science principles, and mathematics. These courses also include communication
skills, economics, ethics, and law related to engineering profession.

The Department courses provide the students with essential elements of core
chemical engineering enhanced with advanced chemical engineering elements

through final year electives. Furthermore, the curriculum provides adequate
exposure to laboratory work and professional engineering practice.

A minimum of four (4) years or eight (8) semesters including one special semester
is required to complete a full-time study of the Chemical Engineering Programme.

During the four years (eight semesters) of study, this programme offers a
comprehensive view into the basic applications and principles in the field of
chemical engineering. There is a variety of teaching-learning (delivery) modes of

lectures, project work, design projects, research projects, experiments, seminars,
fieldwork, and practical training, that encourages innovation and creativity

among students. The curriculum structure requires a minimum of 143 credits to
graduate, with an average of 18 to 22 credit hours in a semester. The programme
also requires an Industrial Training attachment of 10 weeks, which enables

students to gain first-hand exposure to the industry and to have an insight on how
theories are put to practice in real situations. To expand students’ experience

beyond the classroom, the programme also requires the students to undergo
several industrial visits and attend research and industrial talk given by the

industries. Graduates who have completed the course of study successfully will be
awarded with the degree Bachelor of Chemical Engineering which is accredited

by the Engineering Accreditation Council (EAC) in Malaysia and the Institution of
Chemical Engineers (IChemE) based in the United Kingdom.
