Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) Chemical

1.0 Introduction

Chemical Engineering involves the application of engineering principles to the design, construction and operation of industrial processing plants. A chemical engineer generally works at any industrial processing plant such as those dealing with petrochemicals, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, semiconductors and food processing.The job involves supervision of plant operation and maintenance, troubleshooting operational problems related to process, and undertaking plant modification work for process operability and safety improvement. The Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) Chemical programme stresses the need for a strong foundation in Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry, followed by a thorough coverage of basic engineering courses such as Fluid Mechanics, Thermodynamics and Mass/Heat Transfer. In the later years of study, students are exposed to unit operations, reaction engineering, safety & environment, process control and process design. In addition to the above, at the end of their studies a student will have the opportunity to take special topics in one of these selected areas of interest:

Industrial Environmental Engineering

Process Plant Engineering

Gas and Petrochemical Engineering

Process Analysis and Control

Process Plant Safety

1.0 Introduction

Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS (UTP) was established with the objective to produce well-rounded graduates who are not only technically competent but also posses other traits such as lifetime learning capacity, critical thinking, communication and behavioural skills, business acumen, practical attitude and solution synthesis ability. For these reasons, UTP has made it compulsory for its undergraduate students to undergo practical training in the form of eight-month industrial internship programme prior to their completion of studies at UTP. It is anticipated that the experience gained from this programme will complement and enhance their knowledge and understanding learned at the university. UTP has always placed great emphasis in having a close cooperation with the industries. The internship programme is a prime example of the University – Industry collaboration. Currently, UTP offers five (5) engineering programmes namely Chemical, Civil, Electrical & Electronics, Mechanical and Petroleum, and three (3) technological programmes namely Petroleum Geoscience, Information & Communication Technology and Business Information System at Bachelor Degree level.
