The University was formerly known as Pusat Latihan Staf Politeknik ( PLSP ), established on September 16, 1993. The core business of PLSP then was to train and produce polytechnics academic staff to become knowledgeable and skillful in various engineering fields. The training institute was jointly administered by Universiti Teknologi Malaysia and the Ministry of Education Malaysia.
Three years later, PLSP was upgraded to Institut Teknologi Tun Hussein Onn ( ITTHO ). Dato' Sri Mohd Najib bin Tun Abdul Razak who was then the Minister of education, announced the new status on April 12, 1996. This promotion was an acknowledgment of the institution's excellence in producing human resources for technical education.
