathematical, scientific and engineering principles needed for solving problems in operation, evaluation and design of Polymer processes.
• The skills related to experimentation, teamwork, open-ended problem solving, critical thinking and life-long learning.
• The communication skills, awareness of professional ethics and safety practices.
• Understanding of environmental, social, and economic aspects of the profession.

Program Outcomes

Program outcomes of B.Sc. Polymer Engineering program are;

• Ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering to solve engineering problems.
• Ability to design and conduct experiments to synthesize and characterize different polymers and their analysis and interpretation of data.
•  Ability to evaluate and design polymer processes to meet the desired needs.
•  Ability to function on multi-disciplinary areas.
• Ability to communicate effectively with written, oral, and visual means and understanding of professional and ethical responsibility.
•  The broad knowledge necessary to understand the impact of polymer engineering solutions in the global & social context.
•  Recognition of the needs of society, and an ability to engage in life-long learning.
• Ability to use modern engineering techniques, skills, and computing tools necessary for polymer engineering practices.

Admission Criteria
The applicants must have one of the following qualifications with overall score of at least 60% excluding NCC marks:
a. F.Sc.  (Pre-Engineering)         b. B.Sc. (Physics & Math)
c. Three A-Levels (with Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics) and seven O-Levels


Admissions are made on the basis of following weightage formula:
Candidate’s score in the NTS Entry test (NAT-IE) (50% weightage) + Marks in F.Sc. (40% weightage) and Marks in Metric (10% weightage). At least 55% aggregate score is required to apply for B.Sc. Polymer Engineering Programs.
