1.0 INTRODUCTION TO FACULTY

1.1 Message From The Dean

Assalamualaikum and Good Day,

It is with great pleasure that I welcome all students to the Faculty of Chemical Engineering. We are

proud to have you on board and on behalf of the faculty, we are happy to share with you the

enjoyment of learning and discovery of new knowledge.

You have definitely made the right decision to join UiTM after leaving high school or matriculation

centres. With the positive mindset to be transformed into a productive well being, who is not only

the pride of the family but also contributes tremendously towards the development of the country,

this faculty is here to guide you to make your dreams achievable. Experienced and well qualified

staff, coupled with a conducive learning environment, high class lecture rooms and halls, well-

equipped laboratories and state-of-the-art facilities are the keys to ensuring a high quality teaching

and learning process. The quality of learning provided is evident through local and international

recognition of our programmes. Nonetheless, our relentless effort in ensuring a high quality

education to our students would not be successful when there is no commitment or active

participation from the students during lectures/ laboratory work/ tutorials or extra curricular

activities.

The journey to success is indeed colourful but the challenges are there to make us better human

beings. Please remember the quotation “To succeed is easier than to fail” and being the

subservient of God Almighty, we plan for our success, act upon it and pray to achieve the goal as

the Hadith S.A.W says “Berusaha dan Bertawakkal”.

1.2 Faculty of Chemical Engineering in Brief

Welcome to the Faculty of Chemical Engineering. The faculty was established on 16th June 2003 in

Universiti Teknologi MARA, Shah Alam. The faculty may be relatively young but chemical

engineering has existed in UiTM since 1972. Increasing demand for chemical engineers along with

the nation’s economic growth has contributed to the launching of Bachelor of Chemical

Engineering programme at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering in the year 2000.

The academic programmes offered at the faculty are in line with science and technology

developments and current industrial needs to provide the highest level of chemical engineering

courses. The programmes provide students with powerful problem solving skills comprising a high

level of synthesis of mathematics, computation, chemistry, physics, and molecular biology with the

engineering core of thermodynamics, transport, control, and design.

Apart from producing graduates at the diploma and first degree levels, the faculty also offers

postgraduate programmes. The MSc. And PhD in chemical engineering began its intake in May

2003. Our research interests cover a wide range of topics from Green Technology and

Sustainable Development, Novel Material Processing, Industrial Biotechnology, Process System

and Oil and Gas Engineering.

1.3 What is Chemical Engineering

A chemical engineer is involved in the design, development, construction and operation of

industrial processes for the production of a diverse range of products, as well as in commodity and

specialty chemicals. Relevant industries include oil and gas, pharmaceuticals, energy, water

treatment, food and drink, plastics and toiletries. Modern chemical engineering is also concerned

with pioneering valuable new materials and techniques, such as nanotechnology, fuel cells and

biomedical engineering.

The field of chemical engineering may focus on one of the following: researching new products

from trial through to commercialization; managing scale-up processes from plant to full industrial-

scale manufacturing; improving product lines; modifying the processing plant that produces the

products; and designing and commissioning new plants.

1.4 Job Description and Responsibilities of a Chemical Engineer

The activities as chemical engineers are extremely diverse, depending on the role and the sector,

which include:

working closely with process chemists and control engineers to ensure the process plant is set up to provide maximum output levels and efficient running of the production facility.

designing plant and equipment configuration so that they can be readily adapted to suit the product range and the process technologies involved, taking environmental and economic aspects into account.

instituting scale-up and scale-down processes including appropriate changes to equipment design and configuration.

assessing options for plant expansion or reconfiguration by developing and testing process simulation models.

designing, installing and commissioning new production plants, including monitoring developments and troubleshooting.

optimising production by analysing processes and compiling de-bottleneck studies;

applying new technologies.

ensuring that potential safety issues related to the project operator, the environment, the process and the product are considered at all stages.

Chemical engineers from the faculty can engage their skills across these many apparently

disparate industries because of the breadth and depth of their training in the engineering core and

the enabling sciences. Chemical engineers can tackle a range of problems based on their solid

foundation in quantitative logical thinking and problem solving. It is not surprising, therefore, that

chemical engineers can have promising careers in the following areas:

Absorption & Adsorption Engineer, Anatomist, Biochemist, Biophysicist, Botanist, Brewery

Processing, Chemical Design Engineer, Chemical Equipment Sales Engineer, Chemical Test

Engineer, Cytologist, Environmental Epidemiologist, Facilities Design Engineer, Food Technologist,

Geneticist, Histopathologist, Microbiologist, Nuclear Engineer, Petroleum Engineer,

Pharmacologist, Physiologist, Polymer Engineer, Process Engineer, Public Health, Research

Engineer and Technical Director
