The CBE course provides you with the foundation and flexibility to enter various industries, ranging from chemical, petrochemical, biochemical, biotechnology, biomedical and pharmaceutical to food & beverage, electronics, and environment, health and safety.
Here are some roles that you can look forward to:

The module introduces students to basic chemical and biomolecular engineering concepts and applications, for example, units and dimensions, material balance calculations, reaction stoichiometry, reaction engineering, fluid mechanics, and fundamental concepts in biology. Upon completion of this module, students will be able to undertake basic chemical and biomolecular engineering calculations.

Data Analytics and Engineering Drawing (3 Credit Units)

The module introduces basic data analytics which includes data processing as well as data visualization. Students will be trained in identifying the proper form of data representation in technical communication. In addition, the module also provides hands-on practice of AutoCAD in engineering drafting to allow students to appreciate the use of computer software in the engineering field.

Engineering Mathematics 1 (6 Credit Units)

The module provides students with adequate foundation of Engineering Mathematics that will enable them to acquire specialist mathematical skills for their career and/or further studies. Students will also use a mathematical software package to solve mathematical problems.

Inorganic & Physical Chemistry (4 Credit Units)

The module introduces the basic principles of inorganic and physical chemistry and relevant laboratory techniques for the students. After completion of the module, students will have sufficient knowledge in inorganic and physical chemistry concepts as an important foundation for other subjects in subsequent years in the Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering diploma course.

English Language Express* (Credit Units - NA)

English Language Express aims to give you a better grounding in the English Language and to strengthen the written and oral communications skills that you will need in your academic and professional careers. You will be engaged in writing, reading, listening and speaking activities that will develop your ability to speak and write grammatically, coherently and clearly. You will also hone your reading and listening comprehension skills.

This module is part of the Education and Career Guidance framework to provide students with the tools and resources necessary for their career and/or further education. In this first module, students will undergo personal discovery and exploration of industry and career prospects. Students will learn how to plan and set achievable goals in preparation for their future. Students will also learn the importance of passion and professionalism, along with basic teamwork and interpersonal skills.

Engineering Mathematics 2 (4 Credit Units)

The module introduces the basic principles of organic chemistry and relevant laboratory techniques for the students. These include classification and reactivity of functional groups, nomenclature system, polymerization process, and isomerism. The module also discussed important biological molecules, such as carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and enzymes, from the perspectives of their chemical structures.

In this module, students will study the fundamental concepts of thermodynamics and fluid mechanics. Topics include the first and second laws of thermodynamics, properties of liquids and vapours, non-flow processes and steady flow processes with steam and perfect gases. The concepts of pressure, pressure head, and pressure measurement will also be discussed.

The VOICE module aims to empower students to become thoughtful and confident communicators able to tailor a message to suit audience, purpose and context. Students will learn how to use storytelling structures and techniques, persuasive strategies and effective visuals to connect meaningfully with their audience. Through a personalised growth plan, the module encourages students to reflect, set goals and take ownership of their growth and development as communicators. The module employs engaging teaching strategies such as games, thinking routines, masterclasses and workshops, and a celebratory showcase festival at the end to make learning fun and exciting.

Health & Wellness (1 Credit Unit)

This is a Level 1 Core module for all Year 1 students. The module will introduce students to the importance of maintaining both physical and mental health through the knowledge and monitoring of health indicators, and application through appropriate exercises. The aim of the module is to empower students with basic knowledge and skills to be independent and responsible in maintaining overall personal health.

This module teaches students some common separation and characterisation instruments and instrumental techniques used in the laboratory and provides hands-on learning opportunities. These techniques include UV-visible spectrophotometry (UV-Vis), gas liquid chromatography (GLC), high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS).

Career & Professional Preparation 2 (2 Credit Units)

This module is part of the Education and Career Guidance framework to provide students with the tools and resources necessary for their further career and/or education. In this module, students will explore basic job search strategies, practice writing effective resumes and cover letters, and learn interview skills. Students will also learn professional and intercultural communication skills to prepare them for a dynamic and diverse workplace.

This module is designed to provide students with basic skills in chemical and biological reactor operations and design, combining and building upon knowledge of chemistry and mathematics gained in the first year of the Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering diploma course. Reaction engineering is one of the major skills, which distinguishes chemical engineering from other engineering disciplines. Students will also learn the biological reaction such as fermentation and continuous bioprocessing.

The module provides students with the opportunity to operate common chemical engineering equipment used in reaction engineering and fluid flow. These include the use of batch and continuous reactors, pumps, compressor, and friction measurement. Students will also practice the process of experiment designs and project management through a lab based learning approach.
