Introduction to Faculty of Engineering Technology Faculty of Engineering Technology (FTK) at Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia (UTHM) was established in July 2012. Nevertheless, the planning of the engineering technology academic programmes has started since 2010. The faculty is established to conduct academic programmes which covers fundamental theory aspect as well as focusing on theoretical applications and practical works in laboratories, workshops and industries. FTK offers academic programmes to students at undergraduate level. Engineering technology programmes are structured towards practical-based as compared to engineering programmes which are conventional science-based. Career prospect of an engineering technologist include wide spectrum from the development of product, manufacturing, construction, to the enhancement of engineering operation functions. The uniqueness of the offered programmes is the students will be exposed to practical-based training apart from attending theoretical-based courses of engineering technology with weightage of 60% practical and 40% theoretical. Students are guided by professional academic staff who are qualified and experienced in their own field. Students will be inculcated with generic skills through teaching and learning process to be dynamic, creative and ethical graduates. Once completed a programme, FTK graduates will be able to compete and fulfill the current workforce market demand of the industries and community. Currently, FTK has twelve (12) undergraduate programmes conducted under the Department of Civil Engineering Technology, Department of Chemical Engineering Technology, Department of Electrical Engineering Technology, and Department of Mechanical Engineering Technology. For the academic session 2012/2013, FTK offers six (6) of its undergraduate programmes. FTK consists of five (5) departments which are led by the Dean, assisted by two (2) Deputy Deans, and four (4) Head of Departments, as shown in Figure 1.

BNN40303 Traditional Knowledge and Biotechnology Synopsis Malaysia is a country enrich with various ethnics. An extremely wide Traditional Knowledge (TK) and Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) of diverse races of Malaysia shows how they have utilise natural resources and interact with the environment with harmony since centuries ago. Part of the TK and TEK are known as the fundamental of the modern biotechnology development. TK and TEK which have not been tested scientifically may have the potential and beneficial in product development or environmental management. Students will be exposed to several TK and TEK and their relations to biotechnology. The course will also triggers interest in student to study and explore TK and TEK which have yet to be documented.

BNN40503 Environmental Monitoring Synopsis Environmental monitoring is important in environmental hazards and risks assessments. Few standard sampling and analysis techniques have been improved for the assessment of degree of contamination in the environment including water, air, and living system. New methods have to be developed when available methods are insufficient to measure the degree of pollution. The course introduces students to the sampling techniques and analysis methods in determining the degree of contamination within the environment. Students will learn and practice few methods which will enable them to carry out sampling work for research and their career. In the course, focus will be given on quality control, including documentation, measurements, and management of samples so that students are able to defend their data and make the best decision based on the analysis measurements made.

BNN40603 Food Industry and Biotechnology Synopsis Food processing industry continually applies new and better technology to increase the efficiency of processing, increase the existing products, produce new products, and reduce the effects on the environment. The course introduces students to the various technologies including some technologies to be applied by the industries, and technologies being researched and develop but yet to be commercially used. The course discusses on the important components related to food biotechnology. Food biotechnology can be divided into two fields: GM (e.g. transgenic plants) and non-GM (e.g. microb enzymes). Identification and quantification of GM in food is increasingly important for the purpose of control. Consumers related issues in GM food biotechnology are discussed. Bioreactor, downstream processing and waste treatment will also be discussed in the course. References 1. El-Mansi, E.M.T. (2007) Fermentation microbiology and biotechnology Boca Raton:
