The College of Engineering is one of the eight undergraduate colleges of the University of Liberia (UL). It was established in May, 2016 as a result of the vision and commitment of the UL Administration, coupled with assistance received from national and international partners, and the dedication and hard work of the engineering faculty and staff. Before the establishment of the college, engineering education at the University, which commenced in the early 1970s, was offered in the College of Science and Technology.
The college currently runs five distinct undergraduate programs in separate departments: the Department of Civil Engineering, the Department of Electrical Engineering, the Department of Mechanical Engineering, the Department of Mining Engineering, and the Department of Geology. The structure of each program varies from department to department. Each program provides instruction in almost all of the major branches of their respective discipline, and offers the Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) degree upon completion. The programs are designed to incorporate classroom instruction and hands-on, practical training to ensure that graduates are well-versed in their areas of discipline and ready to assume professional responsibilities.
Additionally, the college provides fee-for-service to many clients in need of engineering-related services through its state-of-the-art laboratories, and is dedicated to providing a comprehensive educational experience, a high standard of professional integrity, and a commitment to national development. The fee-for-service program is one of the mechanisms that was put in place to help fill some financial gaps and assure the college’s ability to sustain its laboratory facilities and help develop a Center of Excellence in Engineering to support the socio-economic development of Liberia.
The mission and vision of the college are aligned with those of the University of Liberia. One of the world’s oldest colleges, the college’s vision is to transform the way that the world is understood, how knowledge is created, and how problems are approached and solved, including emerging problems. It also provides academic excellence, research, and teaching, ardently cherished and promoted, with an uncompromising devotion to a high premium placed on academic freedom and creative thinking.
Mr. Hun – Bu Tulay, former Liberia Water and Sewer Corporation (LWSC) Managing Director, is the Dean of the College of Engineering.
Having spent several years working in the United States and with the Government of Liberia, Mr. Tulay comes to the new job at the University of Liberia with many credentials, including BSc in Mathematics and Physics; BSc in Civil Engineering, and an MSc in Sanitary Engineering.
