ABOUT THE PROGRAMME PROGRAMME HIGHLIGHTS

Chemical Engineering (ChE) is a well-recognised branch of A programme accredited by the Engineering
engineering that applies the core scientific principles of chemistry, Accreditation Council (EAC) Malaysia and recognised
physics, biology and mathematics to transform raw materials into by the Washington Accord
useful or valuable end-products.  ChE covers the development,
design and operation of chemical processing plants while Courses designed to equip graduates with essential
considering elements such as techno-economic viability,
skills needed for Industrial Revolution 4.0
operability, safety and sustainability for the extraction, conversion
A stimulating environment with excellent teaching and
and recovery of materials. There is a tremendous demand for
research lab facilities
chemical engineers in many sectors of industry, including the
traditional processing industries: chemicals, polymers, fuels, An opportunity for students to gain operating skills
foods, pharmaceuticals, and paper, as well as other sectors such accessing Malaysia’s First Simulation Integrated
as electronic materials and devices, consumer products, mining Process Plant (SIPP)
and metals extraction, biomedical implants, power generation,
education and insurance. A wide range of students’ activities to help transform
our students into highly skilled, well-rounded
The ChE programme in Xiamen University Malaysia (XMUM) has professionals
been awarded accreditation by the Engineering Accreditation
Council (EAC) Malaysia and provides a cohesive learning and Opportunities for research stays in the main campus
knowledge-building environment for the pursuit of quality
teaching and research. Other than the set-up of advanced CAREER OPPORTUNITIES
chemical engineering laboratories for teaching purposes, a
Simulation Integrated Process Plant (SIPP) was also established Chemical engineer and researcher in
in XMUM. The SIPP facility can be regarded as the first simulated
process plant available in Malaysia catering for the training of Oil and gas industry
chemical engineering students especially in the fields of process Palm oil industry
safety, control and instrumentation. The elements of Industrial Energy industry
Revolution 4.0 (IR 4.0) are also embedded in some of the courses Chemical and allied products
in the ChE programme. In addition, the programme is supported by Healthcare/Pharmaceutical industry
well-qualified staff members who are experts in various research Food industry
areas of chemical engineering, such as catalysis process, Biochemical/Bioenergy industry
Water technology
modelling and simulation, nanomaterials, membrane, biomass
Material science
and bio-product development.
Health, safety and environment engineering
