Welcome to Chemical Engineering Department
Chemical engineering is everywhere.
In the clean water we drink, the food we eat, the fuel in our cars, the electricity that lights up our homes, the plastics and materials we use daily, and even the medicines that keep us healthy. It also powers the world’s most advanced industries, from creating high-performance materials for the semiconductor and electronics sector, to producing life-saving pharmaceuticals, renewable energy solutions, and sustainable technologies for a greener future. At UTP, our mission is to train and inspire the next generation of engineers who make these everyday miracles possible. Here, we don’t just teach equations and theories, we show how to turn ideas into real solutions.
From designing eco-friendly plastics to developing clean energy and safer processes, our students and researchers work on challenges that matter for people, industry, and the planet. At UTP, we believe chemical engineers are more than problem-solvers, they are solution creators, industry disruptors, and guardians of our planet’s future. From driving decarbonization breakthroughs and shaping the path toward energy sustainability, to designing technologies that tackle the global climate crisis head-on, our graduates stand at the frontline of change. They don’t just respond to the world’s challenges, they engineer the future.
- Fully accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Council Malaysia (EAC), by the Board of Engineers Malaysia.
- Washington Accord International Accreditation Agreement, our Bachelor of Engineering degree is recognised by engineering bodies worldwide.
