COLLEGE OVERVIEW

The College of Engineering is one of the eight undergraduate colleges of the University of Liberia (UL). It was established in May, 2016 as the 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.  Prior to 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 in order 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.
