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
