Department of Chemical and Process EngineeringÌý´Ç´Ú´Ú±ð°ù²õÌýBachelor Degree of Chemical EngineeringÌýsince it was established in 1984,Ìýwhen the faculty of Engineering was embodied inÌýUniversiti Kebangsaan Malaysia.

Chemical EngineeringÌýdirectly involves inÌýraw feed processing to produce valuable productsÌýespecially if the processing involvesÌýphase change, contain energy of the processed materials andÌýcomposites.ÌýChemical, physical and mathematical principlesÌýwhich are the basis of ChemicalÌýEngineering are used to understand theÌýchemical reaction process in a reactor and transportÌýprocess in a processing unit and separation. Meanwhile theÌýeconomic and management principlesÌýare completing the Chemical Engineering Program.

Biochemical engineeringÌýthat routes fromÌýfermentation industryÌý³Ü²õ±ð²õÌýChemical EngineeringÌýprinciple in processing the biological and biochemical materials. This field includesÌýmicroorganism breeding, enzyme usage as biological and biochemical process catalyst, andÌýdesign, optimization and process control for large scale biological and biochemical processes andÌýalso process synthesis of commercial materials such as food, pharmaceutical products andÌýindustrial biochemical products in general.

Starting from the 2015 – 2016 academic session, Chemical Engineering program has beenÌýrestructured where all Biochemical Engineering elements were combined in this program. ThisÌýwas practicable in parallel to theÌýaccreditation and industrial requirements that require graduatesÌýto possess vast knowledge covering both fields. It is also in line with the Chemical EngineeringÌýprogram that is mostly offered by well-known universities worldwide.

Apart from that,Ìýeducational programÌýwas also structured to allow students to obtainÌývast andÌýdeep exposure in design experience, industrial work and research. At the end of the third year,Ìýstudents need to undergoÌýpractical training. Research project is also conducted in semester VIIÌýand VIII. In the final year, students need to completeÌýdesign project for the process plant. StrongÌýbasis as well as practical exposure are believed to produce competent engineers. CurriculumÌýstructure was thoroughly planned so that the students would gain sufficient knowledge toÌýperformÌýProcess Plant Design ProjectÌýin Semester VIII. Students may use computer softwareÌýsuch as Aspentech®, iCON® and Superpro® to assist them in the Design Project.

In 2004, the Faculty of Engineering & Built Environment ÌÇÐÄÔ­´´ has pioneered a move to transform the undergraduate curriculum into Outcome Based Education in accordance with requirements from the Board of Engineers, Malaysia and the Malaysian Qualification Framework introduced by the Ministry of Higher Education. In this approach, inputs from stakeholders are taken into account when reviewing the curriculum. As a result, there are courses in which their teaching approach have been changed the methods such as cooperative learning, student-centred learning and problem based learning. This new curriculum was implemented beginning from the 2005/2006 academic session.

In this curriculum, based on inputs collected from the stakeholders, the faculty has developed the following Programme Educational Objectives in order to be achieved by the graduates several years after graduation:

  • PEO1 –ÌýEngineer / Architect who hasÌýcharacter and ethics, as well asÌýhigh professionalismÌýand contributes to theÌýNational Aspirations.
  • PEO2 –ÌýEngineer / Architect who isÌýcompetentÌýin respective engineering practices that meets current and future needs.
  • PEO3 –ÌýEngineer / Architect who has aÌýcreative and innovative, entrepreneurialÌýand leadership qualities that are glocal.

In the Outcome Based Education curriculum, a student needs to possess featured listed as the Programme Outcomes just after his/her graduation and these outcomes have to be assessed through designated measurement methods. Therefore, the Faculty has developed the following Programme Outcomes to be achieved by all students:

  • PO1 –ÌýEngineering KnowledgeÌý– Apply mathematics, natural science, engineering fundamentals and engineering specialization to the solution of complex engineering problems.
  • PO2 –ÌýProblem AnalysisÌý– Identify, formulate, research literature and analyse complex engineering problems using first principles of mathematics, natural sciences and engineering sciences.
  • PO3 –ÌýDesign/Development of SolutionsÌý– Design solutions for complex engineering problems and design systems, components or processes with appropriate consideration for public health and safety, cultural, societal, and environmental considerations.
  • PO4 –ÌýInvestigationÌý– Conduct investigation of complex problems using research-based knowledge and research methods.
  • PO5 –ÌýModern Tool UsageÌý– Create, select and apply modern engineering and IT tools including prediction and modelling to complex engineering problems.
  • PO6Ìý–ÌýThe Engineer and SocietyÌý– Apply reasoning to assess societal, health, safety, legal and cultural issues and the consequent responsibilities relevant to professional engineering practice and solutions to complex engineering problems.
  • PO7Ìý–ÌýEnvironment and SustainabilityÌý– Understand and evaluate the sustainability and the impact of professional engineering work in the solution ofÌýcomplex engineering problems.
  • PO8Ìý–ÌýEthicsÌý– Apply ethical principles and commit to professional ethics and responsibilities and norms of engineering practice.
  • PO9 – Individual and Team-Work – Function effectively as an individual, member or leader in diverse teams and in multi-disciplinary settings.
  • PO10Ìý–ÌýCommunicationÌý– Communicate effectively on complex engineering activities with the engineering community and with society able to comprehend, write, present, give and receive instructions.
  • PO11 –ÌýProject Management and Finance –ÌýDemonstrate knowledge and understanding of engineering management principles and economic decision-making, apply to own work, as a member and leader in a team, manage projects and in multidisciplinary environments.
  • PO12Ìý–ÌýLife Long Learning –ÌýRecognize the need, prepare and engage in independent and life-long learning.
