Think Chemical Engineering Is Just Theory? Think Again.

SEGi University’s Chemical Engineering students recently gained real-world insights into sustainable manufacturing during a field trip to Ajinomoto (Malaysia) Berhad’s state-of-the-art factory in Bandar Enstek, Negeri Sembilan. Organised by the IChemE SEGi Student Chapter in collaboration with the Department of Chemical Engineering, this experiential visit brought 30 students face-to-face with industrial practices that blend process optimisation, quality assurance, and environmental responsibility.

The visit opened with an engaging briefing by factory representatives, including the ever-passionate Uncle Bey, who shared the fascinating journey of Ajinomoto’s evolution from the discovery of monosodium glutamate (MSG) to becoming a global leader in food seasonings, healthcare, and electronic materials. Students were introduced to the company’s diversified operations, showcasing how chemical engineering principles are applied far beyond the classroom.
