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.
