2.7. Academic Degrees
After completing the international under-
graduate degree in Engineering, students will
gain the two academic degrees:
• B.E. (Bachelor of Engineering) degree
form partner universities accredited
by the Institute of Engineers Australia
(IEAust) and the Ministry of National
Education of Republic of Indonesia, or
• B.Design (Bachelor of Design) or B.App.
Sci (Bachelor of Applied Science) from
partner universities for Architecture
program.
• S.T. (Sarjana Teknik) degree from Uni-
versity of Indonesia, the same degree
awarded to the engineering undergrad-
uate program graduates accredited by
the Ministry of National Education of
Republic of Indonesia.
Requirements for an S.T. degree are:
• Keep their administrative registration
at FTUI for the whole duration of their
study at partner universities.
• Satisfactory completion of the academ-
ic program in partner universities.
• Completion of all of the required cours-
es at UI with grades equal to or better
than C.
• Total length of study spent at UI and
partner university not longer than
twelve semesters.
• Students take and complete final proj-
ect at the end of their study in Australia
and present their final project results
to Faculties in their home Department
in FTUI.
2.8. On-the-Job Training
Students must complete on-the-job training
when they are in the partner universities in
Australia as one of the requirements set by
the Institute of Engineers Australia (IEAust) to
obtain accredited B.E (Bachelor of Engineer-
ing) degree. On-the-job training is a good
opportunity for students to apply their skills
and build networks in industry. It is strongly
suggested that students do their Job Train-
ing in Australia. However, if they cannot do
it in Australia, they are allowed to do it in
Indonesia with prior permission from partner
University.
2.9. Student Record, Academic
Transcript and Diploma
Students’ record, academic transcript and
diploma can be obtained from the Faculty
Administration Center (PAF). Students’ re-
cord and academic transcript list the names,
codes, and grades of all of the courses at-
tempted by a student and also show the cu-
mulative GPA. Student record is issued only
if requested by a student, while, academic
transcript is automatically issued when a
student finishes his/her study. Graduates of
the international double degree program will
get transcripts and diplomas from both UI and
the partner university. Those who choose to
get their S.T. degree must obtain their B.E
or B.Design or B.App.Sci degree from the
partner university and return to UI to present
their final project.
2.10. Requirements for Trans-
fer to University Partners
in Australia
Minimum requirement of GPA and English
before transferring to partner university
is listed in Table 3. Eligible students can
continue their study to partner universi-
ties in Australia if they fulfill the following

requirements:
1. Achieve minimum GPA as required at the
end fourth semester for the 4+4 pro-
gram;
2. Passed all required subjects with minimum
C.
3. Achieve minimum IELTS or TOEFL scores as
required.
4. If GPA less than required, the students must
stay at UI and repeat some subjects to
improve their GPA, while administratively
and academically registered at FTUI.
5. If GPA meets minimum requirement, but
IELTS or TOEFL scores less than mini-
mum requirement, they are suggested
to improve their IELTS or TOEFL score in
Indonesia and maintain administrative
registration at FTUI. Other choice is to
take English for Academic Purposes (EAP)
at the partner university. Information on
duration and schedule of EAP can be found
at the partner university’s website.

There were two programs established
almost concurrently in 1981. Initially, the
Gas Technology Program was founded under
the Department of Metallurgy to fulfill the
national needs of engineers in the field of gas
liquefaction. Through the cooperation with
PERTAMINA, the Program has obtained some
supports in the forms of limited educational
fund, industrial-experienced teaching staffs,
on-the-job training sites for students, as well
as educational visits to related industries.
In the same year a Chemical Engineering
Program was established under the
Department of Mechanical Engineering.
This Program was directed to address the
human resource insufficiency related to
the industrial development in Chemical
Engineering field in Indonesia. In 1985, the
two programs were integrated into the Gas
and Petrochemical Engineering Department,
which offers the chemical engineering
study program with strong points in gas and
petrochemical technology courses.
Starting the academic year of 1985/1986,
the Department of Gas and Petrochemical
Engineering has been admitting students
from the first semester through the New
Students Admission System (SIPENMARU). The
previous fifth-semester admission program
was continued until the year of 1986.
In 2006, The Department of Gas and
Petrochemical Engineering changed into the
Department of Chemical Engineering.
VISION AND MISSION
Inline with the vision of the University of
Indonesia and the engineering faculty, the
Chemical Engineering Department has a
vision
“to become a leading national, regional,
and international Chemical Engineering
Department for education and research in
chemical engineering”.
The Chemical Engineering Department as an
integral part of the University of Indonesia is
obligated to carry out the University mission
to educate the nation by developing science,
technology, culture and art; and providing
scholars who are faithful and devout,
noble, intelligent, competent, dignified,
stable, autonomous and have high social
responsibility.
The ChED-UI has three primary missions:
instruction, research and service. The
instructional mission is the most important
and complex whereas the Department
seeks to provide the highest quality of
undergraduate and postgraduate education.
The Department will provide a broad-based
education and design experience, enabling
students to address complex chemical
engineering problems with strong point on
gas and petrochemical fields. Furthermore,
the Department will provide students
with fundamental elements to evolve
in the profession in response to rapidly
changing technology and societal needs and
expectations. In research, the Department
seeks to impart the knowledge and provide
the intellectual environment that will foster
the highest level of research and critical-
innovative thinking. And finally in service,
the Department seeks to assist in solving
the problems facing society. This includes
the obligation to identify new and evolving
societal problems as well as providing the
time and effort needed to address existing
problems.

ciples underpin advances in biotechnology
and biological engineering. Examples of the
application of these principles to industrial
processes will be given. This course provides
you with the basic knowledge in biochem-
istry, microbiology, molecular biology and
biotechnology required for multidisciplinary
projects and will also provide the background
to proceed further in courses associated with
biological engineering.
CHEE3004
Unit Operations
2 CP
Course Description: Selected important
unit operations in solids handling (hopper

transfer (furnaces, distillation, drying,
membrane separation, leaching, bioprocess
separation).
Assumed Background: All CHEE2XXX and
CHEE3XXX (sem 1) courses
Course Introduction: Unit Operations in
Chemical Engineering deals with the change
of substances (gases, liquids, solids) by means
of physical, chemical and biological processes
for industrial purposes. This definition shows
that chemical engineering is a very large and
diverse field. The question is: can a single
scientific discipline treat such a large field?
The first answer to this question was given
by Arthur D. Little in 1915 when he coined
the term ‘Unit Operation’: Any chemical
process, on whatever scale conducted, may
be resolved into a coordinated series of what
may be termed ‘Unit Actions’, as pulverising,
mixing, heating, roasting, absorbing, con-
densing, lixiviating, electrolysing and so on.
The number of these basic Unit Operations is
not very large and relatively few of them are
involved in any particular process. The com-
plexity of chemical engineering results from
the variety of conditions as to temperature,
pressure, etc., under which the unit actions
must be carried out in different processes
and from the limitations as to materials of
construction and design of apparatus imposed
by the physical and chemical character of the
reacting substances (from A.D. Little: Report
to the Corporation of M.I.T., as published in
the AIChE Silver Anniversary Volume, p. 7).
The introduction and definition of the term
‘Unit Operation’ by Arthur D. Little was the
first step in the attempt to reduce the variety
of technical processes to the fundamental
laws of mathematics, physics, chemistry, and
mechanics. At the same time it triggered the
development to replace empirical knowledge
by mathematical models that give an approxi-
mate description of the real processes. Table
1 shows an overview of the most important
unit operations. Note that unit operations
involving chemical changes are sometimes
referred to as ‘Unit Processes’, a term coined
by R.N. Shreve. The further development of
the ‘Unit Operations’ concept showed that
the process of abstraction can be carried on
by analysing unit operations in terms of fun-
damental principles such as mass and energy
balances, phase equilibria, and transport of
momentum, energy and mass. The beginning
of this era is commonly attributed to the pub-
lication of the book “Transport Phenomena”
by Bird, Stewart, and Lightfoot in 1960.

reactors. Catalytic & non-catalytic heteroge-
neous reactions. Transport effects. Multiple

Assumed Background: Familiarity with
principles of material and energy balances,
thermodynamics of reaction equilibria, basic
concepts of heat and mass transfer, calculus
and solution of linear ordinary differential
equations.
Course Introduction: Reaction engineering
deals with the performance analysis and de-
sign of equipment for carrying out chemical
reactions. The analysis involves principles of
chemical kinetics, thermodynamics, heat and
mass transfer as well as fluid mechanics. In
Department of Chemical Engineering
the present course we will start with basic
principles of chemical kinetics and reaction
equilibrium, and then consider various ideal
reactors in which the complexities arising
from resistances associated with fluid flow
as well as heat and mass transfer are gradu-
ally added. Both homogeneous as well as
heterogeneous catalytic systems will be
considered.
Those students undertaking the dual Chemi-
cal & Metallurgical Engineering degree will
undertake a series of lectures on the reac-
tion engineering of aqueous/particulate and
pyrometallurgical systems instead of the lec-
tures on non-isothermal and heterogeneous
catalytic systems.
Assessment for the course will be in three
parts:
Part A: Assessment for those sections of the
course undertaken by both the Chemical
Engineering and Chemical/Metallurgical
Engineering students.
Part B: Assessment for that section of the
course undertaken by Chemical Engineering
students only.
Part C: Assessment for that section of the
course undertaken by the Chemical/Metal-
lurgical Engineering students only.

Process & Control System Synthesis
2 CP
Course Description: Synthesis of a process
flowsheet & control system. Flexibility & op-
erability of design. Control system synthesis
for an entire flowsheet, basic instrumenta-
tion, feedback & feedforward control &
discrete event system design. Integration of
process modelling skills.
Course Introduction: Process synthesis and
control system synthesis are critical process
engineering skills. This course introduces
students to systematic procedures for syn-
thesising both process flowsheets and process
control systems. Students will firstly synthe-
sise a process flowsheet for a novel process
that highlights sustainable design, either
through choice of feedstock or features of the
process such as recycling or waste treatment.
They will then synthesise the control system
for the entire flowsheet.
The course also introduces PID feedback
control and feedforward control. Students
will be required to design PID and feedfor-
ward controllers for a specific unit operation
which was included in the flowsheet which
they synthesised earlier. This is done via
computer simulation. In doing this, we also
look at the use of models for process control.
In particular, we look at determining useful
process models by performing step tests on
the process.
The final module of the course looks at dis-
crete event control systems. These are used
for control of batch processes and control
of process start-up and shut-down. Students
will be required to specify a discrete event
control system for one of the units on their
flowsheet.
CHEE3007
Process Modelling & Dynamics
2 CP
Course Description: Mathematical process

based on process data is emphasised.
126
Assumed Background:
1. Basic principles of physics including
conservation of mass, energy and
momentum plus mass and heat transfer
principles.
2. Elementary mathematics for engineering
such as algebraic and ordinary differential
equations.
3. Basic matrix operations and the calculation
of eigenvalues from simple square
matrices.

tested on your competence and will be
obliged to do extra work if you are not up
to a sufficient standard. Modules on the
Chemical Engineering website will help.
Course Introduction: We live in a “model-
centric” engineering world where modelling
is regarded as a basic tool for decision making
across the whole product and process life
cycle. This underscores the importance of
this course since everyone will use models
or the outputs of models for their decision
making. This covers financial, engineering,
risk, human factors and related modelling
application areas. Hence the need to un-
derstand what types of models exist, their
construction and documentation and finally
how they are used to support all the process
life cycle activities.
