The School of Technology was established in 1972. The School currently offers 25 programmes at Certificate, Diploma and Advanced Diploma levels. The programme structures and syllabi of the Advanced Diploma and Diploma programmes are so designed and arranged that students may sit for internationally recognised professional examinations or seek exemptions from such examinations. Engineering Diploma holders of the School are exempted from relevant papers in the BEM/IEM Examination. The Advanced Diploma in Technology (Building) programme of the School is fully accredited by the Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB) of United Kingdom. The Diploma in Technology (Quantity Surveying) programme is accredited by the Institution of Surveyors, Malaysia (ISM) and recognised as an approved Quantity Surveying sub-professional qualification. The Advanced Diploma and Diploma programmes conducted by the School of Technology are designed to produce qualified personnel at professional and sub-professional levels in the fields of construction and engineering to meet the needs of the nation. The School of Technology graduates are well sought after by the industry and many have achieved outstanding success and are playing significant roles in society. Advanced Diploma graduates from the Building and Engineering programmmes are accepted to pursue various Master of Science degree programmes in well-known universities in United Kingdom and Australia. Alternatively, graduates may be admitted into the relevant 14-week summer semester Honours degree conversion programmes at universities in United Kingdom. Graduates of the Diploma programmmes can be admitted into Year 1 of the relevant Advanced Diploma programmes in the School or with credit transfer into the relevant second year Honours degree programmes in either private local or overseas universities. The programme structures and syllabi of the Certificate programmes are specially designed to provide students with the necessary technical skills and knowledge in a chosen Building or Engineering discipline to prepare them for the job market. Graduates of the Certificate programmes can be admitted into Year 1, Semester 2 of the relevant Diploma programmes in the College.

Building – this programme aims to produce graduates at a professional level who will, with appropriate experience, eventually become Professional Builders. The curriculum was designed to concentrate on two major areas of the building process, namely Building Management and Building Technology. It also provide solid foundation in Quantity Surveying and Building Economics. Building students are equipped with the skills and expertise to perform the following functions:
Building management; Construction management
Project management; Site management
Quantity surveying; Cost and production control
Contract administration
Building consultancy

Materials Engineering – this programme aims to produce at the professional level, engineering graduates with a sound foundation in materials science and manufacturing engineering. The programme is so designed that graduates are equipped with sufficient knowledge to qualify both as a Materials or Production Engineer. Materials engineering is concerned with the processing and fabrication, selection and design, economic utilisation and manufacture of materials for use in a wide range of technologies and engineering. Graduates find employment in a wide range of manufacturing industries such as those concerned with iron and steel production, processing and fabrication of metals, plastics, rubber, ceramics and glass, in machinery or heavy industries and also in electrical, electronic, chemical and petroleum industries. Our graduates are found in wide variety of positions: design and development engineers, marketing and sales engineers, quality assurance and test engineers, service and maintenance engineers and production and plant engineers.
