JKUAT continuously reviews her programmes and continues to develop new ones in order to
respond to technological and market driven developments so as to ensure that graduates can
apply modern technologies in the industry.
In the country, renewable energy uptake is at a low phase, which can partly be attributed to lack of specialists who can champion the exploitation and utilization of these resources. In addition, the recent discovery of oil resources as well as the growth of the energy sector and demand for sustainable energy has led to the development of this new academic programme, Bachelor of Science in Energy and Environmental Technology.
Sustainable exploitation of resources for energy and handling of the accompanying
environmental challenges is critical for the realization of clean development. This programme
incorporates units that address sustainable production, transmission and management of energy
resources as well as sustainable handling of the environmental challenges.
The programme addresses the energy industry’s need for technical graduates who bring a unique mix of
technology and environmental science skills and knowledge to the workplace that will set them apart from graduates of traditional technology programmes.
It is designed to provide interdisciplinary approaches in order to produce graduates who can competitively offer solutions in all fields and areas in the energy and environment sector both locally and globally.
