Faculty Background The faculty was first established as the School of Actuarial Science, Statistics, Mathematics, Econometries and Cybernetics (ASMEC), in 1966 at the Institut Teknologi MARA (ITM) Jalan Othman Campus, Petaling Jaya. Student with good background in Mathematics were offered either one of the two external programmes which prepared them for examinations by the Institute of Statisticians and the Institute of Actuaries, United Kingdom. In 1969, the school took a bold step in introducing the Diploma in Computer Science, an internal programme. The school moved to a new and much bigger campus at Shah Alam in 1970. Soon after 1974 it was renamed the School of Mathematical Sciences and Computing. The external programmes were gradually replaced by the internal diploma programmes. Students had the opportunity to further their studies when the Advanced Diploma in Statistics was introduced in 1980, and also the offering of a joint degree programmes with Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia in 1985. The awarded degree was known as BSc Computer Science (Hons) (ITM-UKM). In 1996, The ITM Act was changed, allowing ITM to award its own degrees. Three of the advanced diploma programmes offered in the school was renamed as Bachelor of Science with honours in their respective fields. In June that year, the school moved to a new building of its own within the Shah Alam Campus. The new building provides improved computing and networking facilities for both the students and staff. Since then, the faculty has progressed with offering of programs at postgraduate, undergraduate, diploma and certificate level.
