Summary:The Faculty of Architecture, Planning and Surveying at the Universiti Teknologi MARA was set up in 1967 as the School of Applied Arts. The School was separated into two art-based different schools in 1971, which was then set with a new name as the School of Art and Architecture. Over the time, the School has been upgraded and now known as the Faculty of Architecture, Planning and Surveying (FSPU). It has been significantly expanded and the curriculum offers a broad range of study in built environment including architecture; interior architecture; landscape architecture; building surveying; town and regional planning; estate management; building; construction and project management; quantity surveying; geomantic science; and parks & amenity management. As part of the government aspiration of the university towards 200,000 enrolments in year 2015, the faculty is continuously expanding and increases its students. The number of programs offered amplify from four in 1967 to twenty eight in 2006. These include the under graduate, graduate and post graduates level of built environment programs. At graduate level, presently there are two by-coursework programs offers by the faculty namely as Master of Science in Facilities Management and Master of Science in Integrated Construction Project Management. The faculty has also been permitted to start with further Masters by-taught programs of Master of Science (Management and Heritage Conservation), and Master of Science in Urban Development and Management recently. The Goal of the Study The landscape curriculum in the faculty was started in 1985 with the beginning of Diploma in Landscape Design program at the Shah Alam campus. In 1995, the Bachelor of Landscape Architecture with honours was introduced. Since the faculty has set it's aim that each department should begin their Master by-coursework program by year 2006, the Department of Landscape Architecture is observing similar task and will gear up it's capability with the aim to initiate the program not later than year 2007.
