Introduction to Faculty of Engineering Technology

Faculty of Engineering Technology (FTK) at Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia (UTHM)
was established in July 2012. Nevertheless, the planning of the engineering technology
academic programmes has started since 2010. The faculty is established to conduct academic
programmes which covers fundamental theory aspect as well as focusing on theoretical
applications and practical works in laboratories, workshops and industries.
FTK offers academic programmes to students at undergraduate level. Engineering technology
programmes are structured towards practical-based as compared to engineering programmes
which are conventional science-based. Career prospect of an engineering technologist include
wide spectrum from the development of product, manufacturing, construction, to the
enhancement of engineering operation functions.
The uniqueness of the offered programmes is the students will be exposed to practical-based
training apart from attending theoretical-based courses of engineering technology with
weightage of 60% practical and 40% theoretical. Students are guided by professional academic
staff who are qualified and experienced in their own field. Students will be inculcated with
generic skills through teaching and learning process to be dynamic, creative and ethical
graduates. Once completed a programme, FTK graduates will be able to compete and fulfill the
current workforce market demand of the industries and community.
Currently, FTK has twelve (12) undergraduate programmes conducted under the Department of
Civil Engineering Technology, Department of Chemical Engineering Technology, Department
of Electrical Engineering Technology, and Department of Mechanical Engineering Technology.
For the academic session 2012/2013, FTK offers six (6) of its undergraduate programmes.
FTK consists of five (5) departments which are led by the Dean, assisted by two (2) Deputy
Deans, and four (4) Head of Departments, as shown in Figure 1.

BNN40503 Environmental Monitoring

Synopsis
Environmental monitoring is important in environmental hazards and risks assessments. Few
standard sampling and analysis techniques have been improved for the assessment of degree of
contamination in the environment including water, air, and living system. New methods have to
be developed when available methods are insufficient to measure the degree of pollution. The
course introduces students to the sampling techniques and analysis methods in determining the
degree of contamination within the environment. Students will learn and practice few methods
which will enable them to carry out sampling work for research and their career. In the course,
focus will be given on quality control, including documentation, measurements, and
management of samples so that students are able to defend their data and make the best decision
based on the analysis measurements made.

BNN40603 Food Industry and Biotechnology

Synopsis
Food processing industry continually applies new and better technology to increase the
efficiency of processing, increase the existing products, produce new products, and reduce the
effects on the environment. The course introduces students to the various technologies
including some technologies to be applied by the industries, and technologies being researched
and develop but yet to be commercially used. The course discusses on the important
components related to food biotechnology. Food biotechnology can be divided into two fields:
GM (e.g. transgenic plants) and non-GM (e.g. microb enzymes). Identification and
quantification of GM in food is increasingly important for the purpose of control. Consumers
related issues in GM food biotechnology are discussed. Bioreactor, downstream processing and
waste treatment will also be discussed in the course.
