    The objective of the Student Advisory System (SAS) is to create a pathway to a systemizedcommunication for students to receive guidance and advice in understanding the different conceptsand systems used by the University. The system generates a systematic channel for students to seekadvice on academic and non-academic matters.

    Upon enrolment, each student will be allocated to with an academic advisor who will serve as thestudent's advisor for the entire duration of the student's study at the University.

    7.2 Roles of an Academic Advisori. To be a friend, motivator, reference person, coach and progress monitoring.ii. To plan and schedule meetings with students (minimum of two meetings; one at the

    beginning and one at the end of semester).

    iii. To keep, maintain and update a meeting record to monitor students progress.iv. Guide students in their study plan, selection of courses, where necessary; ensuring pre-

    requisites are met before signing up for a course and appropriate credit hours are registered.v. To offer advice on non-academic matters; offering appropriate assistance or referring them

    to counselors for special cases.vi. Assist students on university matters; giving correct information and advice on organization,

    administration and rules and regulation of the University.

    7.3 Roles of a StudentThe SAS may not achieve its desired outcomes if students are reluctant to see their appointedadvisors.

    Students need to discuss academic or non-academic matters which require the recommendations oftheir academic advisors. Therefore students must:

    i. Meet the academic advisors regularly; minimum two times per semester.ii. Seek advice and opinion from advisors regarding academic and non-academic matters during

    the meetings.iii. Feel free to discuss and seek advice on academic, non academic or even personal mattersiv. For international students (in addition) may also liaise with the International Students Office

    on matters pertaining to international student welfare, activities and services.

    8.0 Mentor Mentee Programme

    8.1 IntroductionThe Mentor Mentee Programme (MMP) is envisaged to help students who are facing academic

    difficulties. The focus of this programme is to help students who are placed under the status ofAcademic Probation, Academic Probation and Warning and Academic Dismissal (reinstatedafter appeal) in a particular semester, to improve their academic performance through regularmeeting/discussion with their appointed Mentor.

    Under this programme, a Mentee will be placed under the supervision of a Mentor, who will monitorthe academic progress and provide motivation for Mentee to excel in their studies.

    8.2 Definitions

    8.2.1 MentorA mentor is an academic staff assigned by Head of Department to monitor the Menteesacademic performance.

    8.2.2 MenteeA student assigned to a Mentor upon obtaining academic result that places the student underAcademic Probation, Academic Probation and Warning and Academic Dismissal.

    8.3 What is the Mentor Mentee Programme?

    8.3.1 Purpose and ObjectivesThe purpose of MMP is to assist students who are placed under Academic Probation (GPA orCGPA less than 2.0/4.0) during a particular semester.

    The objectives of this programme are as follows:

    i.

    To assist Mentee (students) in improving their academic performance.ii. To monitor the progress of a Mentees academic performance.iii. To ensure that the Mentee achieves the desired academic performance at the end of the

    semester.

    8.3.2 Roles of a Mentori. To establish a caring, genuine and open relationship that encourages learning.ii. To monitor Mentees progress towards academic performance.iii. To find/suggest solutions to overcome the Mentees problem in learning, i.e. - time

    management, smart learning, registration of courses and etc (to assist students inobtaining the desired semester results).

    8.3.3 Roles of a Menteei. To be responsible for their academic performance and to cooperate with their Mentor to

    improve their academic performance.ii. To attend talks or workshops organised for them by the University.iii. To meet the Mentor fortnightly according to the pre-arranged schedule.iv. To seek advice and opinion of the Mentor regarding their academic matters.

    Chemical Engineering involves the application of engineering principles to the design, construction andoperation of industrial processing plants. A chemical engineer generally works at any industrial processingplant such as those dealing with petrochemicals, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, semiconductors and foodprocessing. The job involves supervision of plant operation and maintenance, troubleshooting operational

    problems related to process, and undertaking plant modification work for process operability and safetyimprovement.

    The Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) Chemical programme stresses the need for a strong foundation inMathematics, Physics and Chemistry, followed by a thorough coverage of basic engineering courses suchas Fluid Mechanics, Thermodynamics and Mass/Heat Transfer. In the later years of study, students areexposed to unit operations, reaction engineering, safety & environment, process control and processdesign.

    In addition to the above, at the end of their studies a student will have the opportunity to take specialtopics in one of these selected areas of interest:

    Industrial Environmental Engineering Process Plant Engineering Gas and Petrochemical Engineering Process Analysis and Control Process Plant Safety

    1.1 Programme Educational Objectivesi. To produce technically qualified Chemical Engineers with the potential to become leaders in chemical

    process industries with emphasis on Oil and Gas.ii. To produce Chemical Engineers who are committed to sustainable development of chemical process

    industries for the betterment of society and nation.

    1.2

    Programme Outcomes

    To produce well-rounded graduates with the following outcomes:i. Acquire and apply knowledge of basic sciences and engineering fundamentalsii. Acquire and apply Chemical Engineering principles and in-depth technical knowledgeiii. Ability to design, optimize and operate processesiv.
