BACKGROUND OF UNIVERSITI TEKNOLOGI MALAYSIA Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) was first established on the 14th of March 1972 under the name of Institut Teknologi Kebangsaan (ITK). On the 1st of April 1975, the name was changed to Universiti Teknologi Malaysia. Although UTM was considered as a new university then, as a technical institution, it had actually existed since 1925 by the name of Kuala Lumpur Technical School. The School initially trained technicians for the Public Works Department and was later opened to other civil servants in 1930. In 1946, the government upgraded the status of the Technical School to a Technical College. However, the construction of the college only started in 1951 at Jalan Gurney, Kuala Lumpur and completed in 1955. In 1960, the Technical College began to offer engineering courses on a professional level. Students pursuing these courses were required to sit for professional examinations conducted by the Institution of Civil Engineers, Institution of Mechanical Engineers and the Institution of Electrical Engineers, United Kingdom. Degree courses were first offered in 1969, when the Planning Committee for Higher Learning recognized the college as a university-level technical institute. On the 14th of March 1972, His Majesty Yang Di Pertuan Agong proclaimed the establishment of Institut Teknologi Kebangsaan, which was later renamed Universiti Teknologi Malaysia. The university was recognized as a technical university focusing on technology, with Bahasa Malaysia as the medium of instruction. Currently, UTM’s main campus is located on a land spanning 1,120 hectares in Skudai, Johor. It is situated about 18 km from Johor Bahru City centre. The branch campus is located at UTM International Campus, Jalan Semarak, Kuala Lumpur. The move from the original campus at Jalan Semarak, Kuala Lumpur, to the main campus in Skudai began in 1985 and proceeded in stages. At present, the Skudai campus houses mainly 5 faculties and UTM International Campus, Kuala Lumpur houses another 2 faculties as follows: a. Faculty of Science b. Faculty of Engineering c. Faculty of Built Environment and Surveying d. Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities e. Azman Hashim International Business School f. Razak Faculty of Technology and Informatics g. Malaysia-Japan International Institute of Technology (MJIIT) In June 2010, UTM received recognition and status as a Research University (RU). 10

GENERAL HANDLING OF COURSES All studies for courses at the Bachelor of Science level are run using a semester system, and for each Academic Year the new student intake occurs on Semester I. The minimum period of study for all programmes being offered are 4 academic years (8 semesters). Students are required to complete the University’s general courses consisting of courses in the Humanities, English Language, Co-Curriculum, Entrepreneurship and Foreign Language. Additionally, final-year students must undertake one research study or Final Year Project (FYP) in a related field. They are required to submit a dissertation based on research topic or project. Supervision of the FYP will be carried out according to schedule between students and academic staff assigned as FYP Supervisors. Students are required to undergo Industrial / Research Training (LI/LP) for a period of twelve (12) weeks, whether in the private or public sector, over the short semester in Year 3 of their study. The LI/LP experience aims to equip graduates with practical knowledge as well as exposing them to real working environments. LI/LP Supervisors consisting of Faculty academic staff will make supervisory visits to each agency where Faculty students are assigned. The Faculty’s supervisors then make a joint assessment with the agency’s own supervisor in order to evaluate the performance of each student involved, before a Pass / Fail decision is recommended to the Industrial Training Committee of the Faculty of Science. 21
