Overview
Advances in engineering and technology have led to dramatic improvements in the standards of living of humans over time. Well-designed roads, bridges and highways, magnificent skyscrapers and huge mansions in cities and towns, posh cars and planes, smart phones, television, sophisticated medical devices, etc. make life safer, more comfortable and enjoyable than the stone and iron age men.Engineering and technology form the backbones of any economy and generally deal with the design, implementation, operation and maintenance of public, industrial, commercial, consumer products, systems and infrastructure. The Faculty of Engineering and Technology (FET) at BIUST is poised to be the pacesetter in engineering education in the South African sub-region in particular and to be ranked among the best in the world in general.
