FICT started with Three (3) honors degree programmes namely Bachelor of Computer Science (Hons), Bachelor of Information Systems (Hons) Business Information Systems and Bachelor of Information Systems (Hons) Information Systems Engineering in May 2002. In 10th June of the same year, the Faculty had its first cohort intake of 60 students that comprises of 24 students for Bachelor of Computer Science (Hons) degree programme, 18 students for Bachelor of Information Systems (Hons) Information Systems Engineering degree programme and 18 students for Bachelor of Information Systems (Hons) Business Information Systems degree programme. It is part of the study requirements for the students to do their internship during their course of study at FICT. Therefore, FICT sent out the first batch of interns in the year 2003 consisting of 290 students pursuing Bachelor of Information Systems (Hons) Information Systems Engineering degree programme and 295 students pursuing Bachelor of Information Systems (Hons) Business Information Systems degree programme.In January 2005, FICT added another programme Bachelor of Information Technology (Hons) Computer Engineering to its existing programmes. Bachelor of Information Technology (Hons) Computer Engineering had an enrollment of 11 students for its first batch of students. A year later, in Jan 2006, FICT introduced the programme Bachelor of Information Technology (Hons) Communications and Networking with an intake of 6 students. During 2008, the faculty's undergraduate programmes undergo a shifting process to the new Perak campus in Kampar, Perak, where it was placed under the Faculty of Science, Engineering and Technology (FSET). The first batch of students at FSET was made up of 21 students for Bachelor of Computer Science (Hons) degree programme, 15 students for Bachelor of Information Systems (Hons) Information Systems Engineering degree programme, 16 students for or Bachelor of Information Systems (Hons) Business Information Systems degree programme, 10 students for Bachelor of Information Technology (Hons) Computer Engineering programme and 1 student for Bachelor of Information Technology (Hons) Communications and Networking degree programme. On August 2009, when FSET was dissolved into 3 different faculties, the new FICT was set up in the Perak campus to take charge of the ICT programmes. In the same year, the first batch of students from FICT at the Perak campus in Kampar (consisting of 21 students from Bachelor of Information Systems (Hons) Business Information Systems degree programmeand 18 students from Bachelor of Information Systems (Hons) Information Systems Engineering degree programme) was sent for their internship. The FICT in Petaling Jaya remained to operate until the end of 2010 after the graduation of the last batch of FICT undergraduates that were based in the Petaling Jaya campus and all operations of FICT were thereafter fully shifted to the Perak campus.3.0 Faculty Organization StructureDEANDr Liew Soung Yuesyliew@utar.edu.my DEPUTY DEANAcademic Development and Undergraduate ProgrammesDr Cheng Wai

Eligible exemptions for MAICSA Professional Diploma in Corporate Administration (PDCA)?2. To complete Professional Part 1 and 2For the following programme:Bachelor of Computer Science (Hons)7.3 Understanding Course StructureAll of FICT's programmes are approved by Ministry of Education (MOE) before it is being conducted. All of FICT's programmes are also granted Malaysian Qualifications Agency (MQA) Provisional Accreditation when it is conducted. Having Provisional Accreditation means that the programme has met the minimum MQA requirements to start conducting the programme.FICT is running an average of 120-124 credits hour degree programmes. Students are given a minimum of three years or up to a maximum of five years, in order to obtain all credit hours as offered by each degree programme. UTAR is having three intakes of students per year. In other words, we are having three trimesters per year. January and May trimesters are categorized as long trimesters with 20 weeks of study (including exam weeks), and October trimester is categorized as short trimester with only 13 weeks of study. FICT has designed specific course structure for each intake of students. The course structures for all FICT’s programmes are revised into Flexible Structure. It is to give students the flexibility to make their own study plan. Students can arrange the subjects they are most interested to take first, as long as the subjects are offered. This also allows students to study at their own pace.We adopt four different types of teaching approaches throughout the three years of study. We are lecturing students in lecture hall for most of the subjects in order to deliver course material illustrated with examples and applications. Students can join tutorial class to discuss and solve tutorial-based unit’s problems. Lecturer and tutor will guide students through exercises based on course material. We also conduct practical labs for those practical-based units. Lecture and tutor will guide students through hands-on extended exercises and applications of course material. Besides, MOE had requested all degree programmes to integrate at least one trimester of industrial training into the course structure. During the industrial training, students are placed under supervised industrial attachment with exposure to real-life working environment.For every course structures, we can categorize the subject into compulsory unit, core unit, elective unit and industrial training unit. Each unit will contribute different credit hours for the students once they passed the subjects. Students are required to accumulate enough credit hours as shown in their respective course structure and obtained a minimum of CGPA above 2.0000 in order to be graduated. Students are requested to pass all those subjects under compulsory, core and industrial training modules. For the elective module, students have the choice to select the subjects in the pool of subjects as long as the subject is offered for that particular trimester. Another module need to be highlighted here is the Final Year Project (FYP) to be taken for every student in order to be graduated. For a better preparation during the FYP which constitutes of two consecutive subjects, “Project I” and “Project II”, all FICT’s programmes had integrated two subjects to prepare the students for the above reason, namely “Inventive Problems Solving and Proposal Writing” and “Mini Project”. Students will be exposed to an innovative and creative problems solving technique, TRIZ, in the subject “Inventive Problems Solving and Proposal Writing”. Besides, students can apply his/her ICT skill and knowledge in developing some small-scale projects in the subject “Mini Project” as well. We hope students can obtain enough knowledge and experiences before proceed to their FYP.Outcome-Based EducationMOE emphasizes a lot on the Outcome-Based Learning, and MQA has come out with the 8 learning outcome domains, namely KnowledgePractical skillsSocial skills and responsibilitiesEthics, professionalism and humanitiesCommunication, leadership and team skillsScientific methods, critical thinking and problem solving skillsLifelong learning and information managementEntrepreneurship and managerial skillsAll FICT programmes approved by MOE must be developed based on the above 8 learning outcome domains. The achievement of Malaysian Tertiary Education in terms of the above learning-outcome domains will be measured by the public.Methods of Outcome-Based Education (OBE) are student-centered learning methods that focus on empirically measuring student performance (the "outcome"). OBE implementations often incorporate a host of many progressive pedagogical models and ideas, such as reform mathematics, block scheduling, project-based learning and whole language reading, OBE in itself does not specify or require any particular style of teaching or learning. Instead, it requires the students to demonstrate what they have learned the required skills and content. However, in practice, OBE generally promotes curricula and assessment based on constructivist methods and discourages traditional education approaches based on direct instruction of facts and standard methods.Each independent education agency specifies its own outcomes and its own methods of measuring student achievement according to those outcomes. In early 2013, UTAR had implemented an e-OBE system in monitoring and measuring the student achievement for the above 8 learning outcome domains. The results of these measurements can be used for different purposes. UTAR e-OBE System aims to measure programme and student programme outcome attainment, to be used as a tool to monitor student academic progress, and provide students self-assessment in their effort to achieve programme outcome. 7.4 Info about Faculty and Elective SubjectsThe faculty and elective subjects are based on the five programmes offered by FICT, namely Bachelor of Information Technology (Hons) Computer Engineering (CT), Bachelor of Information Technology (Hons) Communication and Networking (CN), Bachelor of Computer Science (CS), Bachelor of Information System (Hons) Information Systems Engineering (IA), Bachelor of Information System (Hons) Business Information System (IB).

Please refer to the pre-registration process below. The whole industrial training process takes 2 semesters:1 semester for pre-registration and looking for jobs.1 semester for the actual industrial training.Students who are under probation during the pre-registration semester are NOT allowed to go for industrial training. For example, a student intends to go for industrial training in Oct 2011 semester. He is required to pre-register and look for internship job in May 2011 semester. However, in May 2011 semester, this student is under probation due to poor academic results (GPA < 2.0) in Jan 2011 semester. Hence, this student is NOT eligible to go for industrial training in Oct 2011. Download resources:Please refer to utar.edu.my/fict/ and visit the industrial training page for forms and appendix.Pre Registration ProcessThings you need to know before registrationYou have to start the pre-register process one semester before the actual industrial training semester. For example, if you plan to go for your industrial training during Oct 2011 semester, you need to start the pre-registration process in May 2011 semester. The whole pre-registration process will take one semester, and there are four stages in the process:Submission of FICT Pre-registration FormLooking for internship job placementInterview & acceptance of job placementPreparation to go out Submission of FICT Pre-registration form (You must submit this form)Form: FICT Industrial Training Pre-registrationEligibility of industrial training:Accumulated 54 credits including transferred credits from other institution.Accumulated 45 credits excluding current semester.Advisable to go for industrial training AFTER year 2 trimester 2.Not under probation status during the pre-registration semester.CGPA >= 2.0Download and fill in the pre-registration form. Submit the FICT pre-registration form to front counter of FICT general office (you may not need to find a job or got a letter of offer at this stage)before week 15 of long semester (Jan and May semester)before week 8 of short semester (Oct semester)You MUST fill in and submit this form if you intend to for industrial training.Faculty officers will pre-register the students into the computer system based on this form. In this stage:DO NOT submit your pre-registration form in last minutes or after your final exam. FICT reserves the right to deny your industrial training if you perform the above act.DO NOT go for industrial training "quietly" without pre-registration. This is your part-time job, not industrial training.All students MUST fulfill the whole duration of the industrial training dates posted by FICT. About 19 weeks in long semesters, 3 full months in short semesterAny student tries to deviate from the posted dates, OR "create" their own date (less than 19 weeks or 3 months), without seeking approval from the faculty will result in failure.DO NOT compare the posted period of industrial training and procedure with other faculties.FICT reserves the rights to deny students from going to Industrial Training if the particular students do not fulfill the conditions to go for industrial training.Looking for Internship job placement Form: Request for Supporting Letter for Industrial Training(Company may require you to prove that you are a UTAR student looking for internship placement.
