Course Description

The Bachelor of Engineering (Hons) Chemical is a full time programme designed for students who wish to pursue their study in Degree in Chemical Engineering. This programme starts to take off in UiTM since May 2000. The duration of this programme is four years. The programme is structured in such a way that the courses offered fall into three categories apart from the University requirements. They are the common engineering courses, core chemical engineering courses and a selection of managerial courses.

The programme is spread over eight semesters with total credit hours of 134 to ensure students possess the necessary knowledge, values, skills and competencies before working as chemical engineers. The programme structure in all courses contains lectures, tutorials and practical work laboratories where appropriate and follows the Board of Engineers requirements. Assessment for majority of the courses is based on tests, assignments, mini projects and examinations. The number of students in each class is about 30 to enable an effective teaching/learning process. Besides class-style courses, students are divided into small groups to carry out mini projects. A design project must be carried out by students to equip the students with hands-on experience in real chemical plant design.
