SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING 1. INTRODUCTION & WELCOME BY THE DIRECTOR OF SCHOOL This School Prospectus aims to provide students within the school with an understanding of the structure of the school and the programmes offered by the school. It is our hope that it will guide the student in making informed decisions on course and programme selection. We trust that it will assist students with the successful completion of their academic studies and that it will lead to our ultimate goals for all of our students to be entrepreneurs and to graduate with a qualification of value that meets the career needs of our community and satisfies the requirements of industry and commerce. While academic work should be the cornerstone of your focus at university there is however more to student life than only academic work. Students are therefore encouraged to combine their academic work with other facets of student life through participation in the various student societies. We trust that you will find your studies within the School of Engineering stimulating and rewarding in a journey of lifelong learning. 2.
