FACULTY OF ENGINEERING AND THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT

Look around you. No matter where you are, what you will see is the evidence of the activity of Engineering and the

Built Environment professionals. We often take for granted our roads, bridges, buildings, cities, cars, aeroplanes,

fuels, energy, financial systems, television, VR, telephones, medical devices - but none of these would be possible

without these professionals.

The University prides itself on producing graduates of the highest quality, who reflect the country’s diversity in terms of

race, class, ethnicity, sexual orientation and gender. At Wits we focus on graduating young people who have the

critical and analytical skills required to contribute to developing South Africa’s economy, but also have the practical

know-how and leadership qualities to make them equivalent to the best in the world, and capable of attaining

leadership positions anywhere

Development of Scarce Skills

The production of Engineering and the Built Environment graduates in South Africa has to increase to allow us to

respond to the challenges posed by the National Development Plan and the renewed impetus in the economy of the

country and the region.

A vastly expanded local development of high-level, scarce technical and design skills is therefore a national

imperative. The Wits Faculty of Engineering and the Built Environment takes its responsibility in producing skilled

young graduates very seriously, and we encourage our graduates and their families and friends to partner with us to

improve our facilities, and in so doing play an active role in ensuring the best possible future for all. We continue

building a faculty that not only offers the very best teaching, learning and research facilities, but it is also a great

place to visit.

Accreditation

All of our first degrees in engineering are accredited by the Engineering Council of South Africa (ECSA) under the

Washington Accord. Career opportunities for engineers are limitless, extending beyond the engineering sector. The

BSc (Construction Studies) is accredited by the South African Institute of Building, the Chartered Institute of

Building, UK (CIOB), the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS), UK, the South African Council for

Quantity Surveying Profession and the South African Council for the Project and Construction Management

Professions whilst the BSc Property Studies is accredited by the South African Council for the Property Valuers

Profession and is recognized by the USA’s Institute for Real Estate Management (IREM). At the Honours level, the

BSc Honours in Construction Management and Quantity surveying respectively are accredited by the South African

Council for Quantity Surveying Profession and the South African Council for the Project and Construction

Management Professions and both Honours degrees are accredited internationally by the CIOB and RICS.

The Bachelor of Architectural Studies and Master of Architecture (Professional) are accredited by the South African

Council for the Architectural Professions (SACAP) and the Commonwealth Association of Architects (CAA). The

Bachelor of Science, Urban and Regional Planning (Hons) and Masters of Science in Development Planning are

accredited by the South African Council for Planning (SACPLAN).

The Faculty also maintains strong links with industry – via student bursaries, scholarships and internships – and has

the highest number of endowed professorships or chairs at Wits. We value and cherish our role in our city, our

Nation, and the world.
