Bachelor of Engineering (Hons) Chemical 1.0
Introduction Chemical Engineering focuses on the application of engineering principles to the design, construction and operation of industrial processing plants. A chemical engineer generally works at any industrial processing plant such as those dealing with petrochemicals, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, semiconductors, food processing and other allied industries. The job involves supervision of plant operation and maintenance, troubleshooting operational problems related to process, and undertaking plant modification work for process operability and safety improvement. The Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) Chemical programme stresses the need for a strong foundation in Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry, followed by a thorough coverage of basic engineering courses such as Fluid Mechanics, Thermodynamics and Mass & Heat Transfer. In the later years of study, students are exposed to Unit Operations, Reaction Engineering, Safety & Environment, Process Control and Process Design. In addition to the above, at the end of their studies a student will have the opportunity to take special topics in one of these selected areas of interest:
1.1
Environmental and Sustainable Engineering Process Plant Engineering Gas and Petrochemical Engineering Process Analysis and Control Process Plant Safety

Introduction Geoscience has always been the centre of all modern natural resource industries, starting from exploration phase, through to their development and production phase. This programme has been designed to provide students with a strong understanding of geology and geophysics that relate to exploration, petroleum discovery, development and production. The Bachelor of Technology (Hons) in Petroleum Geoscience degree at Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS emphasises on quantitative geosciences, thus requiring strong fundamentals in mathematics and physics, followed by a thorough coverage of basic geology courses such as Physical Geology, Minerology and Petrology, Structural Geology, Stratigraphy and Palaeontology, and Geological Field Mapping. At higher levels, students are exposed to more petroleum geoscience related courses such as Clastic and Carbonate Sedimentology, Geochemistry, Seismic Acquisition and Processing, Seismic Interpretation, Formation Evaluation, and Seismic Imaging. In the final year, students have the opportunity to major in a mix of these three selected areas of interest:

Bachelor of Science (Hons) in Applied Physics 1.0
Introduction Applied Physics involves the application of Physics principles to the design, construction and operation of various systems and devices. A physicist generally works at any industrial or research establishments such as those dealing with semiconductor devices, solar cells, electronics and product processing. The job involves supervision of equipment operation and maintenance, troubleshooting operational problems related to process, and undertaking modification work for product and safety improvement. The Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Applied Physics programme stresses the need for a strong foundation in Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry, followed by a thorough coverage of basic science courses such as Mechanics, Thermodynamics and Electromagnetics. In the later years of study, students are exposed to Optics, Quantum Mechanics, Semiconductor Devices & Technology, Solid States Physics and Measurement & Instrumentation. In addition to the above, at the end of their studies a student will have the opportunity to take special topics in one of these selected areas of interest:

UTP has always placed great emphasis in having a close cooperation with the industries. The Student Industrial Internship Programme (SIIP) is a prime example of the University – Industry collaboration. Currently, UTP offers five (5) engineering programmes namely Chemical, Civil, Electrical & Electronics, Mechanical and Petroleum, and three (3) technological programmes namely Petroleum Geoscience, Information & Communication Technology and Business Information System, Applied Physics and Applied Chemistry at Bachelor Degree level. The SIIP are divided into two courses. Details are as follow: Course Code : ICB3037 Course : Student Industrial Training (SIT) No. of credit : 7 Pre-requisite : Refer to Student Industrial Internship Programme under Academic Requirements Duration : 14 weeks
