The Faculty of Chemical Engineering at UiTM Pulau Pinang was incepted in June 2005, two years after the full establishment of Faculty of Chemical Engineering at Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM), Shah Alam. The establishment of the Faculty of Chemical Engineering at UiTM Pulau Pinang completes the long-term UiTM’s strategic planning to have the biggest engineering campus offering all engineering disciplines. Even though it only started as a department under the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering when the programme of Bachelor of Engineering (Hons) Chemical was first introduced in June 2000, chemical engineering has long existed in UiTM since 1972 through the Industrial Chemistry Programme, which was offered under the Faculty of Applied Sciences. In the latest development, FKK has changed its name to Pusat Pengajian Kejuruteraan Kimia following the merger of all engineering faculties under College of Engineering.

Bachelor of Chemical Engineering (Environment) with honours (EH225), is a 4-year programme and is aimed to produce chemical engineering graduates suitable to work in various chemical and/ or environmental industries. The academic programme offered has been developed in line with the science and technology developments as well as the current industrial needs to provide the highest level of chemical engineering courses related to environment. The outcome based education approach emphasizes on the generic skills which students shall acquire upon completion of their studies. The Faculty also aspires to complete customer satisfaction with a world class standard by seeking accreditation from professional bodies locally and abroad.
