Introduction
We are living in science of change where chemistry is an integral part of everything that teaches every material in existence is made up of matter. Chemistry is sometimes called “the central science”, it acts as a bridge between different areas of natural sciences. This field covers chemical forms, the interaction of these chemicals with each other, define our existence on universe. By studying the basic properties of substances and the many transformations they undergo, the chemist finds solutions to scientific challenges and contributes to the development of new technologies.
In modern industrial societies, chemistry is one of the foundations of the economy. Like other sciences, the advancements in chemistry have proven a blessing to the world, and have brought with them challenges to overcome. The stimulating career options opened by chemistry are wide-ranging and cover different aspects of the field etc. education sector, environment, industry, forensic, and pharmaceutical industry.
Mission
- To educate the students to investigate and solve the global environmental problems through the development of chemical education and research.
- To prepare competitive and professional undergraduates within an innovative, creative and, intellectually stimulating environment.
- To build proactive partnerships with industry and offer effective educational and technical services to the society.
Message from HoD
Shahida Rehman
NFC-IET launched the department of chemistry last year that assist in understanding the existence of life among students. The department of chemistry offers suggestive ways to utilize the conceptual knowledge in all areas of chemical forms through classes and laboratory experiments besides student's research projects in final semesters. We have qualified faculty with diversified established chemical laboratories and availability of research facilities for our learners.
Specialization
Department of Chemistry offers BS degree in Chemistry with specialization in the following four sub-areas.
- Organic Chemistry
- Inorganic Chemistry
- Analytical Chemistry
- Biochemistry
The first three years of BS program will be same for all students where they will be entertained with knowledge of all the disciplines of Chemistry. However, from the seventh semester, students will take courses in specialized areas of chemistry in accordance with their choice. In eighth semester, students need to complete a research project related to his/her specialized areas of chemistry that helps to enhance the knowledge and to have a proper understanding of the subject.
Laboratories & Facilities
Laboratories
Laboratory experience is an essential part of the educational process and a key factor to prepare students for real chemist’s practical life. Hence, Department of Chemistry have laboratories, which are under establishing phase having necessary instruments and tools in the different chemistry areas like organic, inorganic, analytical, environmental and biochemistry that provides hands-on practice for students. These labs have secure environment for experimentation and research having a privilege enjoyed by our students. These laboratories provide a platform to the students to understand the basic necessities and practical concepts of chemistry, that helps the students in designing and purification techniques which addresses the needs of industries and improves research capabilities.
The following is the list of laboratories of Department of chemistry.
- Inorganic and Organic chemistry Lab
- Analytical and Physical chemistry Lab
- Biochemistry Lab
- Environmental Lab
Facilities
Facilities The Chemistry department is a purpose-built building that offers ample space for laboratories, training rooms, spacious classrooms, meeting and discussion rooms, video conference rooms, and faculty offices. Facilities in the labs are for better learning and to prepare them to fulfill future job requirements. The following facilities are available in our lab:
- Air-conditioned classrooms
- Access of Free Wifi
- Highly Equipped computers for specialized applications
- Research clusters
