|
| 1983 | First batch of BEng (Chemical) graduates |
|
| 1979 | The economic restructuring in the late 70s presented developments that provided many opportunities for chemical engineers and it became necessary to transfer the Department of Chemical Engineering to the Faculty of Engineering | |
| 1978 | First batch of BSc (Chemical Engineering) graduates | |
| 1975 | The continued expansion of the chemical process industry created a real substantial demand for chemical engineers and this led to a separation of the Applied Chemistry Section from the Department of Chemistry in 1975 to become the Department of Chemical Engineering in the Faculty of Science. | |
| 1967 | First batch of BSc (Applied Chemistry) graduates | |
| 1963 | Applied Chemistry was introduced in the Department of Chemistry in the Faculty of Science in the then University of Singapore to meet the manpower needs of the young and growing chemical process industry. |
