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.
