Department of Chemical Science & Technology (DCST)

Department of Chemical Science & Technology (DCST) DEPARTMENT OFCHEMICAL SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY (DCST). We teach them to design, build, evaluate, and improve complex chemical, biological, and material systems.

At DCST, we give our students the tools in Applied Chemistry and Chemical Technology to deliver quality services and make quality products that meet the ever changing human needs. The Department of Chemical Science and Technology (DCST) is one of the departments under the School of Physical and Applied Sciences (SPAS) at the Kenya Polytechnic University College (KPUC). The Chairman of the Departme

nt coordinates the activities of the Department, which offers Bachelors, Diploma and Higher Diploma courses in Applied Chemistry and Chemical Technology. Our Chemical Technologists and Chemistry graduates leave with the knowledge to apply chemical and biological principles to benefit humanity, protect the environment, and build the future. Career Opportunities: Careers in chemical Technology are more rewarding today than ever. Technologists are in high demand for bringing valuable skills to the development of new products, processing methods and materials. Chemical technologists work in every aspect of the chemical process industry from basic research to hazardous waste management. Research and development technologists work in experimental laboratories and process control technologists work in manufacturing or other industrial plants. Technologists operate many kinds of equipment and instrumentation, set-up apparatus for chemical reactions, prepare compounds, monitor commercial production, test for product quality, and collect and analyze samples produced through organic synthesis. Technologists also work in data management, quality assurance and shipping to provide technical support and expertise for these functions. Consequently, chemical technologists from Kenya Polytechnic University College are employed in government research institutions, universities; pharmaceutical and manufacturing companies, oil companies. However, the largest number of our chemical technologist get employment in industries such as polymer, biotechnology, consumer products, paint, soap, fragrance with well defined career ladders.

A message from Dr. Simon Whitby at the University of Bradford regarding opportunities in Dual Use Biosecurity Education

Dual Use Biosecurity Education Online (University of Bradford, UK).
If you would like to apply for a bursary for our 30 Credit Masters Course in Applied Dual-Use Biosecurity Education Online, please write to me Dr. Simon Whitby by return and your name and affiliation will be submitted to the selection process list. The course will start January 2013. The approximate length of time you will spend online for attending live and interactive lectures and seminars broadcast from the UK will be approximately 3 hours per week. The mode of assessment is one reflective assignment of 3-4000 words and one online group work presentation. Once participants have been selected by the funder you will be required to undergo a connectivity test to ensure that you can fully and meaningfully participate in and contribute to this course.

The course has been running for the last 2.5 years and the funder, the US Department of State, Biosecurity Engagement Program, has thus far financed approximately x75 bursaries. In this round of funding the funder is providing funds for x15 in Semester 2 (January 2013 to June 2013. For more information please see the URL below:
