INTRODUCTION

---

Faculty of Civil and Environmental Engineering (FKAAS) was established on 1 May 2004 after the restructuring of faculties in the University. It is a combination of two departments which are the Civil Engineering Department of the Faculty of Engineering and the Department of Construction and Environmental Technology Engineering of the Faculty of Technology Engineering. The Civil Engineering Department was established on 13 September 1993 when the Polytechnic Staff Training Centre (PLSP) was first set up. Meanwhile, the Construction and Environmental Technology Engineering Department was established on 30 September 2000 when Institute Teknologi Tun Hussein Onn (ITTHO) was upgraded to a university college known as Kolej Universiti Teknologi Tun Hussein Onn (KUiTTHO). In 2007, the college was finally upgraded to a university status known as Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia (UTHM).

This faculty offers diploma, bachelor’s degree, and postgraduate programmes. These programmes are specially designed to expose students to hands-on trainings in addition to the theoretical learning in civil engineering. With these added values, students will become more competitive in the present job market. Students are also guided by experienced staff with professional qualifications.
