Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Chemical)

Chemical engineering is a discipline influencing a great variety of industrial processes ranging from the production and transformation of materials to transferring energy and matters. Chemical engineers are responsible for the design, development, operation and management of the processes and plants with the minimum environmental impact. A chemical engineering background implies sound knowledge of both the engineering and scientific principles underlying these technological processes.

The Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Chemical) is accredited by the Board of Engineers Malaysia (BEM) through Engineering Accreditation Council (EAC). As Board of Engineers Malaysia has been accepted as a full member of the Washington Accord (WA), an accredited engineering program will be recognised as an equivalent entry qualification to practise engineering in all signatory countries under the Washington Accord including United States, United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, Japan, Singapore, New Zealand, Russia, South Africa, Turkey, Korea, Ireland, Hong Kong and Chinese Taipei.

Graduates are eligible to register as Graduate Engineers with Board of Engineers Malaysia (BEM) and all signatory countries under Washington Accord. Graduates can also apply for graduate membership with learned society such as The Institution of Engineers Malaysia (IEM), Institution of Chemical Engineer (IChemE) and American Institution of Chemical Engineers’ (AIChE).

Students who successfully complete this course will be able to:

apply coherent and advanced knowledge of the chosen major in engineering in diverse contexts and applications using critical thinking and judgment
apply knowledge of research principles and methods to plan and execute a piece of research with some independence, as preparation for research higher degrees
