This paper details the curriculum revamp effort aimed at improving design-build experience for Diploma in Chemical Engineering students at Singapore Polytechnic. It describes how chemical product engineering is being introduced into the curriculum to provide students with an integrated coverage of skills in conceiving, designing, implementing and operating an engineering system using chemical engineering principles across the three years of study.  The paper first explains the challenges faced during the execution of final year (capstone) projects, for which all graduating Year 3 students must complete. The existing curriculum lacked a consistent approach that facilitate students in conceiving viable engineering product or system by applying various chemical engineering principles learnt over the years. Also discussed is the mismatch between the aims of an institutional module (i.e. module to be subscribed by all diplomas) to equip students with an understanding of design process with applications in chemical engineering.  It then explores the emergence of chemical product engineering, and described how we integrate this “third paradigm” of chemical engineering into our curriculum. A brief literature review is presented, and the scope of coverage at diploma level is discussed. We introduced a Year 2 module Product Design and Development that provides a systematic coverage of chemical product design; and briefly discuss changes made to the assessment of Year 3 Final Year Project to better reflect different learning outcome inherent in different projects genres. Feedback obtained from student surveys was also discussed: Year 2 students on their learning experience with Product Design and Development, and Year 3 students on difficulties and challenges faced during execution of their Final Year Project.  Lastly, the paper outlines future work that aim to further improve the teaching of Product Design and Development, and to enhance design-build experience that integrates design thinking, chemical product design and relevant elements of the original institutional module, as well as to integrate product and process designs.
