Assalamualaikum w.b.t and warm greetings
Welcome to the Faculty of Engineering
Engineering education at the
tertiary level began in Malaysia in
1956 with the establishment of the
Engineering Department at
University of Malaya’s Bukit timah
campus in Singapore. Only a
Bachelor Degree course in Civil
Engineering was offered then. The
department was upgraded to a
faculty when University of Malaya
relocated to its campus in Lembah
Pantai in 1958.
In the same year, the second
bachelor degree course in
Mechanical Engineering was
introduced. A year later, a Bachelor
Degree course in Electrical
Engineering was added to the
number of courses available to
undergraduates.
In 1970, the Faculty introduced the
fourth course, a bachelor degree in
Chemical Engineering. All four
courses were turned into respective
departments in 1974. In the 1996/97
session, the Faculty introduced six
other courses namely in
Telecommuncation Engineering,
Environmental Engineering,
Materials Engineering, Computer
Aided Design and Manufacturing
Engineering and Biomedical
Engineering.
To-date, the Faculty has six
departments, Civil Engineering,
Biomedical Engineering, Chemical
Engineering, Electrical Engineering,
Mechanical Engineering and
Engineering Design & Manufacture.
The Faculty now offers 12 programmes,
with the lates addition of the Bachelor
of Biomedical Engineering (Prosthetics
and Orthotics) which was introduced in
the 2009/2010 session.
All engineering courses, offered by
University of Malaya, have been
accreditated by the Engineering
Accreditation Council (EAC), the Board
of Engineers, Malaysia (BEM) in order
for all undergraduate engineering
students to register with them, upon
graduation. All programmes have been
structured such, that they meet the
nation and the stakeholder’s vision of
producing responsible, multi-talented
and highly qualified engineers of
excellent leadership quality. This is
evident from the Programme Outcome
and Programme Educational Objectives
mapped out for each course offered.
In line with the global tertiary
education scenario, efforts are in place
to drive the Faculty towards excellence
and to ensure that the human capital
produced by the university meets
current needs.
“ All engineering courses,
offered by University of
Malaya, have been
accreditated by the
Engineering
Accreditation Council
(EAC), the Board of
Engineers, Malaysia
(BEM)”
Towards this direction, the Faculty
has adopted the National Tertiary
Education Strategic Plan and inputs
from various stakeholder
programmes as the basis to
improve the quality,
competitiveness and creativity of
each course offered. As a
preliminary step to ensure that all
courses offered are relevant to
market needs, the Faculty is
reviewing the overall curriculum in
order to produce engineering
graduates of high calibre.
