SEGi University’s rising stars in Chemical Engineering proved their mettle at the prestigious An Engineering Challenge 2025 (AEC 2025), hosted by Universiti Malaya. Themed Unleashing Engineer’s Potential, the nationwide competition ran from 24 February to 26 April 2025 and drew participation from top universities across Malaysia. Among the standout achievements, SEGi’s Tang Yu Le clinched third place in the Technical Essay Writing Competition with a compelling paper on nanotechnology in wastewater treatment—an entry that captured both scientific precision and real-world relevance.
Yu Le attributed his win to the Darwinian Initiative for Chemical Engineering (DICE) programme, a platform empowering students to engage with industry projects under expert mentorship. His experience working with Assoc. Prof. Ir. Dr. Chan Mieow Kee on nanoparticle and membrane separation technologies enabled him to craft a nuanced, data-driven essay. His accomplishment reflects the growing importance of nanotechnology in environmental engineering, a sector gaining global momentum. According to the Global Nanotechnology Market Report 2023, the sector is expected to reach USD 125 billion by 2027, driven largely by applications in water purification and sustainability.
