Workshop on Accreditation of Engineering Programmes The Faculty of Engineering, UoM is Mauritius’s top Engineering Faculty with more than 3000 students. It aspires to provide world class education and produce first-class engineers and graduates. In order to further enhance the quality of its graduates, the Faculty of Engineering is currently in the process of seeking international accreditation of its engineering programme with the Engineering Council of South Africa (ECSA). Accreditation will add more value to the engineering programmes by ensuring that the Faculty of Engineering meets international standards while educating and training engineers. In addition, accreditation will facilitate global mobility and increase employment opportunities for graduates. ECSA has accepted the request of the Faculty for assistance to develop our engineering qualifications to meet international standards and suggested the organization of a training workshop. This training workshop on accreditation was organised on the Thursday 6th and Friday 7th June 2013. The primary objective of the workshop was to familiarise all staff of the Faculty with the guidelines and requirements of the Engineering Council of South Africa and the accreditation process. The training workshop was delivered by three resource persons namely; Mr. Roderick Arthur HARKER - Engineering Council South Africa Prof Beatrys Margaretha LACQUET- Dean, Faculty of Engineering, University of Witwatersrand, Johannesburg Senior Manager at ESKOM Dr Zwanani Titus MATHE - The Vice-Chancellor of the University officially launched the workshop. Overall, 55 persons attended the workshop including representatives from the CRPE and IEM. Following the workshop, members of the Faculty of Engineering are now fully aware of the expectations of the Engineering Council of South Africa and have renewed their commitment in seeking international accreditation.
