KINGSTON, Jamaica — The University Council of Jamaica (UCJ) has accredited two engineering degrees at the University of Technology, Jamaica.
According to a release from the Papine-based university, the accreditation of its Bachelor of Engineering in Industrial Engineering and the Bachelor of Engineering in Civil Engineering is for the four-year period commencing July 1, 2015.
UTech, Jamaica President, Professor Stephen Vasciannie, in welcoming the achievement, noted that the university is in the midst of an effort to gain institutional accreditation, which would put “the stamp of quality” on the range of courses offered.
He added that the most recent accreditation of the engineering courses of study bodes well for the thrust towards institutional accreditation.
“Accreditation benefits the students of the university most of all; we are redoubling our efforts to achieve institutional accreditation for the University’s benefit and for that of the wider society,” Vasciannie said.
