faculty:in brief

The faculty gains its distinguished name on 1st June 2010 after the Faculty of Chemical and Natural Resources Engineering (FKKKSA) which was split into two faculties:Faculty of Chemical Engineering (FChE) and Faculty of Petroleum and Renewable Energy Engineering (FPREE). Undergraduate programs are offered since its inception under FKKKSA in 1983 and postgraduate programs are offered since 1998.

Under the new management, a vibrant research environment was promoted so as to achieve UTM aspiration towards Vision 2020. FChE is geared up towards postgraduate focus faculty and will become a referral centre for research related to chemical engineering. The FChE is to become an important structural component in the formation of UTM entrepreneur research university by 2020.

FChE is led by a Dean and assisted by two Deputy Deans, four Head of Departments, an IT Manager, a Deputy Registrar and an Assistant Registrar. The faculty is divided into three different Departments:

• Bioprocess Engineering• Chemical Engineering

• Polymer Engineering

The Head of Post Graduate Studies, assisted by Programme Coordinators manages the post graduate matters to ensure smooth running of all the programmes.
