Meru University of Science and Technology School of Engineering and Architecture
Meru University School of Engineering – see the list of courses offered at School of Engineering and Architecture…
The School of Engineering and Architecture (SEA) is among the newest School in Meru University of Science and Technology. It was established in July 2016. This happened after the Department of Engineering which was in the School of Information and Technology and Engineering became a full fledged School. Currently the School has three departments namely;
Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering
Department of Electrical, Electronics and Communications Engineering
Department of Mechanical and Mechatronics Engineering
Several academic programmes are currently run in the School. The Programmes include Degree, Diploma and Certificate programmes.
Degree programmes:
Bachelor of Technology in Civil Engineering
Bachelor of Technology in Mechanical Engineering
Bachelor of Technology in Electrical and Electronics in Engineering
Diploma programmes:
Diploma in Civil Engineering
Diploma in Electrical and Electronics Engineering
Diploma in Mechanical Engineering
Certificate Programmes:
Certificate in Electrical Installation
Certificate in Motor Vehicle Technology
The Mechanical Engineering Department has existed since the inception of the Meru College of Technology in 1984 later Meru University College of Science and Technology and finally Meru University of Science and Technology that was given Charter to operate as a full-fledged public university in 2013.Mechanical Engineering Department
The department initially offered craft and diploma courses in automotive engineering examined by the Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC). The department, part of the recently established School of Engineering and Architecture (SEA) currently offers a Bachelor of Technology degree in Mechanical Engineering, diploma in Mechatronic Engineering and certificate in motor vehicle technology.
Plans are under way to offer a Bachelor of Engineering degree in Mechanical and Mechatronic Engineering and later Petroleum Engineering, Chemical and Processing Engineering as well as Mining and Mineral Processing Engineering in order to address the current and future national labour needs and also towards attainment of the objectives of Kenya Vision 2030 and beyond.
The department is equipped with the state of the art training facilities that includes laboratories and workshops with CNC (computer numerically controlled) machines as well computers with internet access for research and training. We look forward to fulfilling our mandate of equipping young Kenyans with the necessary skills to drive this country and humanity forward.
Electrical and Electronic Engineering Department
The Electrical and Electronics Engineering Department has existed since 2003 under the then Meru College of Technology, which later became the Meru University College of Science and Technology and eventually the Meru University of Science and Technology in 2013 after receiving a charter.
Since its inception, the department offered craft courses examined by the Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC). In 2010, the department introduced Diploma and Certificate courses which it offered under the School of Information Technology and Engineering (SITE). In 2014, the department started offering degree courses in Engineering Technology under the Engineering department. In July 2016, the school of Engineering and Architecture (SEA) was formed, after the splitting of the initially one Engineering department into three departments (Civil, Electrical and Mechanical). The department of Electrical, Electronic and Communications Engineering currently operates under SEA.
There are plans to establish a bachelor of engineering degree course in Electrical, Electronic and Communications Engineering department to help diversify workforce to meet the demand for diversity in the rapidly growing industrial environment.
The department, through the support of the University,has acquired excellent equipment and training facilities that embrace modern technology to ensure learners are equipped with skills relevant to the latest technology. We feel sufficiently empowered to announce to Kenyans and the world in general that we are ready to equip them with knowledge to face tomorrow with courage.
Civil and Environmental Engineering Department
The Department started since the inception of the then Meru university college of Science and Technology in 2009 with the vision of training high qualified civil engineers whose talent ,skills, ability and knowledge meet the requirements and needs of the Nation and potential private employers. The Engineers are also expected to carry out research in order to bring new insight into the academia bases of Civil Engineering field.
The Meru University of Science and Technology Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering has a mission of planning ,design, and construction of buildings, bridges, tunnels, transportation facilities and other structures required for health, welfare ,safety, employment and pleasure of the society and for environmental control and use of natural resources.
The department of civil and Environmental Engineering of Meru University is committed to high standards in products and service delivery. In this regard, the department pledges to offer competitive and client-driven, academic programmes aimed at producing quality products and services to its customers. Guided by the University’s vision, mission and core values and collaboration with stake holders the department seeks to provide quality training, research and technological transfer in the field of Civil and Environmental Engineering through nurturing an intellectual culture that integrates theory with practice and innovation for sustainable national and global development.
