BACKGROUND OF FACULTY
HISTORY
Faculty of Mechanical Engineering of UiTM is the off-spring of the former School of
Engineering (one of the oldest School of ITM/UiTM-established in 1967) which was
formed in 1996 with three faculties, namely Civil, Electrical and Mechanical Engineering.
Being one of the oldest, the faculty has been playing a significant role in promoting
professional engineering education amongst the Bumiputra community. So far it has
produced 4776 graduates who are currently playing an active role in mechanical
engineering profession through different employment activities either in private or public
sectors.
Starting from a modest facility in the old academic building, the faculty had moved into its
new premise at the UiTMs new Science and Technology complex in 2003. The faculty is
equipped with 42 laboratories, 35 classrooms, 185 staff, staff offices, administrative
offices, and sharing lecture theatres with other faculties.
Producing world-class learners in todays complex and fast paced world is the single
most important responsibility of the faculty in line with the UiTMs vision of becoming a
world-class university. Lecturers, administrators, and support staff are all working
together to ensure all students receive world-class educational opportunities which will
enable them not only to meet or exceed national standards, but to position them to
succeed well in future educational and career endeavors. Administratively the faculty is
facilitating this ambition by maintaining its hard earned ISO9001:2008 Quality Award
obtained in 2010, but more importantly is to ensure its programme is continually striving
to earn the Engineering Accreditation Council (EAC) recognition through the Board of
Engineers Malaysia (BEM) and Washington Accord (WA) and also by The Institution of
Mechanical Engineers (IMechE), United Kingdom.
The faculty has established seven(7) Center of Excellence (COE) to spearhead research
activities. The Advanced Manufacturing Technology Excellence Centre (AMTEX) was
established in January 2009 for new research and development in the field of
manufacturing technology focusing on interfaces between sciences, manufacturing and
industrial practices.
BACKGROUND OF FACULTY
The Humanoid Robots and Bio-Sensing Center (HuRoBs) was developed to promote
UiTM as the center of excellence in humanoid robots and to become the pioneer in
development of the first Malaysian indigenous humanoid robot. The Centre of Computer
Aided Design Engineering Manufacturing (CADEM) has been long established since
1990s that focused on offering and promoting professional services to both academic
and industrial sectors. It also play a role in becoming a hub for integrating and
commercializing UiTMs multidisciplinary science and technology expertise and
experiences. The Alternative Energy
Research Centre (AERC) was founded in January 2008. Its aim is to become a leading
research centre in renewal energy science and engineering and to provide the platform
for efficient and low-cost alternative energy technologies. The Automotive Research and
Testing Centre (ARTeC) was established to provide facilities for research and testing
new product development in automotive engineering. The Flight Technology and Test
Centre (FTTC) focuses on the research and development in simulation and experiments
in aeronautical engineering in the field of light weight structure and material, aero-gasdynamics, flight mechanics, and aero-propulsion. Finally, the Center for Advanced
Materials Research (CAMAR) that was established in 2007 to promote research work
and activities of materials science and engineering on materials development such as
new composites with natural fiber reinforcement, hybrid composite, new formulation of
asbestos free brake materials and failure studies of automation components.
Currently, the faculty has established many international collaborations such as with
ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems AG Hamburg, Germany; Mercedez Benz (former Daimler
Chrysler) Malaysia and Stuttgart, Germany; Sumitomo Sdn Bhd, Japan; Daegu
University and Korea companies, Korea; Technical University Clausthal, Germany;
University of Applied Science Osnabrueck, Germany, University of Applied Science
Karlsruhe, Germany, University of Hannover, Germany; and Shimadzu (Asia Pacific) Pte
Ltd Singapore. The faculty has opened opportunity for students to do industrial
attachment abroad and many students have benefited from this initiative. Exposure to
different work culture and technology abroad is to add value to graduates so that they
can enter the work force and make significant contributions for the development of the
country. In mutual respond to the initiatives on students exchange program, Faculty of
Mechanical Engineering has accepted about 16 students from Germany to conduct inhouse practical training and industrial oriented research in our various well-equipped
laboratories. Exchange students also attended our undergraduate program which allow
them to transfer the course credit to their home university.
BACKGROUND OF FACULTY
Hopefully, the rapport established among many industries both local and
overseas will facilitate and expedite collaboration in many forms: research and
consultancy, student and staff exchange among universities, as well as
internships program such as industrial training for students and staff. The
faculty has so far worked towards promoting advancement in mechanical
engineering across boundaries for the good of humanity and mankind. Over
the years since its inception, the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering staff has
worked extremely hard that has earned them the overall champion of the UiTM
Vice Chancellor Qualitys Award in 2008.
BACKGROUND OF FACULTY
Teaching Staff
To ensure a high teaching standard, the faculty is very selective on the
recruitment of lecturers and supporting staff. The faculty currently has 134
lecturers, 10 assistant lecturers, 41 technical and 21 administrative staff.
Lecturers are required to upgrade their knowledge and skills by carrying out
research and consultancy work. They could undertake short-term or long-term
research projects and other relevant consultancy works. Besides teaching,
lecturers are also encouraged to engage in industrial training in order to obtain
a professional engineer status (PE). The lecturers are assessed for their career
enhancement annually according to the universitys policy.
