Students from the Bachelor of Chemical Engineering Technology (Industrial Chemical Process) programme at the Faculty of Chemical Engineering & Technology (FKTK), Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP), recently gained valuable real-world exposure through a series of industrial visits to UMW Lubetech and Top Glove.
The visits provided students with first-hand insights into industrial operations, allowing them to observe how chemical engineering principles are applied in real manufacturing environments.
At UMW Lubetech, students were exposed to the production and management of high-performance lubricants, gaining a deeper understanding of process systems, quality control, and the integration of advanced technologies in lubricant manufacturing.
Meanwhile, the visit to Top Glove offered students a comprehensive view of large-scale glove manufacturing and polymer processing, highlighting industry practices within one of the world’s leading glove producers.
Through both visits, students were able to connect theoretical knowledge with practical applications, enhancing their understanding of industrial processes and preparing them for future careers in the chemical and process industries.
The students were accompanied by FKTK lecturers, Dr. Siti Kartini, Dr. Nik Muhammad Azhar, Dr. Mohd Asraf, and Miss Azlinda, who guided and supported the learning experience throughout the programme.
FKTK extends its sincere appreciation to the management and staff of both organisations for their warm hospitality and valuable knowledge sharing. These engagements reflect FKTK’s continuous commitment to strengthening industry linkages and producing graduates who are well-prepared for real-world challenges.
