Shock of Unapproved Engineering Courses Offered by the Following Kenyan Universities: One week ago, a friend sent me a daily newspaper dated March 11 2022. The front part of it had politics, just as it is the norm of every Kenyan newspaper. The back part of it had an interesting topic that will form the major part of this article. Ladies and Gentlemen, wherever you are reading this article from, welcome to Mpya News Kenya in one of its most interesting gig that is either affecting you, your siblings, friends or cousins. A number of Engineering course in the country are not approved by the Engineering board of Kenya. Read this:
The fate of thousands of Engineering students in Kenya hangs on the balance, following the announcement that thirty six Engineering courses offered are not approved by the Engineering board of Kenya(EBK). What does this mean for you as a student? It means that the students cannot be registered as Engineers upon graduation and risk missing employment opportunities within the country and abroad.
Its more shocking to learn that some of these courses are even being offered in more established Universities in the country that ought to be accredited, of the likes of University of Nairobi and JKUAT that have a number of unapproved courses.
Njoro’s Egerton University is at the top of the list, having five unapproved engineering courses. They include: Civil and Environmental engineering, electrical and control engineering, civil and structural engineering, mechanical engineering and technology as well as Manufacturing engineering. Kenyatta University follows closely having four unapproved engineering courses including the famous petroleum Engineering.
Giving her remarks, the Registrar of the Engineering board of Kenya, Ms Margaret Ogal, said that it is a waste of resources for the parents and students taking unaccredited courses and such waste affects our country’s economy negatively. Other unaccredited Engineering courses include:
Machakos University: Civil engineering, Electrical and electronics, Mechanical Engineering.
University of Embu: Civil Engineering.
TUM: Bsc Medical Engineering.
MMU: Bsc Civil Engineering
DEKUT: Bsc Chemical Engineering
SEKU: Agricultural engineering, Civil Engineering, Electrical and Electronics, Mechanical Engineering.
Strathmore: Electrical and Electronics.
Muranga University: Electrical and Electronics.
