Associate Professor Dorothy Okello, PhD.
Dean, School of Engineering, Makerere University.
The School of Engineering welcomes its past, present, and future stakeholders to this website. This site provides information about engineering as a discipline in Uganda, the student population, courses offered, projects managed, partnerships, and staff capacity. For long, the discipline of engineering had not been popular in Uganda. Most people did not know what engineering was all about. Even at this University, engineering was taught as a subject in combination with other subjects. There was no fully fledged engineering degree programme.
The demand for engineers became prominent in the 1990’s. This could partly be attributed to the increasing need for infrastructure development and technological advancements. The School of Engineering addressed the gap by starting undergraduate and graduate programmes in various engineering fields, including civil engineering, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, and others.
The school offer a number of PhD studies
