MESSAGE FROM

THE VICE-CHANCELLOR AND

PRESIDENT

At UCSI University’s Faculty of Engineering, Technology and Built Environment, we empower students to go beyond their studies. The Faculty greatly emphasises social responsibility and we are proud to help them contribute positively to the community through our many events and projects.

From fundraising to tree-planting and recycling, our students are solidly grounded in meaningful campaigns – both inside and outside the classroom – where they strive to make a profound difference in the world. They constantly put themselves on a mission to discover uncharted territories and devise solutions to current problems. And they do so with great enthusiasm, impacting lives with their efforts. With this, it is my pleasure to welcome you to the Faculty. It is here that you will confront new challenges, hone your strengths and develop your personal mission. It is here that you will work hand in hand with outstanding academics and practitioners to reach your goals. Here is where you achieve.

SENIOR PROFESSOR DATO' DR KHALID YUSOFF

VICE-CHANCELLOR AND PRESIDENT

MESSAGE FROM

THE DEAN

Welcome to UCSI University’s Faculty of Engineering, Technology and Built Environment. The Faculty is recognised – in Malaysia and throughout the region – for the quality of its teaching. To be the best, we believe students need to learn from the best. This is why we bring together the best minds in academia and the industry: To ensure our students are equipped to thrive in challenging environments. At the Faculty, academic rigour is allied with exposure to cutting-edge industry projects and research. Our students constantly enjoy avenues to apply what they learn and more importantly, to shape their own discoveries. And they do. Our students have designed a hybrid energy system – comprising solar, wind and hydro energy – that effectively reduces energy consumption in all CBCs. For wastewater treatment, they have converted biomass extracts into magnetic biochar. They have also isolated nanocrystalline cellulose (NCC) from oil palm biomass for better hydroquinone delivery. This is just a microcosm of the culture of innovation at UCSI, a place where leadership and innovation is the norm.

The Faculty invites you to experience this, first-hand. If you’re passionate about engineering and implementing outside-the-box ideas that improve the lives of people across the globe, this is the place for you.

ENGINEERING AT UCSI

At the Faculty of Engineering, Technology and Built Environment, teaching revolves around lectures, laboratory experiments, industrial placements, projects, seminars, site visits, tutorials, camps and e-forums. Students are assessed through written exams, projects, assignments, case studies and presentations, and are expected to excel in 12 areas including engineering knowledge, communication, problem analysis and ethics.

UCSI has also set up over five specialised labs like the Geomatic and Concrete Lab as well as the Material Science and Petrology Soil Mechanics Lab. This gives students the opportunity to work with actual materials and equipment, and conduct experiments that reinforce concepts learned in the classroom.

TEACHING

CAREERS

There is a vast variety of engineering fields – for example, business, power, healthcare, construction, manufacturing, entertainment, and oil and gas. In fact, no other field offers more choices and a high salary – which will get even better as a candidate’s career progresses. According to ‘Top 10 Highest Paying Jobs in Malaysia’ reported by Jobstreet.com in 2013, some of the highest-paying careers are found in the field of engineering including electronics, oil and gas, mechanical and civil engineering.

CHEMICAL ENGINEERING

Chemical engineering combines the three basic physical sciences – chemistry, physics and biology – with mathematics, making it one of today's most versatile engineering fields. This allows room for specialisation in a very broad spectrum of fields, from nanotechnology and oil refining to conversion of biomass or waste to valuable products. Since its founding, the Department of Chemical Engineering at UCSI has produced over 85 graduate engineers – a testament to not just the richness of the programme but also its strong academic expertise.

Committed to providing quality education and research, the department is constantly building ties with external collaborators. Through such collaboration, students may have the opportunity to work hand in hand with researchers from renowned universities and industry players on various research projects. They will also enjoy many avenues to apply their acquired knowledge – and achieve on national and international stages. For example, the year 2014 saw UCSI’s chemical engineering students successfully clinch three gold medals in the 5th International Engineering Invention & Innovation Exhibition 2014 (i-ENVEX 2014) and the first runner-up prize at the 9th Malaysia Chem-E-Car Competition 2014.

As a chemical engineering student, you will be exposed to myriad new technologies that are rapidly reshaping the society we live in. You will enjoy diverse career opportunities in the fields of biochemical engineering, environmental management and pharmaceuticals. You will acquire unrivalled and invaluable engineering experience. And when you do, you will engineer innovative solutions that matter.

WINNERS OF THE RM15,000 GRAND PRIZE IN THE

2013 SCHLUMBERGER OCEAN PLUG-IN COMPETITION.

“UCSI encourages us to use different software during classes and in the labs. Such exposure helped with the competition as I found it easier to understand new software – in this case, the Petrel software – so it was a much easier transition.

This win has also given me the opportunity to make a lot of new contacts and put our names out there to renowned companies.”

“Since enrolling at UCSI, I’ve gained better time management skills and this has helped me a lot with designing the plug-in. And although we couldn’t directly apply what we studied to this project, UCSI has definitely equipped me with the ability to learn quickly and turn ideas into reality!“
