(EBIT)

The Faculty of Engineering, Built Environment and Information

Technology (EBIT)

is situated at the main campus of the

University of Pretoria in Hatfield

EBIT Faculty offers internationally competitive and locally relevant education, research and community involvement in the Engineering, built environment and information technology professions.

The Faculty has extensive and cutting-edge teaching, learning and laboratory facilities integrated with the excellent suite of facilities and services offered by the University.

High quality graduates that will make a meaningful contribution to society

The EBIT Faculty comprises of fourschools:

• The School of Engineering• The School for the Built Environment• The School of Information Technology

and• The Graduate School of TechnologyManagement (GSTM)

The School of EngineeringThis is the largest School of its kind in the country in terms of student numbers, graduates and research contributions and offers programmes in all the major engineering disciplines, with many specialisations also offered at undergraduate and graduate level. This School offers a wide range of accredited programs, leading professors and excellent students and facilities. The school also has close cooperation with industry.

The School of Engineering offers BEng degree in the following disciplines:•Chemical Engineering•Civil Engineering•Computer, Electrical and Electronic Engineering•Industrial and Systems Engineering•Mechanical and Aeronautical Engineering•Materials Science and Metallurgical Engineering•Mining Engineering

ENGineering Augmented Degree Programme (ENGAGE)The School of Engineering also offers degrees in an extended program; ENGAGE The goal is to increase ACCESS and SUCCESS for Engineering students who have the potential but do not meet the normal entry requirementsThis programme affords students more time in the initial three years and supports them better.

The School for the Built Environment

Offers the entire spectrum of programmes in the Built Environment, with studio-based education in the architectural degrees and close ties and alignment with the building industry.The School offers the following programmes:•BSc Architecture•BSc Interior Architecture•BSc Landscape Architecture•BSc Construction Management•BSc Real Estate•BSc Quantity Survey•Bachelor of Town and Regional Planning

The School of Information Technology

Its unique and the first of its kind in South Africa, where students have the advantage of an integrated approach to Information Technology (IT) with study programmes and modern laboratories in Computer Science, Informatics and Information Science.

The School of Information Technology also accommodates students with potential who need additional development and support to meaningfully participate in our programs:Extended programs (4 year programmes) in IT extend the existing three year programmes to four year programmes.This caters for students who wish to enter degrees within SIT without the necessarypre-requisites for the degree.Two extended programmes:•BSc IT (Information and Knowledge Systems)•BIS (Multimedia)

Excellent facilities: Eng 1, 2, 3 …

• Student numbers increased significantly over the last decade with a pass rate of 82 % (Module Pass Rate of first years)

• This number is expected to grow due to the attraction of the recently opened Engineering Study Centre which accommodates over 800 students
