The benchmarking visit to UMP was conducted with the primary objective of gaining valuable insights into the Chemical Engineering Program offered by UMPSA. This visit also aimed to learn from UMPSA’s experiences in running their Chemical Engineering program, using it as a benchmark for our own Bachelor of Chemical Engineering with Honours program and Master of Science (Biotechnology Engineering) programs. Additionally, the feedback gathered during this benchmarking exercise will serve as a crucial input for the academic curriculum improvement process at our institution.
\n
\nThe visit commenced with opening remarks by representatives from both institutions, highlighting the importance of collaboration and knowledge sharing between our programs.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ gutter_width=”2″ admin_label=”Row” _builder_version=”4.22.1″ _module_preset=”27fc7508-8df5-4d4b-9301-9f1cf550dfde” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” pac_drh_custom_gutter_value_last_edited=”on|tablet” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.22.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/engine.iium.edu.my\/chemicalengineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/UMP-Benchmarking_05.jpg” alt=”AGD23_00″ title_text=”UMP-Benchmarking_05″ show_in_lightbox=”on” _builder_version=”4.22.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.22.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/engine.iium.edu.my\/chemicalengineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/UMP-Benchmarking_06.jpg” alt=”AGD23_01″ title_text=”UMP-Benchmarking_06″ show_in_lightbox=”on” _builder_version=”4.22.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label=”Row” _builder_version=”4.22.1″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”0px||0px||true|false” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” custom_margin=”30px||30px||true|false” sticky_enabled=”0″][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.22.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.22.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]\n

The next agenda was the discussion on UG and PG programme review of UMPSA’s Chemical Engineering Program. Discussions included program structure, course offerings, curriculum design, faculty qualifications, and teaching methods, etc. UMPSA’s program offers a well-structured curriculum with a strong emphasis on core chemical engineering principles.<\/p>\n

The implementation of outcome-based education was clearly demonstrated in their curriculum. In addition, UMPSA has effectively integrated practical experiences, industrial visits, and internships into their curriculum, enhancing the students’ practical skills and industry readiness.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ gutter_width=”2″ admin_label=”Row” _builder_version=”4.22.1″ _module_preset=”27fc7508-8df5-4d4b-9301-9f1cf550dfde” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” pac_drh_custom_gutter_value_last_edited=”on|tablet” pac_drh_custom_gutter_value_tablet=”50px” pac_drh_custom_gutter_value_phone=”50px” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.22.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/engine.iium.edu.my\/chemicalengineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/UMP-Benchmarking_18.jpg” alt=”AGD23_04″ title_text=”UMP-Benchmarking_18″ show_in_lightbox=”on” _builder_version=”4.22.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.22.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/engine.iium.edu.my\/chemicalengineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/UMP-Benchmarking_12.jpg” alt=”AGD23_05″ title_text=”UMP-Benchmarking_12″ show_in_lightbox=”on” _builder_version=”4.22.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” src__hover_enabled=”off|desktop” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ gutter_width=”2″ _builder_version=”4.22.1″ _module_preset=”27fc7508-8df5-4d4b-9301-9f1cf550dfde” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” pac_drh_custom_gutter_value_last_edited=”on|tablet” pac_drh_custom_gutter_value_tablet=”10px” pac_drh_custom_gutter_value_phone=”10px” theme_builder_area=”post_content” custom_margin=”5px||||false|false” sticky_enabled=”0″][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.22.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/engine.iium.edu.my\/chemicalengineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/UMP-Benchmarking_21.jpg” alt=”AGD23_07″ title_text=”UMP-Benchmarking_21″ show_in_lightbox=”on” _builder_version=”4.22.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.22.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/engine.iium.edu.my\/chemicalengineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/UMP-Benchmarking_09.jpg” alt=”AGD23_08″ title_text=”UMP-Benchmarking_09″ show_in_lightbox=”on” _builder_version=”4.22.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label=”Row” _builder_version=”4.22.1″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” custom_margin=”30px||30px||true|false” custom_padding=”0px||0px||true|false” sticky_enabled=”0″][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.22.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.22.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]\n
