摘要：AbstractDisclosure of extra-curricular activities among students is a catalyst to foster creativity and innovation capacity in them. It was seen as an added value in building and improving communication skills, leadership and cooperation between groups, apart from having a competent knowledge in a competent engineer. Furthermore, these elements also meet the Outcome Based Education curriculum (OBE), which was adopted by the Faculty of Engineering and Built Environment Engineering since 2005. Based on the requirements of this OBE, Department of Chemical and Process Engineering (JKKP), Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM), has successfully organized a Chem-E-Car Competition at UKM since 2005. Chem-E-Car is an extra-curricular activity in groups among the students of Chemical and Biochemical Engineering. This paper describes the history of Chem-E-Car competition at UKM, the method of implementation and student achievement through the Chem-E-Car activity. This activity has contributed and provided opportunities for students to develop generic skills. Furthermore, it also raised the name of UKM in the country and internationally.
