SCHOOL OF SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING

HEAD OF SCHOOL WELCOME MESSAGE

Are you interested in how electricity and machines function; how voice and data communication work or what construction work entails? Interested in chemical reaction or a passion in innovative interior design and architecture? If so, you have come to the right place.

At the School of Science and Engineering, we believe in possessing a positive attitude. Team this up with innovative thinking, ability to cope with uncertainty and challenges, efficient use of technology, effective communication and collaboration with others will lead to success and achievement.

As technology is constantly changing, lecturers could not just sit back and teach 'old' and obsolete technologies. With the support of the Programme Advisory Committee members (PAC) who are experts from the relevant industries (both private and public sector), the School of Science and Engineering continue (and will continue to do so) to develop relevant programmes to fulfil the demands and expectation of the 21st century. More importantly, they are designed to ensure that the gap between engineering education and practice is minimal.

Innovative approach to teaching and learning are carefully crafted; for example with the use of Moodle platform. Coupled together with both hands-on and theory-based learning, students will experience exciting and engaging setting which will produced to encourage innovation and teamwork skills.

Politeknik Brunei is targeting to achieve ISO 9001: 2015 by the end of 2016. The School of Science and Engineering is in the process of obtaining accreditation from the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) UK. By collaborating with the Department of Quality Assurance (QA), QA processes are developed and implemented to ensure that the programmes are continually improving and in line with the latest guidance and good practice. Accreditation provides benchmarking against other accredited programmes and affirms the reputation of the School of Science and Engineering as a quality provider of engineering education.

The combination of outstanding teaching staff and commitment from the students, the School of Science and Engineering can produce leaders of tomorrow, who can meet the needs of the industry, in terms of having socio-technical competencies (for example; hands-on, theoretical, and social settings).

Whichever programme you are undertaking (Mechanical, Civil, Electrical, Well, Communications, Science technology, Interior Design and Architecture), we will work together with you, to achieve your future goals and to groom you to be leaders of tomorrow. Remember, having a positive mind-set is the way forward.

All the best!
