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, media, VR, communications systems, 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 they choose.

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 urgent need to renew the economy. 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 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 Chartered Institute of Building (UK - CIOB), the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (UK - RICS), the South African Council for the Quantity Surveying Profession (SACQSP) and the South African Council for the Project and Construction Management Professions (SACPCMP) 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 the 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, endowed professorships or chairs, and funded research entities. We value and cherish our role in our city, our Nation, and the world.
