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. The faculty is equipped with 21 laboratories, 36 classrooms, 6 computer laboratories, 2 lecture halls, 2 seminar rooms, 2 examination halls, 1 smart lecture room and has 124 academic staff servicing it. The school also has nine (9) Research Excellence Entities (EK) established to spearhead research activities.

Producing world-class learners in today’s complex and fast-paced world is the single most important responsibility of the school in line with the UiTM’s vision of becoming a world-class university. Lecturers, administrators, and support staff are all working together to ensure all students receive world-class educational opportunities which will enable them not only to meet or exceed national standards but to position them to succeed well in future educational and career endeavours. Administratively the school is facilitating this ambition by maintaining its hard-earned ISO9001:2008 Quality Award obtained in 2010, but more importantly is to ensure its programme is continually striving to earn the Engineering Accreditation Council (EAC) recognition through the Board of Engineers Malaysia (BEM) and Washington Accord (WA) and by The Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE), United Kingdom.
