UTM BRIEFLY

UTM Kuala Lumpur (UTM KL) is a graduate campus of Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM), and is
under the same corporate structure as its main campus in Johor Bahru, Johor. The current UTM KL
which is located at the center of Kuala Lumpur city used to be the original campus of UTM on Lot
4582 Jalan Semarak, with an area of 47.56 acre. UTM KL is a semiautonomous branch campus
headed by a Pro-Vice Chancellor and the whole structure is governed by the same Board of
Directors under the same protocol of Chancellor and Pro- Chancellors. The administrative and
academic support for UTM KL is provided by the major administrative offices such as Office of the
Registrar, Bursary, Library, Office of Asset and Construction Management, Centre for Information
& Communication Technology and Office of Corporate Affairs.

UTM KL is in its own local community affiliated with UTM, offers leading-edge programmes at
bachelor and graduate degree levels and provides services both locally and internationally. In the
current academic session, the UTM KL is offering full-time undergraduate programmes and
postgraduate programmes under its four major faculties: The Razak Faculty of Technology and
Informatics, Azman Hashim International Business School, Faculty of Social Sciences and
Humanities and Malaysia-Japan International Institute of Technology (MJIIT). Some of these
faculties also offer part-time executive programmes for working professionals. In addition, part-
time and modular programmes are provided by UTMSPACE (The School for Professional and
Continuing Education).

There are several centers of excellence in UTM KL which carry out research activities and also offer
some academic programmes. Other major supporting units include the branch offices of Innovation
& Commercialization Center (ICC), School for Graduate Studies (SPS) and UTM International. Their
presence at UTM KL would be supportive of the Campus key results areas and its strategic
objectives.

MJIIT BRIEFLY

The Malaysia-Japan International Institute of Technology (MJIIT), which was established in 2010
as a Government-to-Government Project at Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM), is the
culmination of Malaysia’s Look East Policy that manifests a unique education project between
Malaysia and Japan. Japan has formed a consortium of 29 Universities and has dispatched
Japanese lecturers and professors to MJIIT providing a significant piquant of the Japanese-
oriented engineering program for Malaysian and international students. The interaction between
two countries were strengthened by sending exchange students to Japan, setting up training
programs at Japanese companies and partnering with Japanese Universities through various
academic cooperation. The MJIIT Project was one of the major ways to contribute towards
enhancing bilateral relations between the two governments. It is also anticipated that with the
establishment of MJIIT, Malaysian has benefited from new technology introduced by Japan.

MJIIT combines the advantage of the Malaysian systematic outcome-based education with the
research-intensive approach of Japanese education outlook. The relatively autonomous nature
of MJIIT allows for greater innovation and creativity among its academic staff and students. It is
the desire of MJIIT to produce knowledgeable human capital towards the advancement and
development of state-of-the-art technology and processes while safeguarding the environment.
The blend of Malaysian, Japanese as well as other international professors, who engaged
extensively in research, combined with students’ diversity created continuity in global
experiences within the campus environment. MJIIT works closely with Japanese universities and
industries to create a distinctive working culture and employs a holistic approach in its program
offerings. MJIIT does not only focuses on Malaysian students but also welcomes students from
Asian and foreign countries, aiming to be the Japanese-oriented engineering hub in Asia.
Presently, MJIIT offers three (3) undergraduate programs namely Bachelor of Electronic Systems
Engineering, Bachelor of Mechanical Precision Engineering and Bachelor of Chemical Process
Engineering.

MESSAGE FROM DEAN

Konnichiwa. My heartiest congratulations and warmest welcome to all students to Malaysia-Japan
International Institute of Technology (MJIIT), Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM). MJIIT UTM is
preparing to become world leading Japanese-oriented engineering education hub with support from
the Higher Education Department, Ministry of Education, Malaysia, Japan International Cooperation
Agency (JICA) and more than 29 Japanese Universities through the Japanese University Consortium
(JUC). Our Japanese-oriented engineering education utilizes the K.E.S. (Knowledge-Experience and
Self-study) pedagogy concept of teaching and learning which focuses more on classroom learning in
early years and learning through experience and self-study in later years. The well-known 5S concept
and Kaizen are incorporated in learning cultures at MJIIT, aim to inculcate important values highly
sought in today’s world including team working, responsible and resilience.

MJIIT provides state-of-the-art facilities for postgraduate students comprising of well-established
research laboratories under the auspices of innovative Kohza (iKohza) featuring the unique
mentoring concept of senpai-kohai. Junior members are nurtured and closely supported by their
seniors, combining collegial collaboration and continuous guidance from Professors and senior
members of the iKohza. We have strong partnerships with industries such as Takasago Ltd., Daiichi
and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Asia Pacific LTE Ltd. to support our learning and research
ecosystems. On behalf of the MJIIT family, I wish you successful academic endeavours throughout
your study at MJIIT. Don’t forget to experience the UTM lifestyle while at the same time mastering
the Japanese-oriented engineering education with us!

RESEARCH TO THE UNDERGRADUATE STUDY

Undergraduate students are encouraged to participate in research activities. In the final year students will
be given individual final year project and their progress will be monitored closely by their supervisors.
Therefore, to equip the students and accelerate them on their research, MJIIT offers the iKohza system.
This iKohza is led by a senior academic member with group members comprising of academics and
researchers of similar interests, and students as junior members. Here the students will be exposed with
the high-end equipment and engage in independent and life-long learning in the broadest context of
technological change. Below is the list of iKohzas and the center of excellence at MJIIT.
