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.

Students 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.
