INTRODUCTION

Faculty of Civil and Environmental Engineering (FKAAS) in Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia (UTHM) was established on 1 Mei 2004 after the restructuring of all the faculties. It is a combination of two departments that are the Civil Engineering Department from Faculty of Engineering and Department of Construction and Environmental Technology Engineering from the Faculty of Technology Engineering. The department of Faculty of Engineering was established since 13 September 1993 when Polytechnic Staff Training Center was first setup. Whereas, Department of Construction and Environmental Technology Engineering from the Faculty of Technology Engineering was established in 30 September 2000 when Institute Teknologi Tun Hussein Onn (ITTHO) was upgraded to Kolej Universiti Teknologi Tun Hussein Onn (KUiTTHO) and subsequently upgraded to Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia (UTHM).

This faculty offers academic program to students in diploma, bachelor degree, and postgraduate studies. The uniqueness of FKAAS is that it exposed the students with hands-on training apart from learning the theory in civil engineering. With the advantage, the students get to compete in the present job market. Besides that, the students are being guided by experienced staff with professional qualification.
