Dr. Mohammad Forhad Hossain, Head, Dept. of DCE
Welcome to the Department of Dyes and Chemical Engineering (DCE), Bangladesh University of Textiles (BUTEX).
The mission of the undergraduate program is to develop students’ understanding of the core scientific, mathematical, and engineering principles that form the foundation underlying these processes. The curriculum focuses on fibre-forming polymers, textile chemistry and chemical analysis, and the synthesis of dyes and chemicals. The department also focuses on applying chemicals and colourants in various textile processing such as pretreatment, dyeing, printing, finishing, and pollution control. The target is to create the academic, technical and business leaders for today and tomorrow who will employ the skills sets of industrial processes and scientific advances.
We aspire to create a unique multidisciplinary research environment where collaboration is the key; within the departments, faculties, and industries. The strength of DCE is its people, and we strongly welcome the very best staff, students and researchers from around the country and world to become part of our mission. We encourage exceptional and highly motivated students to consider our range of engaging and stimulating research opportunities to benefit our country and society. The department reflects the vision and commitment of BUTEX in engaging research activities and collaboration with the industry.
Currently, the textile industry is at a critical junction – trying to add more value and localise the input. The chemical industry, with a market of almost $1 billion USD, is mostly input dependent apart from some basic chemicals. It is foreseen that the local chemical industry for textile applications will flourish to reduce the cost and lead time.
We believe a combination of Textile and chemical engineering is the key to making a better tomorrow and Bangladesh.

Dr. Mohammad Forhad Hossain, Head, Dept. of DCE
Welcome to the Department of Dyes and Chemical Engineering (DCE), Bangladesh University of Textiles (BUTEX).
The mission of the undergraduate program is to develop students’ understanding of the core scientific, mathematical, and engineering principles that form the foundation underlying these processes. The curriculum focuses on fibre-forming polymers, textile chemistry and chemical analysis, and the synthesis of dyes and chemicals. The department also focuses on applying chemicals and colourants in various textile processing such as pretreatment, dyeing, printing, finishing, and pollution control. The target is to create the academic, technical and business leaders for today and tomorrow who will employ the skills sets of industrial processes and scientific advances.
We aspire to create a unique multidisciplinary research environment where collaboration is the key; within the departments, faculties, and industries. The strength of DCE is its people, and we strongly welcome the very best staff, students and researchers from around the country and world to become part of our mission. We encourage exceptional and highly motivated students to consider our range of engaging and stimulating research opportunities to benefit our country and society. The department reflects the vision and commitment of BUTEX in engaging research activities and collaboration with the industry.
Currently, the textile industry is at a critical junction – trying to add more value and localise the input. The chemical industry, with a market of almost $1 billion USD, is mostly input dependent apart from some basic chemicals. It is foreseen that the local chemical industry for textile applications will flourish to reduce the cost and lead time.
We believe a combination of Textile and chemical engineering is the key to making a better tomorrow and Bangladesh.
