-The provision of computer facilities and services at the Universiti Malaya
-(UM) began soon after the Computer Centre was officially formed in 1965.
-This made the university one of the pioneers in computer usage in Malaysia.
-In December 1969, the Computer Centre took on an additional role of
-teaching and research of computer science and information technology. The
-Computer Centre Board was formed, comprising the Vice-Chancellor (as
-Chairman), the Director of Computer Centre (as Secretary), and a
-representative from each Faculty, Institute, Centre and the University
-Senate.
-In 1974, the Diploma in Computer Science programme was introduced.
-From its inception in the 1974/1975 Session to the 1997/1998 Session, a
-total of 300 students had been awarded the Diploma. The Master of
-Computer Science (MCS) and Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) programme
-were two (2) higher degree programme by research approved by the Senate
-and had been administered by the Computer Centre since 1985. In addition,
-the Computer Centre offered a four (4) years Bachelor of Computer Science
-programme. The first undergraduate enrolment for the 1990/1991 Session
-was 50 students.
-In April 1st, 1993, the University Senate agreed to the formation of the
-Computer Centre Study Board. The Board proposed the establishment of a
-faculty to be called the Faculty of Computer Science and Information
-Technology (FCSIT). The existing Computer Centre was to be annulled and
-replaced by a Computer Services Division which was placed under the
-Chancellery.
-On September 22nd, 1994, the University of Malaya Council agreed to the
-formation of the Faculty of Computer Science and Information Technology
-(FCSIT), and the Computer Services Division. A sum of 4.2 million was
-obtained from the Ministry of Education under the Sixth Malaysian Plan to
-put up a new building for the faculty, with the necessary infrastructure for
-teaching, learning and research. The building was officially declared open by
-the Minister of Education, Dato' Sri Najib Tun Abdul Razak on September
-26th, 1996.
-HISTORY OF THE FACULTY
-
-### Page 11
-The Bachelor of Information Technology programme started in the
-1996/1997 Session, with an initial intake of 50 students. To accommodate
-an increase student population, an additional building was built which was
-officially opened by Datuk Fong Chan Onn, Deputy Minister of Education on
-September 21st, 1998.
-Since its establishment, the Faculty of Computer Science and Information
-Technology have been led by a number of distinguished persons. The
-following have served as Directors/Dean:
