Bachelor of Polymer Engineering with Honours
Polymer engineering field concerns the structure and characteristics of polymer materials which have engineering applications. The polymer engineering curriculum emphasises on the student's understanding of the basic knowledge of polymer characteristics such as thermoplastics, elastomers, and thermosets, as well as their processing methods. Polymer characteristics include related aspects covering structures, rheology, testing and characterisation. The polymer processing meanwhile covers basic knowledge and techniques in thermoplastics processing, thermoset and rubber, operation methods, manufacturing processes, as well as the relationship between processing parameters and product quality.
Apart from the core courses, students are also equipped with other polymer engineering courses such as composite polymer, polymer application, engineers in society, mould and die design. Elective courses are also offered which include environmental friendly polymer, polymer adhesive and coating, polymer in biomedical applications and photoluminescent polymers and their applications. At the end of their study, graduates from this programme are able to design polymer-based products as well as applying their knowledge and resources which contribute to the development of polymer engineering.

The Programme Educational Objective (PEO) are broad statements that describe the expected professional and career attributes to be achieved by graduates within 3 to 5 years after graduation. These are demonstrated either in a graduate's career path or in their professional life advancement. The PEOs adopted for BEE, are developed to be consistent with the Vision and Mission of UniMAP and FTKE. In this section, the Vision and Mission of UniMAP and FTKE are firstly described and followed by the establishment of PEO statements for BEE. Then, the PEO evaluation mechanisms, attainment results, and the Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) actions are presented and discussed. The involvement of the stakeholders in the establishment and review of the PEO statements, PEO attainments, and CQI processes are also included. PEOs of BEE together with the performance indicators. The attainability of the PEOs are measured through a set of indicators and Key Performance Indicator (KPI). The focus of PEOs will be given to assessment involving career advancement, professional and society, and lifelong learning.
PEO1
