🔍 A Glimpse into the Evolution

In the early 1990s, the Discipline of Computer Engineering began as the Computer Engineering Division within the Department of Electrical Engineering. Its role was to support diverse departmental programs. In 1999, it became the Department of Computer Engineering, marking UiTM’s transition into a university.

In 2008, the Centre for Computer Engineering Studies was formed to meet national demands for skilled professionals. In 2021, as part of UiTM’s Restructuring for Impact project, it became a department under the School of Electrical Engineering within the newly unified College of Engineering.

The college continues its mission to develop research and teaching excellence, ensuring students are equipped for the future of technology.
