The Faculty of Mechanical Engineering (FME),Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, was formerly known as the Fakulti Kejuruteraan Jentera (FKJ). It was set up in 1975 at Universiti Teknologi Malaysia Kuala Lumpur campus. FKJ initially had two departments, namely, the Department of Mechanical Engineering and the Department of Petroleum Engineering. A Dean managed the Faculty with the assistance of a Deputy Dean and two Heads of Departments. On 15th of March 1983, the Department of Petroleum Engineering has been expanded to form a new faculty known as the Faculty of Chemical and Natural Resources Engineering. FKJ moved to a new campus in Skudai in June 1989. To make the Faculty more marketable internationally, the University has agreed to rename FKJ to Fakulti Kejuruteraan Mekanikal (FKM) or Faculty of Mechanical Engineering (FME) on 20th of December 1995. In July 2018, under the UTM Synergy 4.0, FKM was placed under new management named Faculty of Engineering (FE) together with the other five Faculties. FKM was renamed to the School of Mechanical Engineering (SME).
