Masinde Muliro University of Science and Technology (MMUST) School of Engineering and Built Environment is undertaking a two-day capacity-building training on Washington Accord readiness, facilitated by The Engineers Board of Kenya(EBK).
The training, organized by the Dean-School of Engineering and Built Environment, brings together University top management, lecturers and relevant faculty members, with a focus on enhancing their understanding of Washington Accord requirements, EBK accreditation expectations and Outcome-Based Education (OBE) principles.
The capacity-building programme aims to establish a common understanding of Washington Accord requirements and accreditation expectations, while equipping participants with the knowledge and practical approaches required to strengthen the University's engineering programmes in line with internationally recognized standards. The training further provides an opportunity for participants to engage with key aspects of outcome-based curriculum design, implementation, assessment and continuous improvement as the University advances its engineering accreditation agenda.
The event was graced by the Deputy Vice Chancellor, Academic and Student Affairs, Prof. Hussein Golicha. He underscored the University’s commitment to strengthening the quality, relevance and international recognition of its engineering programmes through alignment with Washington Accord requirements and Outcome-Based Education (OBE) principles.
