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 centers. 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 extracurricular 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

Faculty of Chemical Engineering (FKK) was established in UiTM Penang Campus in January 2005, which was the first branch campus offers diploma courses in Chemical Engineering, has begun to receive the first batch of students in June 2005. Starting with only one academic staff, Faculty of Chemical Engineering currently has a total of 18 academic staff and 4 non-academic staff. However, the number is expected to increase in line with the increasing number of students each year. In terms of teaching facilities, Chemical Engineering Laboratory is equipped with Physics, Computer Lab, Chemistry Lab, Process Control Laboratory and Pilot Plant facility which houses equipment for the Laboratory of Chemical Engineering, Instrumentation and Analysis Laboratory Research Laboratory. At present, the Faculty of Chemical Engineering UiTM Penang offers Bachelor of Engineering (Hons) in Chemical Engineering with Environment since March 2014. Curriculum developed and continuously updated in line with the needs of the industry at present is in dire need of a workforce with the technical skills , in addition to having strong ethical values.

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.

Optimizing 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.
