Civil Engineering Department

This is one of the oldest and giant Departments in the College. It was established in 1978.It offers various programmes leading to both Diploma and Bachelor’s degree awards. In order to keep abreast with global technological changes,training in the Department ensures that learners possess the necessary competences in the world of work. Apart from the training activities, the Department offers consultancy in the buildings and civil works whenever needed.Applied research is another core function of the Department.


Civil Engineering Students in Practical Session off Class Hours

While the Civil Engineering Programme was introduced in the Department in 1978,in the Academic year 2010/11 the Department introduced a new undergraduate programme of Civil and Irrigation Engineering. A year later the Department introduced a similar programme of Civil and Irrigation Engineering at Diploma level.The civil and irrigation engineering programme is a multi-sector programme, which is designed to train graduates who will serve both irrigation (agricultural) sector and construction industry.The Department has competent staff and well-equipped laboratories/workshops and classrooms which enabling the smooth running of the training as stipulated in the curricula.The Department also uses outsourced experts in areas which skills are not available in the Department to ensure that students are getting what they deserve.

In implementing the Civil and Irrigation Engineering Programme, the Department works closely with Japanese advisors dispatched by the government of Japan through its International Cooperation Agency (JICA) as part of cooperation between the Governments of Tanzania and Japan. The College has constructed a new building in its effort to increase students enrollment and acquire state of art laboratories and equipment for civil and irrigation engineering programmes.

Automotive Department in Brief

The department offers Ordinary Diploma in Automotive Engineering and Auto Electric and Electronics Engineering under the National Technical Award (NTA) framework covering levels 4-6. These awards are competence based and designed to testify that the holders possess the requisite skills and knowledge necessary to flexibly apply competences in the automotive service, maintenance, repairs and other relevant occupational sectors.It is anticipated that the department shall bring in a new program – Heavy Duty Equipment Technology (HDET) engineering in the academic year 2015/16 and thereafter contribute in preparing highly qualified and skilled technical human resource at the category of technicians to serve the growing mining and construction sectors in the country and region at large.The Automotive department has established Automotive Advisory Committee which shall put together potential stakeholders from the Automotive industry working with the ATC and provide them a platform to advise the department on how to fill prevailing gaps between what is delivered by the programs and the emerging technologies in the industry and which are relevant to the markets where the graduates we are preparing are going to work.The Automotive department supported by the College Management and external partners is in the process of establishing e-learning for automotive technology modules on the condition that the students will be ready to pay some agreed fees and during pilot period shall remain optional to students. This is an opportunity for us to teach and learn the latest developments in automotive technology by using interactive animations and simulations to enable students learn faster, retain more and come up and meet latest technologies.Academic year 2014_2015 is the second year of implementation of the ATC reviewed curricula in the department; this means that levels 4 and 5 shall be in this implementation of the curricula.The department is wishing all the best to our students and let them remember that today’s life in auto industry maintenance and repairs is full of things and to stay ahead we need to achieve on many fronts by practicing multi-tasking using the departmental motto that “Deeds and Not Words” in all of the activities they are going to undertake.
