Discipline of Computer Engineering was established in the early nineties as the Computer Engineering Division in the Department of Electrical Engineering, with the main role of supporting the various programmes offered by the department. Later, in Aug 1999, it was renamed to the Department of Computer Engineering in the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, commemorating the inauguration of the institute as a university. In 2008, it was renamed the Centre for Computer Engineering Studies, and there after devoted to fulfilling the national demand for electronic and computer engineering professionals. The centre aims to continuously elevate the knowledge and experience of the faculty members in teaching and research in order to produce high quality research and graduates. In 2021, under Kolej Pengajian Kejuruteraan, it was known as Discipline of Computer.
