University Of Pretoria Engineering 1 Pretoria

Technological innovation and its management and application are essential for the creation of prosperity in any country. The Engineering School of the University of Pretoria gives students the education to make a considerable contribution in this field.

Through it’s innovative and relevant research across seven departments, the school of Engineering at the University of Pretoria provides it’s Students with the necessary training to make a considerable contribution to engineering in South Africa and abroad. Below are the cutting-edge departments in the school:

Industrial and Systems Engineering

EBIT’s Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering works towards the integration of contributions from all engineering disciplines into a functional and cost effective product by using systems knowledge and understanding. It focuses on supply chain management, enterprise engineering and optimisation and collaborates with the centre for Transport Development.

Industrial engineering is an extensive field of study since it consists of many diverse scientific disciplines with interfaces to various fields of study, from the sciences to engineering and management. It is able to integrate the contributions of all the other engineering disciplines into a final, functional and marketable product, at the lowest possible cost.

Chemical Engineering

It is the aim of the Department to produce graduates who are capable of making a contribution to the growth of the country, who are well-equipped to apply their understanding of chemical engineering principles to the many challenges and opportunities locally, but who can also make significant contributions in the international arena. Our accredited undergraduate program is recognised internationally by the co-signatories of the Washington Accord. About 100 students graduate annually with a BEng-degree in Chemical Engineering. This qualification is fully accredited by ECSA (Engineering Council of South Africa) enabling registration of graduates as Candidate Engineer and after the required exposure to industry, for application to register as Pr.Eng.

We believe that specialisation can only follow on a sound foundation – that is why our undergraduate curriculum ensures that this requirement is met. Our focus groups are mutually supportive, address the cutting-edge research questions of the day and put a strong focus on issues related to energy, biotechnology and the environment. At postgraduate level, our department specialises in:
