Talk on Glory of Chemical Engineering at Banasthali Orientation

For many universities in USA through Europe to Australia, such orientation function is as colorful as the graduating students convocation function and remains etched in the memories of the student throughout life. Indian Universities are catching up fast on the orientation with novel ideas.

It is a matter of pride that NITI Aayog had selected Banasthali along with ISB CCMB in Top 10 to host Atal Incubation Centre. Proud to be Banasthali alumni who call themselves as Banasthalites can be found in all latitudes, longitudes and altitudes in all walks of life across the globe. Banasthali has been in national and international media attention recently for getting the Four Star Ranking in Quacquarelli Symonds - QS Stars Rated for Excellence and Diamond status under QS i-Gauge Indian University Rating. Banasthali also has been ranked 2nd best university of India by The India Today-MDRA Best Universities Survey 2018.

Welcoming the chemical engineering students to the department on 11 July 2018, Prof BR Natarajan Head of Chemical Engineering anchored a slideshow and gave an overview of the Chemical Engineers who changed the world which included Johann Rudolph Glauber, Nicholas Leblanc, Charles Edward Howard & Norbert Rillieux, Henry Bessemer, Paul Héroult and Charles Hall, Carl von Linde and William Hampson, George E Davis, Fritz Haber & Carl Bosch, Kenneth Bingham Quinan, Leo Hendrik Baekeland, Arthur D Littlle, Thomas Midgley, Waldo Semon, Dermot Manning, Donald Campbell, Dudley Maurice Newitt, Magnus von Braun, Jasper Kane and John McKeen, Vladimir Haensel, Intel Andrew Grove (Intel), Francis Bacon, Trevor Kletz, Victor Mills, Lewis Urry, Csaba Horvath, Tomio Wada, Jay Bailey, Spencer Silver and Arthur Fry, Jack Welch (General Electric), Roberto Goizueta (Coca Cola), Yoshio Nishi (Sony), Nathaniel Wyeth, Xi Jinping President of People’s Republic of China.

There was a thunderous round of applause when it was pointed out that 11 July 2018 is UN World Population day and that Chemical Engineers who Changed the world included George Rosenkranz and colleagues who synthesized progesterone, later used in the contraceptive pill, which in turn has given women greater freedom to choose when they have children.

When it was highlighted that seven chemical engineers Linus Pauling, Fritz Haber, Carl Bosch, Mario Molina, Gialio Natta, Lars Onsager and Martin Lewis Perl are also Nobel laureates, the face of every chemical engineering student present was beaming with pride. Students were made aware of noteworthy features of the Chemical engineering curriculum at Banasthali which included the semester long Internship in the final year, subjects such as Object Oriented Programming, Data Structures and Entrepreneurship as an integral component of the academic curriculum.

The orientation also included top 10 Chemical companies and oil companies in India as well as world at large. The growth potential of the chemical industry in India including the salient features of Specialty Chemicals industry along with CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate) were shared with the students

The program ended with introduction of faculty team from the Department of Chemical Engineering who are also alumnus of top ranking institutions like IIT, BITS Pilani and NITs and group photograph. Proud to be Banasthalites who attended the orientation left with beaming faces and pride that they were indeed part of an institution which is a shining jewel in the crown among the institutions in India today.
