OBJECTIVES Engineering graduate programs offer advanced specialized training in the various fields of engineering and aim primarily

to provide opportunities for advancement in the field of engineering. They are designed to prepare engineers for effective participation and leadership in the countrys industrialization. Advanced materials are presented in the form of course work and research to develop in the students better understanding of, and greater skill in solving new and old engineering problems. DEGREE PROGRAMS OFFERED
Diploma (Dip) Remote Sensing Water Resources Master of Engineering (M.E.) Electrical Engineering
