University of Malaya

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 Telecommunication Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Materials Engineering, Computer Aided Design and Manufacturing Engineering and Biomedical Engineering.
