A Message to the Students of the Department Head


Artashes Tadevossyan
Ph.D., Assoc. Prof.


 
 
 
A number of chemical enterprises were founded in Armenia in late 20's of the last century. Among them such giants as Yerevan Chloroprene production plant, and Vanadsor Chemical Plant were commissioned and operated.

Some time later  "Polyvinyl Acetate", "Chemical Reactive", "Rubber products", "Tyre", etc. started to work: plants that badly were in need of highly qualified and well-educated specialists. Several research and design institutes begun to function to meet the country demand: (i) Institute of General and Inorganic Chemistry, (ii) Organic Chemistry, (iii) Chemical Physics, (iv) Fine-organic Chemistry, (v) Institute of Polymer Glues, (vi) Institute of Polymers, etc.

 Faculty of Chemical Engineering was founded at Yerevan State University as a first basic higher educational establishment for training/preparing chemists. Later, on the basis of this Faculty, Chemical department  of the Yerevan Polytechnic Institute (later re-named State Engineering University of Armenia) established forging engineers and  researchers for many fields of practical and theoretical chemical science and engineering.
For the last 80 years, in several science branches, Armenian chemists of our graduate have their big say with recognized worldwide reputation.

Awareness rising in chemical manufacture, recyclable technologies, sustainable development are the pressing issues and developments of today's chemical industry which unavoidably were reflected in our departmental curriculum and majors to meet the modern educational challenges.
Upon joining the Department of Chemical and Environmental Engineering the students can acquire deep knowledge in many chemical disciplines (manufacture of organic, silicate, biologically active materials, electrochemical productions, bioengineering), as well as environmental engineering shaping to-days major trends.

The Department collaborates with leading science, research and design institutes where you could gain your practice and enhance knowledge during joint work commencing with 3rd year of your study.
Also, jointly with Career Centre of our University we seek chances for our graduates to commence their work career.
