Faculty of Engineering

FACULTY OF ENGINEERING

Background

Faculty of engineering was established in 1973-74 and first Somalia Engineers were graduated 1978, it was with two departments of Industrial and civil and environmental engineering. The faculty was giving fresh engineers each year until 1990, when civil war erupted in the country.

Right now the faculty is re-established (2016-20117), and within five years time it will assume producing new Somali engineers Insha’Allah.

Introduction

Faculty of Engineering is the indispensible part of Somali Community development; its curriculum will answer our community concerns towards infrastructure and development. The faculty is established and supported for community welfare and development.

Objectives of the faculty

Objectives of the faculty are to cover the necessity of the engineers in the country and to answer for the national development plan which could not be achieved without capable engineers in the country. This faculty will stand and encourage our country’s industrial and infrastructure development.

Vision and Mission

Vision

Our vision is to uniquely position the Faculty as a leader in innovation and excellence in engineering through education, research and scholarship for those front runners from the students in a professional framework reflecting our social responsibility. The Faculty believes its prime driver for success in all these areas should emanate from targeted research that attracts highly qualified faculty graduate students, and enhances the attractiveness and quality of the undergraduate program.
The Faculty will continue to support the individual research initiatives of its professors, but will promote a strong focus on inter-disciplinary research in high-interest and impact areas as perceived by governments and industry requirements: faculty focuses on

Critical infrastructure design and survivability
Sustainable energy and environmental technologies
Creation of standards for the country’s engineering systems.

Mission

The Faculty of Engineering provides its graduates with top quality education in engineering with its departments (Civil & Environmental, Mechanical, Electrical as well as computer engineering), it is preparing students to practice their professions competently to meet the ever-changing needs of society, and to continue learning their discipline, allowing them to move into the real world needs. Excellence and diversity in research are essential to the future of our students.

Our mission is to build dependable engineers in the future their country and the world as well. We forecast that we will engage strong collaboration with country industries and government research laboratories. The Faculty encourages a spirit of national and international level of technology competition amongst its students and personnel. The Faculty strives to provide a learning environment that promotes excellence and innovation, ethical practice and responsibility towards society. The Faculty is committed to a culture built on respect of the individual and fair treatment for all.

Values

The Faculty of Engineering at the Somali National University is designed to be a dynamic community of students. Faculty members and future researchers are both the base of proposed excellence in education, research, and professional services to the engineering.
