UCSI大學(xué)

Chemical engineers are known as the universal engineers of all time and are well-versed in converting raw materials to more practical forms by applying both physical sciences and life sciences. Fusing chemistry, biology, microbiology and biochemistry with mathematics, this branch of engineering is versatile and allows room for specialization in many areas, such as nanotechnology, re?ning, bio-diesel production and petrochemical production, to name a few.

The Chemical Engineering degree programmed o?ered at UCSI University is designed to equip students with fundamental engineering and scienti?c knowledge in the ?eld of chemical engineering.

The programmed focuses on core technical operations in the chemical sector such as material handling, ?uid ?ows, material and energy balances, mass and heat transfers, thermodynamics, chemical reaction designs, separation processes, environmental engineering and petroleum re?ning processes, to name a few. Apart from being solidly grounded in technical applications, the students are also furnished with management skills during the course of their study, in line with current demands of the industry.

In this programmed, students are also required to undergo industrial training under UCSI University’s Co-operative Placement (Co-op) Programmed at the end of their 2nd and 3rd academic years. The objective of the Co-op programmed is to provide an avenue for students to gain exposure to professional practices in an actual working environment in addition to developing the necessary soft skills pertinent to their individual development. Student learning is also enhanced by industry visits, talks by prominent guest speakers from professional bodies, laboratory works as well as plant design projects, among other hands-on activities.

International Degree Pathway (IDP) Programme:

• Caters to aspiring students from all walks of life who wish to obtain a foreign degree and yet wish to spend the initial years at UCSI.
• Provides students with an opportunity to study at UCSI for 1 or 2 years and complete the rest of their studies at their chosen university overseas.
• Offers students the flexibility of obtaining a foreign university degree by transferring from UCSI to a partner university abroad.
• Such flexibility enables students to expand their international learning experience at a lower cost.

Career opportunities

The programmed is an excellent preparation for a career in the chemical engineering fields, such as the oil and gas industry, commodity chemicals, specialty/consumer chemicals and advanced materials. Chemical engineers can also be employed in other manufacturing industries such as electrical, electronics, pulp and paper products, medicine and healthcare, as well as the heavy machinery industry.

Today, the field of chemical engineering is a diverse one, encompassing a wide range of areas. Graduates are able to find career opportunities in the following roles:

• Process Engineer
• Product Engineer
• Environmental Engineer
• Design Engineer
• Production Engineer
• Quality Engineer
• Service Engineer
