The document summarizes the Faculty of Engineering, Built Environment and Information Technology (EBIT) at the University of Pretoria. EBIT comprises four schools: Engineering, Built Environment, Information Technology, and Graduate School of Technology Management. It offers internationally competitive programs in engineering, built environment, and IT fields. The School of Engineering is the largest in the country and offers degrees in chemical, civil, computer, industrial, mechanical, materials, and mining engineering. It also has an extended engineering degree program called ENGAGE. The School for the Built Environment offers degrees in architecture, interior architecture, landscape architecture, construction management, real estate, quantity surveying, and town planning. The School of Information Technology provides integrated IT studies with computer science
UP Faculty of Engineering Built Environment and IT
- 1. Faculty of Engineering, Built Environment and Information Technology (EBIT)
- 2. The Faculty of Engineering, Built Environment and Information Technology (EBIT) is situated at the main campus of the University of Pretoria in Hatfield
- 3. EBIT Faculty offers internationally competitive and locally relevant education, research and community involvement in the Engineering, built environment and information technology professions. The Faculty has extensive and cutting-edge teaching, learning and laboratory facilities integrated with the excellent suite of facilities and services offered by the University. High quality graduates that will make a meaningful contribution to society
- 4. The EBIT Faculty comprises of four schools: • The School of Engineering • The School for the Built Environment • The School of Information Technology and • The Graduate School of Technology Management (GSTM)
- 5. The School of Engineering This is the largest School of its kind in the country in terms of student numbers, graduates and research contributions and offers programmes in all the major engineering disciplines, with many specialisations also offered at undergraduate and graduate level. This School offers a wide range of accredited programs, leading professors and excellent students and facilities. The school also has close cooperation with industry. The School of Engineering offers BEng degree in the following disciplines: •Chemical Engineering •Civil Engineering •Computer, Electrical and Electronic Engineering •Industrial and Systems Engineering •Mechanical and Aeronautical Engineering •Materials Science and Metallurgical Engineering •Mining Engineering
- 6. ENGineering Augmented Degree Programme (ENGAGE) The School of Engineering also offers degrees in an extended program; ENGAGE The goal is to increase ACCESS and SUCCESS for Engineering students who have the potential but do not meet the normal entry requirements This programme affords students more time in the initial three years and supports them better. Modules in the ENGAGE Programme Year 1 Basic Sciences plus Additional Modules Professional Orientation Year 2 Level 1 Engineering Level 2 Mathematics Additional Modules Year 3 Level 2 Engineering Year 4 Same as mainstream year 3 Year 5
- 7. The School for the Built Environment Offers the entire spectrum of programmes in the Built Environment, with studio-based education in the architectural degrees and close ties and alignment with the building industry. The School offers the following programmes: •BSc Architecture •BSc Interior Architecture •BSc Landscape Architecture •BSc Construction Management •BSc Real Estate •BSc Quantity Survey •Bachelor of Town and Regional Planning
- 8. The School of Information Technologystudents have the advantage Its unique and the first of its kind in South Africa, where of an integrated approach to Information Technology (IT) with study programmes and modern laboratories in Computer Science, Informatics and Information Science. The School of Information Technology also accommodates students with potential who need additional development and support to meaningfully participate in our programs: Extended programs (4 year programmes) in IT extend the existing three year programmes to four year programmes. This caters for students who wish to enter degrees within SIT without the necessary pre-requisites for the degree. Two extended programmes: •BSc IT (Information and Knowledge Systems) •BIS (Multimedia)
- 9. Excellent facilities: Eng 1, 2, 3 … • Student numbers increased significantly over the last decade with a pass rate of 82 % (Module Pass Rate of first years) • This number is expected to grow due to the attraction of the recently opened Engineering Study Centre which accommodates over 800 students
- 10. Excellent facilities Engineering 1, 2, 3 Modern laboratories Engineering study centre 10
