Stakeholder Workshop on Engineering Professionals Bill 2024
2025-07-03 08:00 - 17:00
The School of Engineering is hosted under the College of Engineering, Design, Art and Technology (CEDAT),
one of the constituent colleges of Makerere University. The School of Engineering is headed by the Dean and
currently hosts four Departments, each headed by a Departmental Chair. The Departments are: (1) Department of
Civil and Environmental Engineering; (2) Department of Computer and Communications Engineering; (3)
Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering; and (4) Department of Mechanical Engineering.
As a key stakeholder in the training of past, present and future engineering professionals, the School of Engineering
(SoEng) embarked on a multi stakeholder consultative process to bring the voice of the academia and other
stakeholders to the legislative process for the proposed Engineering Professionals Bill 2024. The consultations
were carried out at both individual and institutional levels, encompassing a cross section of stakeholders.
In early 2025, the memorandum was presented to Parliament and a number of matters arising emerged. It should
be acknowledged that owing to the broad extent of the consultations carried out, this memorandum, in a sense,
represented the views of Uganda’s engineering academia as well as a wide cross-section of industry stakeholders.
Following submission of the memorandum on the Engineering Professionals Bill 2024 to the Parliament of
Uganda, the School of Engineering at Makerere University is facilitating this follow-up meeting with the Ministry
of Works and Transport—the originators of the Bill. The engagement seeks to provide a platform for dialogue on
key issues and recommendations raised during stakeholder consultations and the parliamentary presentation. It is
an opportunity, as academia, to work collaboratively to contribute to the Bill and align it with broader needs of the
engineering profession and Uganda’s national development priorities.

Separated they live in Bookmarksgrove right at the coast of the Semantics, a large language ocean. A small river named Duden flows by their place and supplies it with the necessary regelialia. It is a paradisematic country, in which roasted parts of sentences fly into your mouth. Even the all-powerful Pointing has no control about the blind texts it is an almost unorthographic life One day however a small line of blind text by the name

Their artistic approach is marked by linking the traditional past with the present. They adopted European media and combined these tools and techniques with the traditional form of uli (traditional Igbo designs and styles) which is often described as linear and two-dimensional. Drawings and prints by artists like El Anatsui, Obiora Udechukwu and Olu Oguibe among others.
