Materials in Chemical Engineering focuses on the characterization, synthesis, and development of new materials with superior properties and broad applications. The group addresses the development of materials with properties such as strength, stiffness, ductility, resistance to corrosion, high temperatures, and more, as well as the application of such materials in industries such as catalysts, sensors, fuels, and more. Materials characterization is a key aspect of this group. Students learn various characterization methods to understand the structure, mechanical properties, and thermal capabilities of materials. This is important to ensure the material has the desired characteristics and meets safety and quality standards. Materials synthesis is a key focus, where students understand and practice techniques to create new materials or modify existing materials to meet specific requirements. This approach supports the innovation and development of more efficient and customized materials. The application of materials in industry is an important part of the learning. Students understand where and how materials can be used optimally, maximizing system efficiency and performance. This includes applications in energy, transportation, electronics, and more. Sustainability aspects are also emphasized. Students are taught to consider environmental impacts and ensure materials developed are environmentally friendly, recyclable, and have a low carbon footprint. An understanding of regulations and material safety is also prioritized. Students must understand and comply with applicable regulations to ensure the use of materials that are safe and in accordance with industry and environmental guidelines.

Natural Resources in Chemical Engineering focuses on the technological development and management of natural resources such as petroleum, natural gas, minerals, and biomass. The group addresses the extraction, refining, and processing of natural resources with the aim of producing quality and environmentally friendly products. Studies in this group combine chemical science principles with engineering expertise to design and optimize natural resource production processes. Students study technologies related to oil and gas extraction, mineral separation and refining, and biomass utilization for energy and chemical products. They also understand sustainability concepts and efforts to reduce the environmental impact of extraction and processing activities. Sustainability is a key aspect emphasized in natural resource management. Students are taught to develop strategies that prioritize efficiency, reuse, and recycling of natural resources, thus supporting a sustainable approach in industry. In addition, research to develop alternative technologies that can replace limited natural resources is also a focus, reducing dependence on increasingly scarce resources.

Agroindustry in Chemical Engineering focuses on developing technologies to convert agricultural raw materials into high-value-added products, such as food, biofuels, pharmaceutical products, and so on. This group addresses the processing of agricultural raw materials from inception to finished products, including equipment design, processing, and refining. Studies in this group integrate chemistry, engineering, and agricultural science to create technologies that maximize the utilization of agricultural products. Students learn the principles of chemistry underlying the transformation of agricultural raw materials, understanding reaction and separation processes to produce products with optimal quality. Commitment to sustainability is one of the main focuses in agro-industry development. Students are taught to find environmentally friendly solutions, such as the use of renewable energy, waste reduction, and organic waste management. Optimizing the use of raw materials is also an important aspect, ensuring that nothing is wasted and promoting resource efficiency. In addition, food safety and product quality are also major concerns in this scientific group. Students understand the regulations and standards that apply in the agro-industrial industry to ensure the products produced are safe and meet the set quality standards.
