A Chemical Engineering masterclass was conducted for Grade 12 science students of GIIS Noida. The session was led by Dr. Yamini Sudha Sistla and Dr. Karan, distinguished academicians and alumni of the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur and the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi, respectively. The session aimed to introduce students to the field of Chemical Engineering and its growing relevance in today’s world.

The speakers highlighted how Chemical Engineering forms the backbone of several key industries, including energy, pharmaceuticals, food processing, and materials development. They emphasised that as global challenges continue to evolve—particularly in areas such as sustainability and resource management—the demand for skilled chemical engineers is set to grow significantly.

A major focus of the session was the role of Chemical Engineering in driving sustainability. Through insightful explanations, the speakers demonstrated how chemical engineers contribute to developing cleaner industrial processes, renewable energy solutions, and environmentally responsible materials, thereby playing a vital role in addressing climate and energy concerns.

What made the session especially engaging was the use of relatable, real-life examples to simplify complex concepts. This approach enabled students to connect their classroom learning with practical applications, making the subject more accessible and interesting.

The interactive nature of the masterclass encouraged active participation, with students showing keen interest in understanding the pathways to pursue this field and the skills required to succeed in it.

Overall, the session was highly informative and engaging, offering students a deeper understanding of Chemical Engineering, its diverse applications, and its significance in shaping a sustainable future.
