At present, there are 17 residential colleges on the main campus, which can accommodate more than 15,000 students. There are many types of room available in each college; single, 2-person, 3-personand 4-person. Some colleges provide single accommodation for graduate students with each room having a network port and its own attached bathroom. Married students residential are also available on campus.

The University also provides transport services for students to commute from their on-campus residential colleges to classes. The buses provide services from 7.15 am to 11.30 pm daily. In addition, there are also public buses such as the Transit Link and Maju bus companies, which ply between Taman Universiti via the ring road of the campus to Johor Bahru City Centre. Other facilities include library, cafeteria, sport centre and newly built stadium.

Faculty of chemical engineering

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.

VISION

To be a world-class centre of academic and technological excellence in chemical engineering

MISSION

To lead the development of human capital and innovative technologies in chemical engineering

OBJECTIVES •

• •

To produce graduates who are trained in Chemical, Polymer and Bioprocess Engineering. Besides being skilled in their fields of study, the graduates are trained to be responsible professionals that are able to face challenges.

POST GRADUATE PROGRAMME

TAUGHT COURSE

PROGRAMME MODES The faculty offers three modes of post graduate programmes.

Taught Course The candidate must complete a minimum of 40 credits and must obtain a final academic grade of at least 3.0 CGPA (Cumulative Grade Point Average). The minimum 40 credits taught course consists of several subjects including faculty compulsory, faculty electives, a university elective and a Master’s project. Each course normally carries 2 or 3 credits, and assessment is by examinations and assignments.

The Master’s project must be completed in one or two semesters, is assessed through a research proposal seminar, a final project report and an oral examination.

Programmes offered are: • Master of Science (Process Plant Management) • Master of Science (Safety, Health and Environment) • Master of Science (Herbal Technology) • Master of Science (Energy Management)

Key: Applied Knowledge Skills: Technical Skills: a = major contribution to outcome; b = moderate contribution to outcome; c = minor contribution to outcome Generic Skills: 1 = Substantial (with assessment); 2 = not substantial (introduce) 17. Career Prospects Graduates of the programme can work as researchers, technologiests and instructors in various public and private institutions and as academicians at tertiary institutions.

18. Cross Campus Programme At the moment there is no cross campus programme.

19. Facilities available List of polymer laboratories: • Polymer Processing Lab • Polymer Characterization Lab • Polymer Testing Lab • Polymer Synthesis Lab

123

20. Support for students and their learning All students are allocated project supervisors whose role is to assist the with research projects.

21. Methods for evaluating and improving the quality and standards of teaching and learning mechanisms for review and evaluation of teaching, learning, assessment, the curriculum and outcome standards (a) End course review (course exit survey). (b) Periodic review of the programme from inductrial panel members. (c) Annual Staff appraisal. (d) External Examiner reports. (e) Faculty Academic committee with responsibility for monitoring and evaluating

quality and standards. (f ) Department Course Committee. (g) Faculty Academic Quality Assurance Committee (h) Board of Examiners (i) Mechanisms for gaining student feedbback on the quality of teaching and their

learning experience. (j) Teaching by Graduate Faculty and supported by technical staff. (k) Staff appraisal scheme and institutional staff development courses.

22. Regulation of assessment Progress Report Evalutaion: Every end of semester during study First Stage Examination (Proposal): The candidate should submit his/her research proposal on the 3rd semester of study (full time) or during 5th semester of study (part time). The proposal will be evaluated by two internal examiners. The candidate can proceed to PhD as recommended by the examiners as follows: (a)

(b1)

(b2)

(c)

The candidate can proceed to Doctor of Philosophy degree program without cor- rection The candidate can proceed to Doctor of Philosophy degree program subject to minor corrections.

The candidate can proceed to Doctor of Philosophy degree program subject to the amendments (major corrections) of the proposal and must be certified by the supervisor.

The candidate cannot proceed to Doctor of Philosophy degree program but is permitted to resubmit the proposal for further examination

124

Examinerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Report on Final Thesis: The panels consist of one internal and one external examiner. The recommendations for the award are as follows: (a) The candidate be awarded the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (b1) The candidate be awarded the degree of Doctor of Philosophy subject to minor

corrections (b2) The candidate be awarded the degree of Doctor of Philosophy subject to the

amendments and corrections as listed elsewhere in this report being made in the

thesis to satisfaction of the Internal/External Examiners (b) The candidate not be awarded the degree of Doctor of Philosophy but permitted to resubmit the thesis for further examinations (c) The candidate not be awarded the degree of Doctor of Philosophy but a lower

degree (d) The candidate not be awarded the degree of Doctor of Philosophy
