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.

Along with these centres, students are also given the opportunity to work in internationally reputed research organisations like BISAG and IPR at Gandhinagar, SAC-ISRO at Ahmedabad, PRL at Ahmedabad and Udaipur, TRDDC at Pune, R&D Centre of Reliance Industries Ltd. at Vadodara and IIT Bombay. The University sponsors registration for national and international conferences as well as for research publications, and also provides duty leave to attend the same. All the students are encouraged to become members of the student branches of professional bodies in their discipline like ISTE, CSI, IETE, ISHRAE,IChE and IEEE.
