Standing out as a professional body that awards Chartered Engineer, Chartered Scientist and Chartered Environmentalist titles, IChemE has its vision of building and sustaining an international professional community; promoting and developing chemical engineering; providing support to individuals and others who practice chemical engineering and; encouraging communication among chemical engineers and their interaction with other engineering disciplines.
It is indeed an honor for University of Malaya to be part of this prestigious professional body. Prof. Ir. Dr. Abdul Aziz is an active member for the past 9 years. We believe that under the leadership of Prof Dr. Aziz, there will be greater synergy between the industry, UM and IChemE. His first-hand knowledge on the latest industrial needs will definitely help the university to contribute to the developmental needs of the nation, especially in the field of chemical engineering.
