The Current and Future Implementation of Safety Curriculum For Chemical Engineers in GCC Countries

Abstract

The safety topic became a global issue which is demanded for engineering colleges. It was evaluated and proposed to be a core issue for chemical engineering curriculums. The challenge has been attempting to develop proper academic curriculum or concentrate on the occupational applications. This paper highlights the actual curriculum that is being taught in regards to loss prevention and safety for chemical engineers. The issue went further in this study to suggest the needs for safety curriculum for chemical engineering in GCC countries that comprises five countries in Arabian Gulf countries (Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Kuwait, United Arab Emirates, Qatar, and,  Oman). Those countries had moved forward to promote their national economy towards industrialization.
