The School of Mechanical Engineering, UiTM formerly known as the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering was established in 2021 under the merger effort undertaken by UiTM where all the four engineering schools were merged under the College of Engineering. The Faculty of Mechanical Engineering however was established in 1968 and it is one of the oldest faculty in the university.

The school has been playing a significant role in promoting professional engineering education amongst the Bumiputra community. So far it has produced more than 7500 graduates who are currently playing an active role in the mechanical engineering profession through different employment activities either in private or public sectors.

Starting from a modest facility in the old academic building, the faculty had moved into its new premise at the UiTM’s new Science and Technology complex in 2003.
