Master of Environmental Engineering programme has successfully conducted the Final Semester Project Presentation on 3rd February 2026 at Bilik Sidang, Faculty of Engineering, UPM. The students were evaluated by appointed examiners among the programme lecturers, with constructive feedback throughout the session.

Congratulations to all students on the successful completion of your projects. We would also like to extend our appreciation to the examiners for their valuable guidance and commitment. Wishing our graduates continued success in their professional and academic journeys.

The Department of Chemical and Environmental Engineering participated in a workshop organised by the Deputy Dean of Postgraduate and International, held at the Glenmarie Hotel & Golf Resort from 23–25 January 2026.

The workshop focused on the review and refinement of Programme Learning Outcomes (PLO) in accordance with the Malaysian Qualifications Framework (MQF) 2.0 (2024), as well as the development of MQA Table 4. Three Master coursework programmes underwent the review process, namely the Master of Environmental Engineering (MEE), Master of Environmental Technology Management (METM), and Master in Process Safety and Loss Prevention (MPSLP).

The workshop provided a valuable platform for constructive discussion and curriculum enhancement. The department extends its sincere appreciation to the TDSA Office for their commitment and efforts in organising the workshop.

Students and lecturers from the Master of Environmental Engineering programme visited Atoz Carbon Cycle (ACC) in Sekinchan on 10 December 2025. The visit provided valuable exposure to how this Malaysian sustainability platform integrates microalgae cultivation and Black Soldier Fly (BSF) farming to reduce carbon emissions and recycle organic waste through regenerative biotechnology.

The programme featured an informative briefing and demonstrations by Ms. Jean, Dr. Baizura, and Dr. Zheng, who shared insights into ACC’s innovative approaches to carbon capture, waste valorisation, and circular economy practices; giving us valuable insight into real-world environmental engineering applications.

The Programme Study Committee (JKPP) meeting for the Master of Environmental Technology Management was successfully held on 19 January 2026 at the Faculty of Engineering, Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM).

The meeting was officiated by the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic and International), YBhg. Prof. Ir. Dr. Abd. Rahim bin Abu Talib, and was graced by the presence of the Dean of the Faculty of Engineering, YBhg. Prof. Ir. Dr. Mohd Zainal Abidin Ab. Kadir, together with the Deputy Dean (Postgraduate & International), YBhg. Prof. Ts. Dr. Mohd Razif Harun.

Key discussions focused on strengthening the programme through the proposed renaming of the programme, presentation of the Programme Educational Objectives (PEO), refinement of the study plan, and a comprehensive review of course contents. These efforts reflect UPM’s continuous commitment to enhancing academic quality and ensuring the programme remains relevant to current and future environmental management challenges.

We sincerely thank all committee members for their strong commitment, valuable input, and constructive contributions throughout the meeting.
