Ladies and gentlemen, Chemical engineering holds a unique position at the interface between molecular sciences and engineering. Closely linked with the fundamental subjects of chemistry, biology, mathematics, and physics along with engineering disciplines like materials science, computer science, mechanical, electrical, and civil engineering, chemical engineering bids unparalleled opportunities to do great things. Chemical engineering is a discipline that influences many areas of technology. In broad terms, chemical engineers are responsible for the conception and design of processes for the purpose of production, transformation and transportation of materials. In addition to excellent opportunities for higher studies in world renowned universities, chemical engineers have a bright future with national and multinational industries such as oil and gas, process and fertilizer industries to name just a few. An important aim of the undergraduate program is the development of expertise in thermodynamics, chemical reaction kinetics, fundamentals of heat and mass transfer, process technologies and principles in fluid mechanics, along with a mandatory final year project to strengthen the understanding of the principles taught therein. The chemical engineering department has been successfully running its masters leading to PhD program in the field of energetic materials engineering. We have started a Masters leading to PhD program in chemical engineering this fall. Materials engineering is an interdisciplinary field that applies fundamental knowledge of the structure and properties of matter for the development of new materials that can be used in everyday life or for the most advanced technologies. Materials engineers find efficient ways to separate minerals extracted from mines transforming them into useful materials. Students learn how to control the properties of materials through various industrial manufacturing processes, select the optimum material and predict its behavior

under various environmental and service conditions, along with altering this behaviour through materials design, research, and development. Materials engineering involves the development, production, modification, and application of engineering materials to meet the specific needs of industry and the society. Material engineers have scope in major industries including aerospace, oil & gas, automotive, metal casting, biomedical and the microelectronics industry. Recently SCME has launched its Masters programs in Nano-Science and engineering along with the pre-existing course of masters leading to phd in materials and surface engineering.

Procedure of the Ceremony:


Ladies and gentlemen, Let me brief you about the procedure of the convocation ceremony. The graduating students of chemical and materials engineering, Rector NUST, the HODs, the Principal, and Faculty of SCME accompanied by the honorable chief guest will enter the convocation venue in the form of a procession. Our chief guest for the ceremony is honorable ---------------At the conclusion of the occasion the procession will leave the venue to have a photograph with the graduating students. Ladies and gentlemen, You are called upon to observe the following. You are requested to rise when the announcement is made to indicate the entrance of procession and remain standing till the national anthem is being played. You are requested to resume your seats as soon as the national anthem is over and the procession is seated.

You are then requested to rise again and remain standing when the procession is leaving the venue. Cameras and cellphones are not allowed. Smoking is strictly prohibited in the premises as NUST is a smoke-free campus.

The batch of 2013 has been a diverse one in its nature, there have been students that have represented NUST and SCME on major national and international forums and have brought laurels to their institution. Haseeb Aslam form chemical engineering department has been the torch bearer of sports in SCME. From captaining the NUST Football team to winning numerous tournaments with SCME, he and Syed Haider Ali Naqvi were the ones who organized the 2nd SCME Sports Gala. From sports to academics, our very own Ayesha Khalid from materials engineering and Maha yusuf from Chemical engineering department were selected for an exchange program under the US department of state. A number of graduates are currently working in many top class organizations such as Engro corporation, Fauji Fertilizer and Fatima Fertilizer to name a few. All in all the second batch of SCME was talented in its own way and has some memories of its own.
