SCHOOL OF BIOPROCESS ENGINEERING
UNIVERSITY MALAYSIA PERLIS
CHEMICAL ENGINEERING (PREVIOUSLY KNOWN AS BIOPROCESS ENGINEERING)
Chemical Engineering is a discipline associated with the production of biological related entities including but not limiting to biopharmaceuticals, biometabolites, biofunctional metabolites, biofuels, design and operation of fermentation systems, development of food processing systems, application and testing of product separation technologies, design of instrumentations to monitor and control biological processes, and many more.
Like other engineering disciplines, Chemical Engineering students in UniMAP are trained in the application of engineering sciences and problem solving techniques. What separates them from other engineers is their understanding of how every engineering field relates to living systems. With the rapid growth of biologically based technologies, bioprocss engineers are uniquely qualified to solve problems of today and tomorrow. The demand for bioprocess engineers continues to increase. They provide a bridge between the research laboratory activities and the economics, and large scale commercial implementation of biotechnologies.

PROGRAMME OBJECTIVES
PROGRAMME OUTCOMES
PO1
Apply knowledge of mathematics, natural science, engineering fundamentals and an engineering specialization to the solution of complex engineering problems.
PO2
Identify, formulate, conduct research literature and analyse complex engineering problems reaching substantiated conclusions using first principles of mathematics, natural sciences and engineering sciences.
PO3
Design solutions for complex engineering problems and design systems, components or processes that meet specified needs with appropriate consideration for public health and safety, cultural, societal, and environmental considerations.
PO4
Conduct investigation of complex problems using research-based knowledge and research methods including design of experiments,analysis and interpretation of data, and synthetics of information to provide valid conclusions.
PO5
Create, select and apply appropriate techniques, resources, and modern engineering and IT tools, including prediction and modelling, to complex engineering problems, with an understanding of the limitations.
PO6
Apply reasoning informed by contextual knowledge to assess societal, health, safety, legal and cultural issues and the consequent responsibilities relevant to professional engineering practice and solutions to complex engineering problems.
PO7
