INFORMATION

The Department of Chemical and Environmental Engineering was established in August 1996 and after years of existence, we have come to a high level of excellence in academic and research performance. This is reflected in the last 4 year’s of achievement where the department has continuously maintained the 5 Star rating and also the Overall Best Department in 2009, 2012, 2017, and 2018. The department is also among one of the highest contributors in research publications in this faculty.  In recent years,we have won more than 40 research awards from national and international exhibitions namely GENEVA, British Invention Show, IENA, Germany, INPEX,Pittsburgh, EUREKA, Belgium. We have also successfully registered 13 patents .

 

 

 

The department comprises of 44 staff, where 29 are academic staff and 15 are support staff. All of our experienced lecturers are PhD holders from reputable universities. Among the academic staff, 6 are professors, 9 Assoc. Prof., 15 senior lecturers. Six of our lecturers are chartered engineers and they are all members of professional bodies, such as IChemE, IEM, and MMWA.  

 

In regards to this, 1st International Conference on Innovation in Chemical Engineering and Technology (ICICET) 2021 is organized by the Department of Chemical and Environmental Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Universiti Putra Malaysia with an aim to bring together leading experts, scientists, educators and researchers from all over the globe under one room to share their important works in all aspects of engineering (especially chemical), technology and innovation. ICICET 2021 conference theme is ‘Adapting Sustainable Innovation in Chemical Engineering for Addressing a Global Crisis’. The selected theme reflects the current trends of changing culture in most work sector and how society adapt to the crisis that is inevitable. Specifically, how academia, scientist, researchers and industries adapt, innovate and stay productive amidst the COVID-19 pandemic that the worlds currently experiencing.
