Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (Technology University of Malaysia) is the oldest public engineering and technology university in Malaysia and is known by the abbreviation UTM. The university specialises in technical studies, with separate faculties for Education, Pure Sciences, Management, and Human Resources Development. It is the country's major source of graduate engineers and similar professionals. Alumni of UTM have been instrumental in developing sectors related to engineering and technology in Malaysia.

Of its more than 20,000 students over 25% are post graduates. Since the 1990s, the number of foreign students, particularly from neighbouring Asian countries, the Middle East, and Africa, has been increasing, especially in post graduate programs.
UTM graduates have gone on to many academic and professional institutions across the world.

History

This institution of higher learning started in 1904 as a class for technical studies at Kuala Lumpur City Council Building to teach Technical Assistants for the Federated Malay States Departments of Railways, Survey and Public Works. The school was officially known as Treacher Technical School, named after Sir William Treacher, the Resident General during that time. Students followed classed on part-time basis; they worked and trained specifically according to the technical needs of their employment. In 1906 school was relocated to the Batu Lane Malay School. It was later moved to the Museum Building in Bukit Nanas.

In 1925, the Public Works Department opened the Technical School at Jalan Brickfields (Jalan Tun Sambanthan), Kuala Lumpur, to train technical staff of Public Works Department and the Survey and Land Offices. In 1930, the Kuala Lumpur Technical School was further expanded a new site in High Street, i.e. the present Jalan Bandar.

However, with the advent of World War II, the suggestion could only be implemented in 1946, during which the institution became known as Technical College, Kuala Lumpur. The Technical College then offered three-year Diploma courses in Civil, Mechanical and Electrical Engineering, Architecture, Town and Country Planning, Land Surveying and Quantity Surveying. The construction of the new Technical College at Jalan Gurney (Jalan Semarak), Kuala Lumpur, began in 1951. It became fully operational in March 1955. In 1960, a milestone was reached when engineering courses at degree level were offered. Students pursuing the courses had to sit for professional examinations conducted by the Institution of Civil Engineers and the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, United Kingdom. The rate of success was most encouraging.

Another milestone was reached in 1967 when the Planning Committee for the Higher Learning decided to upgrade the Technical College to the level of institution of technology with university status from 1969 onward. However, it was only on the14th of March, 1972, that the decision was implemented with the establishment of Institut Teknologi Kebangsaan (National Institute of Technology) under Section 6(1) of the University and College Act, 1971. On the1st of April 1975, the journey from school to university was completed when the institution finally became "Universiti Teknologi Malaysia".

The university has a number of international academic collaborations and offers 108 postgraduate programs in Engineering and Technology.

Library

Perpustakaan Sultanah Zanariah ( [http://portal.psz.utm.my/ PSZ] ) occupies a central location at Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) main campus in Skudai and has a branch at Chemical Engineering Pilot Plant (UTM Skudai) and UTM City Campus Kuala Lumpur. It was officially opened on the February 3 1991, by Her Majesty Sultanah Zanariah, the Chancellor of University Teknologi Malaysia.

The library in 2005 won an award as the best academic library in Malaysia. It is a four-storey building with a seating capacity of 3,422 and a collection of more than a million copies of printed and electronic materials. Library materials consist mostly of science and technology references. The library is currently building up its social sciences and humanities collection.
