Boards of the School

ADVISORY BOARD

The School Advisory Board comprises industrialists from companies and institutions with association with the School of Engineering through a history of providing student employment, placements and projects, involvement with collaborative research or consultancy of specific industrial relevance to the School and those with keen interest in the development of the right human resource necessary for the development of the Zambian economy.

While we constantly strive to keep our course-curricula up-to-date, we recognise the unique opportunity that the School of Engineering Advisory Board can offer in giving us real industrial input into our programmes. The Board assists in commenting on and helping in improving course provision and content, which in turn will assist students to acquire skills that are more relevant to the job market.

The Board consists of members from the industry, the Heads of Department in the School of Engineering and other members of the Copperbelt University staff and students.
