Join us in congratulating our Bachelor of Chemical Engineering with Honours Year 3 students, Ng Cheong Yi, Tresa Au Wen Xin, and Taa Qi Hang, on their excellent achievement at An Engineering Challenge (AEC) 2026!

Organised by the Chemical Engineering Undergraduate Club (CEUC), University of Malaya, the Technical Case Study competition was held on 18 April 2026 at the University of Malaya (UM) and saw participation from 35 teams. We are proud to share that our students emerged as First Runner-Up in this highly competitive event.

Their project, “Zero Discharge in the Textile Industry in Malaysia,” focused on resource recovery and carbon mitigation strategies, contributing towards Net Zero goals and sustainable green industry practices. This accomplishment reflects their strong technical skills, teamwork, and dedication to engineering solutions for a sustainable future.

We also extend our heartfelt appreciation to the team advisors, Ir. Dr Yoon Li Wan and Ir. Dr Ayu Haslija Abu Bakar from the School of Engineering, for their invaluable guidance and support.

Once again, congratulations to our students and their academic mentors on this commendable achievement!
