WHEN Ikram College of Technology was upgraded last month and renamed Kuala Lumpur Infrastructure University College (KLIUC), even Education Ministry officials were sceptical, afraid that the name would put students off.
Explaining the rationale for putting the word “infrastructure” in its name, KLIUC president and chief executive officer Dr Mahadzer Mahmud said: “Although many people advised us to change the name, we wanted to build on our experience as the former Public Works Department research and training institute. Furthermore, infrastructure engineering is our core business and we want to become a specialised university college in this area.”
