In line with Faculty objectives, the School is committed to the development and promotion of science and technology.
- We seek to provide students with vocationally and educationally oriented experiences and expertise which will best equip them for entry into a work environment in which there is likely to be significant career changes during their working life.
- We provide courses and programs with a close relationship between theory and practice, and seeks to include relevant industrial experience within each award course.
- We also seek to foster within our students a personal pride in, and a professional attitude to their work and a full understanding of their responsibilities to society as trained scientists and technologists.
We believe that active involvement in research and consultancy is vital in providing quality teaching as well as in developing a viable and practical course for the students. To this end, most of the academic staff have a doctoral degree and substantial research and consultancy experience.
The School endeavours to develop close relationships with industry and with the community to keep abreast of their respective needs. And to this end, student projects are performed in collaboration with industry, the community, government bodies, and research institutes wherever possible.
