This institution of higher learning started in the 1904 as a class
for technical studies at Kuala Lumpur City Council Building. In 1906, the
class became the Technical School, based at 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
Brickfield (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 at a new site in High
Street, i.e. the present Jalan Bandar.
Recognising that the industrial sector is the main contributor to economic
development and is an important catalyst in developing an industrial nation,
UTM has further strengthened links with the industries through "University-Industry
Technology Advancement Programme" (UNITAP). The programme which has attracted
the attention of the foremost leader of the country, The Honourable Prime
Minister Dato’ Seri Dr. Mahathir bin Mohamad, is actually UTM’s commitment
not only in producing skilled manpower but also to assist in developing
technology. UTM is fully aware that a fully developed and excellent industrial
sector will promote healthy economic growth and ensure prosperity for the
country. Therefore it is imperative to develop technologies which would
increase the competitive edge of the country’s industrial sector.
Malaysia, in the year 2020, would have achieved the status of a scientific
and progressive nation, innovative and forward-looking, one that is not
only a consumer of technology but also a contributor to the scientific
and technological civilisation of the future. This is clearly stated in
Vision 2020 but preparation for that moment has to be done now.
In playing its role in supporting the country’s Vision, UTM will seek to
maintain its position as the main contributor in developing technical expertise
in the country and has in fact taken steps to modify its programmes and
facilities to be more focused on and supportive of the key sectors identified
as targets in the Vision. To achieve this objective, UTM has already taken
several strategic steps by adjusting its structure and practices to be
more flexible and responsive to the needs of industry, introducing mechanisms
to increase industrial experience of staff and developing an entrepreneurial
and outward-looking approach in both staff and students.
