Adjunct Lecture

The Adjunct Lecture initiative in Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS (UTP) enriches academic learning by connecting core engineering principles with real industrial practices, current challenges, and professional expectations. Adjunct lectures are delivered by senior engineers, technical specialists, and industry leaders from sectors such as oil & gas, energy, chemicals, manufacturing, and emerging technologies. Their involvement ensures that students gain first-hand exposure to industry realities, beyond textbooks and conventional lectures.

From Industry to UTP

Adjunct lecture, conducted by the Chemical Engineering department in collaboration with industry partners to enhance industry-relevant learning.

Through structured lectures, case studies, and interactive discussions, adjunct lecturers share:

Real industrial case studies and lessons learned
Practical applications of process design, safety, and operations
Current industry standards, technologies, and best practices
Insights into professional roles, career pathways, and workplace culture

These sessions enable students to gain a deeper understanding of how theoretical knowledge is applied in complex, real-world engineering environments.

Adjunct lecture session led by an industry professional, engaging students through real-world engineering experience sharing.

Student Engagement and Professional Development

Adjunct lectures also serve as an important platform for professional development, helping students to:

Strengthen technical communication and critical thinking skills
Engage confidently with industry practitioners
Appreciate safety, ethics, and professional responsibility
Build awareness of diverse career opportunities in engineering
Interactive Q&A sessions and post-lecture discussions further enhance student learning and engagement.

Adjunct lecture on career pathways and industry expectations, providing students with insights into professional roles and employability.

The Adjunct Lecture programme strengthens collaboration between academia and industry, ensuring that graduates are industry-ready, professionally grounded, and aligned with the evolving demands of engineering.

Industry professionals interested in contributing as Adjunct Lecturers are welcome to collaborate with the Chemical Engineering Department, Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS.
