US6524006 - Bachelor of Bioprocess Engineering Technology with Honours

  • OVERVIEW

    Bioprocess Engineering Technology (a four-year program) is the sub-discipline within Biotechnology and Chemical Engineering that combines living matter, in the form of organisms or enzymes, with nutrients under specic optimal conditions to make the desired product. The discipline is responsible for translating discoveries of life sciences into practical and industrial products processes and techniques that can serve the need of the society. The stages involved in Bioprocess Engineering Technology includes the preparation stage vis-à-vis the raw materials, substrates and media, the conversion state, biocatalysts, downstream processing, volume production, purication and nal product processing. Graduates from this programme will also have the knowledge and skill to understand the fundamental bioprocess research and relate it to the industrial scale. This program is provisionally accredited by Board of Engineer Malaysia (BEM).
    The Bioprocess Engineering Technology curriculum is spread over four (4) years of studies, with great emphasis placed on the logical sequence of related courses and at the same time, ensuring that the teaching-learning activities are equally distributed throughout the study period.

    Lectures will be mainly delivered in English
    Examination: Bilingual (Bahasa Malaysia & English)

    This programme requires candidate to attend an interview
