FKEKK… where it’s all began..
Faculty of Electronics and Computer Engineering (FKEKK) started its operation as the first engineering faculty setup together with the formation of Kolej Universiti Teknikal Kebangsaan Malaysia (KUTKM) in 2001. Its first office is located at shop houses at Taman Tasik Utama, Ayer Keroh, Melaka. At this point of time, the lectures and tutorials were all conducted at the shop houses and laboratories were setup at a purpose-built building called Fasa B. Three Bachelor of Electronic Engineering courses are initially offered by the faculty which majoring in Industrial Electronics, Computer Engineering and Telecommunication Engineering.
By the year 2005, FKEKK became the first faculty to move in at the new location in Durian Tunggal which is the main campus for KUTKM. The only entrance to the university at that point of time is through the Durian Tunggal entrance while the Ayer Keroh entrance was still under construction in 2005. A one stop centre was prepared at one of the laboratory space in FKEKK during that time to accommodate the need for the students to perform their registrations and deals with academic issues with the Academic Administration Division (BPA). FKEKK students were also provided with a small library equipped with books related to electronics for use of the students instead of going to the main library which still operated at Taman Tasik Utama.
With the rebranding of the university from KUTKM to UTeM on February 2007, FKEKK continue to move forward to become a renowned faculty through out the country. This was reflected by the involvement of FKEKK as the main organizer on several international conferences, namely APACE2007, etc. The conferences were very successful which receives an overwhelming response and participation from the researchers and academicians around the world.
