1.0 INTRODUCTION TO FACULTY
1.1. Message from the Coordinator Programme
Assalamualaikum and Good Day,
On behalf of faculty members, I’m real privileged and immensely honoured to welcome all
freshmen to Faculty of Chemical Engineering, UiTM Cawangan Pulau Pinang. I congratulate
all of you for having secured a seat in this faculty that always strives for excellence in all
areas of teaching and research. With your fresh and young minds that are ready to start a
new and exciting journey of your life. We are proud to have you on board and delighted to
assist you in anything you need.
The faculty offers you with a carefully designed programme in which chemical engineering
and environmental engineering education are well integrated. The programme curriculum
focuses on the application of chemical engineering principles to the study of environmental
problems such as water, air and solid waste pollution.in facts, it also incorporates the
elements of soft skills such as leaderships, communications, critical and problem-solving skills
and teamwork which are essential in the real working environment. With a close and positive
relationship between student and faculty in place, you will be nurtured and inspired
throughout the programme within a supportive learning environment.
Nonetheless, our relentless effort in ensuring a high-quality education for our students would
not be successful without your effort to make it happen. Your full commitment to participate
in all the active learning activities are what matters most. This is the first step towards
fulfillment of your dreams and for the 3 or 4 years that you are here, we hope that you can

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 20 academic staff and 5 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, faculty has a few laboratories for hands on activities such as chemical engineering
lab, computer lab, research lab, process control lab and instrument lab.
At present, the Faculty of Chemical Engineering UiTM Penang offers Bachelor of Chemical
Engineering (Environment) with honours since March 2014. Curriculum developed and
continuously updated in line with the needs of industry for the workforce with the technical
skills and having strong ethical values.
1.3 Overview of Chemical and Environmental Engineering.
A chemical and environmental 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 and wastewater 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 and environmental 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; conduct hazardous-waste
management studies; improve recycling, waste disposal, public health, water and air
pollution control and designing and commissioning new plants.

1.4 Job Description and Responsibilities of a Chemical and Environmental 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 analyzing 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.
 Test, operate and modify equipment used in the process to prevent or clean up
environmental pollution.
 Design projects that lead to environmental protection, such as water reclamation
facilities, air pollution control systems and operation that convert waste to energy.
Chemical and environmental 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 and environmental 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 and environmental
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, EHS Engineer, Water and Wastewater Engineer, Facility Engineer,
Environmental Consultant, DOE Officer, Research Officer, Project Engineer, Sales Engineer,
Control Engineer, Environmental scientist and Academician.

5.0 STUDENT FACILITIES
5.1
Library
The library was established on 16th June 1996 in temporary campus of Permatang Pasir and
then move to Permatang Pauh campus on 2003. Originally, it was placed at Perdana
building and since 2011, it has been located at a new library building which is near to the
Islamic Center building. The library consists of three levels, where the first level specified for
the series publication and reference collection while the general collection is placed at
second and third level. In addition, the materials of media collection were also located at
the third level. In order to support one of the UiTM mission to enhance the knowledge
through research work, the library is committed to provide not only books to the users but
they also subscribed more than 50 online databases from the various journals. For detail

5.2 Computer Laboratory
In line with the recent development in information technologies, the students need to be
exposed with the latest knowledge using the developed technologies to enhance their skills
and understanding during learning. Thus, the faculty offers the computer laboratory facility
to facilitate the needs of transferring the knowledge. The computer lab is equipped with the
up to date software which can assist the students to develop their knowledge in modeling
and simulation as required by the processes in the chemical industries such as ASPEN PLUS,
AutoCAD and MATLAB which are suitable for teaching and research.
5.3 Laboratories
The faculty offers a wide choice of facilities to assist student in their learning process. The high
technology equipment is provided in specialized laboratories for learning and research
activities.
