The Department of Chemical Engineering has its roots in the Chemical
Technology course which was established in the Department of Chemistry
in 1965. The first intake of students was in 1967 and the first group of
graduates emerged in 1971. In 1975 the course in Chemical Technology was
renamed Chemical Engineering and was placed under the wings of the
Faculty of Engineering, University of Malaya.
The Department runs an eight semesters (4 years) undergraduate
programme in Chemical Engineering. The curriculum leading to the degree
of Bachelors of Engineering (Chemical) is designed to provide a proper
balance between the fundamental aspects of Chemical Engineering and
applications to the operation, design, analysis of engineering systems.
The degree is recognized and
accredited by Engineering
Accreditation Council (EAC)
under the Board of Engineers,
Malaysia (BEM) and the
Institution of Chemical Engineers
(IChemE, UK). Recently the
Department’s programme has
been accredited as Masters of
Engineering (Chemical) by the
IChemE and all freshmen will be
inducted in this new programme.
The Department also offers
postgraduate programmes by
