ACADEMIC PROGRAMMES

1. Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering

The general composition of the field of Civil Engineering entails three areas, namely: • Structural Engineering • Water Resources Engineering • Transportation and Geotechnical Engineering

Entry Requirements

i) Candidates must be holders of the Advanced Certificate of Secondary Education Examination (A.C.S.E.E) with two principal passes in Physics and Mathematics and at least subsidiary pass in Chemistry at the same sitting with a minimum of 4.0 points. A candidate must have at least four (4) credit passes in the Certificate of Secondary Education Examination (C.S.E.E “O” level), including Chemistry; OR

ii) Candidates must hold a Diploma in Civil Engineering with at least a GPA of 3.0 or Full Technician Certificate (FTC) in Electrical Engineering with at least average of “C” grade standing from an institution recognized by the University and or by Tanzania Commission for Universities (TCU).

2. Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering

This is a general electrical engineering programme designed to produce broad-based graduates who are capable of applying their knowledge and skills in the whole breadth of electrical engineering discipline rather than only in its specific areas of specialization. After successful completion of the programme, the graduates should be able to carry out effective conceptualization (planning), design, implementation (construction), operation (performance analysis), maintenance, and management of various electrical engineering systems in both heavy-current and light-current domains. Heavy-current electrical engineering deals with devices, systems, and processes which use electricity as a form of energy to be converted to other forms, stored, transferred between locations, and reticulated within premises and spaces. On the other hand, light-current electrical engineering deals with devices, systems, and processes which use electricity as a means of representing, manipulating, storing, transmitting, and receiving information.

Entry Requirements

i) Candidates must be holders of Advanced Certificate of Secondary Education Examination (A.C.S.E.E) with two principal level passes in Physics and Advanced Mathematics and at least subsidiary pass in Chemistry at A-level or a minimum of C grade in Chemistry at O-level with a minimum of 4.0 points; OR

ii) Candidates must hold a Diploma in Electrical Engineering or related fields with at least a GPA of 3.0 or Full Technician Certificate (FTC) in Electrical Engineering or related fields with at least average of “C” grade standing from an institution recognized by the University and or by Tanzania Commission for Universities (TCU). Electrical-related fields include power systems engineering, electronics engineering, computer engineering, telecommunication engineering, information & communication technology, process control & instrumentation, mechatronics, and energy systems.
