New pre-engineering programme
The Pre-Engineering programme is a “special mix of educational components … put together specifically to provide an alternative path for potential regional candidates,” into the BSc programmes offered by the Engineering Faculty, explained Professor Brian Copeland, Dean, Faculty of Engineering. He was one of the key speakers at the launch, which took place on Tuesday 7th September, 2010. The programme is a collaboration between the Faculty of Engineering and The UWI Open Campus. Students of the programme will take classes in Mathematics, Introduction to Engineering, Introduction to IT and Technical Drawing, with a special focus on the practical skills necessary for the working world.

A new programme at The UWI will bring some relief to Caribbean students interested in Engineering, but not having qualifications to enter the Faculty of Engineering. The UWI St Augustine Campus has launched a Pre-Engineering programme, the latest addition to its family of pre-professional programmes.
