Salam 1Malaysia
The utmost gratitude to Allah S.W.T. for enabling the successful production of this
Faculty of Science Academic Guide.
On this occasion, I wish to express my sincerest congratulations and a well done to

students who have been successfully chosen for study programs offered by the
Faculty of Science in particular and UTM in general, for the 2016/2017 Academic
Session.
This Academic Guide contains basic information regarding the Faculty, its
curriculum and course synopses for the Bachelor of Science Program, applicable
for students admitted in the 2016/2017 session and onward until graduation.
Students admitted for Semester I of the 2016/2017 Session constitutes the sixth group
of students following the latest four-year study curriculum. This Guide also describes
the programs and courses offered at the Faculty of Science, the semester system
and the handling of aforementioned study programs.
It is hoped this Academic Guide can provide necessary information, especially to

students, about the management of the Faculty, the procedures of its programs
and the study courses offered. The Guide will be useful for students as part of a
learning plan for their studies, as well as being a reference for understanding the
structure of courses or programs run by the Faculty of Science. In addition, this
Academic Guide explains the academic advisory system so that students and their
assigned Academic Advisors may understand their respective roles more
effectively.
On behalf of the Faculty, I would take this opportunity to express thanks to all
involved in the production of this 2016/2017 Academic Guide.
Thank you. Wassalam.

Background of UTM
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 instituition, 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 Instituition of Civil Engineers, Institution of
Mechanical Engineers and the Institution of Electrical Engineers, United Kingdom.
8
Degree courses were first offered in 1969, when the Pla nning Committee for Higher
Background of UTM
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, UTMs main campus is located on a land spanning 1,120 hectares in

Skudai, Johor. It is situtaed about 18 km from Johor Bahru City centre. The branch
campus is located at UTM Internaltional 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 15 faculties and 5 faculty-level schools in UTM International
Campus, Kuala Lumpur, as follows:
Faculty of Science
Faculty of Civil Engineering
Faculty of Mechanical Engineering
Faculty of Geoinformation and Real Estate
Faculty of Built Environment
Faculty of Management
Faculty of Education
Faculty of Electrical Engineering
Faculty of Computing

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 programs being offered are 4 academic
years (8 semesters).
Students are required to complete the Universitys general courses consisting of

subjects in the Humanities, English Language, Co-Curriculum and
Entrepreneurship.
Additionally, final-year students must undertake one research study or

Undergraduate Project (PSM) in a related field. They are required to submit a
thesis based on such a research topic or project. Supervision of the PSM will be
carried out according to schedule between students and academic staff
assigned as PSM Supervisors from every Faculty Department.
Students are required to undergo Industrial / Research Training (LI/LP) for a period
of ten 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 staf will make supervisory visits to
each agency where Faculty students are assigned. The Facultys supervisors then
make a joint assessment with the agencys 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.
