Statistics of engineer graduates in Malaysia
Based on the Education Ministry’s statistics from 1997 to 2017, the average number of engineers produced per year by local institutions of higher learning – excluding graduates from foreign universities – is about 16,000. The cumulative total of all engineers produced from 1997 to 2017 is estimated to be about 341,109.
For Malaysia with a population of 32 million, the number of engineers should be 300,000. It may appear that the number of engineers produced is sufficient for Malaysia, but there are only 128,000 professional and graduate engineers, who are registered with the Board of Engineers Malaysia (BEM).
This number is large enough, which means you will probably have a good chance of marrying an engineer. Next, we must get to know closely who is a chemical engineer.
Who is a chemical engineer?
Chemical engineers use chemistry, physics, and math along with engineering tools to solve problems relating to the production and use of the chemical. This includes refining petroleum, purifying drinking water, treating waste, recovering raw materials, producing and processing food. They can work in chemical manufacturing, electronics, pollution control, even medicine and food processing.
Most chemical engineers work in manufacturing industries, in research and development labs, production plants or management. Some provide engineering services as consultants in research and testing. design or policy. The environment and hours that they work vary with the industry and kind of job.
A chemical engineer should have these identities; want to keep things getting better, think creatively, can work in a team or alone, focused, patient, enjoy big challenges, and can use and remember important facts and details.
