The world, as we see now would have been completely different, if not for engineering and technology. It has played an important part in making our daily lives convenient and comfortable. The mainstay of many industries, especially the manufacturing sector, it has helped in solving myriad problems by applying the principles of science. The Faculty of Technology (FoT) is an institution of higher learning in this important field of engineering and technology.
It would not be wrong to say that the FoT is the crown jewel of DDU. In fact, DDU primarily started as an engineering college (called DDIT) offering degree and diploma in Chemical Engineering in 1968. Since then, it has come a long way - adding other branches of engineering and postgraduate courses, becoming autonomous in 1990 and a deemed university in 2000, and subsequently turning into a University in 2005.
The various departments in the Faculty of Technology are:
The supporting departments in Faculty of Technology are: English & Mathematics
The faculty also includes allied facilities like Shah-Shulman Center for Surface Science and Nanotechnology, R & D Center, Environmental Audit Cell, Structural Design Center and Anchor Institute for Chemicals & Petrochemicals.
