About the Faculty
Introduction
The Faculty of Engineering and Technology (FET) offers unique opportunities for innovative education and research. FET is the best and largest Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) Faculty of the University. Currently, the Faculty has four (4) departments, namely, Chemical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and Electrical/Electronic Engineering.
Plans are far advanced to introduce three new departments within the next two (2) year. The upcoming departments are Automotive and Agricultural Mechanization Engineering, Oil and Gas Engineering, and Renewable and Environmental Engineering.

Mission
Churning out employable engineering and technical graduates who are competent in their fields of expertise to contribute meaningfully to the country’s industrialization agenda for sustainable socio-economic growth and poverty alleviation.
Achievements
- The Faculty again received the best Faculty award for 2017/2018 Academic Year for being the Faculty with the highest terminal degree holders, highest research output and highest Student-Lecturer assessment scores.
- The Faculty is leading the implementation of the mandate of the University and it is hosting the University’s niche programme, which is Renewable Energy/Environmental Engineering.
- The Faculty is leading the implementation of the Partnership for Applied Sciences (PASS) project of the University.
Future Plans
The Faculty plans to:
- Convert all programmes within the Faculty into Competence-Base Training (CBT) model.
- Introduce new departments and programmes at the undergraduate and graduate levels (Table). The introduction of the proposed Departments and reorganization of the existing and new programmes is to ensure that the Faculty operates in accordance with the mandate conferred on the University by Act 922.
