Diploma in Chemical Engineering (DCHE - S70)

OVERVIEW

Chemical engineering is the discipline which integrates sciences with applied mathematics and engineering principles. It takes laboratory ideas and turns them into value-added products using sustainable, cost-effective, safe and cutting-edge processes for the chemical industry.

Some famous chemical engineers in history include John McKeen, who designed the first industrial-scale production of penicillin that saved thousands of soldiers’ lives during World War II; Carl Bosch who invented the Haber-Bosch process to produce ammonia, a critical ingredient in synthetic fertilisers that enable us to produce enough food to feed the Earth’s growing population.

Join us if you aspire to be like the above prominent chemical engineers who make real, significant impacts in improving our world for a better tomorrow!

The three year-journey in SP has prepared me to be more ready and confident to go further in my studies and to eventually join the workforce. The practical sessions, in particular, helped me understand many engineering concepts better and provided me with a hands-on experience that I might not have obtained in classroom learning. The internship opportunity at A*STAR Institute of Bioengineering and Nanotechnology gave me a taste of what the workplace is like and what I want to focus on in the near future.

The rigour provided by SP Chemical Engineering course has provided me with the opportunity to strengthen my knowledge and skills to be workforce ready. Furthermore, SP has provided opportunities to hone my work ethics and shaped me to be more prepared for future challenges that lie ahead. The skills acquired would also put me in good stead as I embark on my undergraduate journey. I am very grateful for all the support and guidance from all my lecturers and peers throughout the three years in SP.

I believe that being a Jack of all trades can be better than a master of one, as versatility and adaptability are essential in today's fast-paced world. The DCHE course has taught me a multitude of skills, from technical expertise to interpersonal communication. I developed a passion for product design and other engineering specialisations that I never thought I would enjoy. With a diverse skill set and a broad knowledge base, I am well-equipped to face any challenges that lie ahead.
