As Dean of the Faculty of Engineering at Zanzibar University, it gives me great pleasure to welcome you to our Faculty which is home to an outstanding community of students, faculty and staff. I invite you to look through the web pages of our Academic Departments and Project Center to learn more about the wide range of majors and minors we offer and the impactful projects by our faculty, researchers and students, which underpins our passion for ‘engineering with a purpose.

The Faculty of Engineering is currently home to over 50 undergraduate students. Our faculty and researchers are at the forefront of creating new knowledge that is integral to societal sustainability. Our thematic research in Energy, Water, Environment, and Healthcare is underpinned by our fundamental strength in advanced materials, manufacturing, robotics, artificial intelligence and information and communications technologies.

Our students, throughout their academic journey, are driven by the curiosity to engineer holistic solutions through team work and they exhibit tremendous creativity in freshman design, innovation and entrepreneurship, and capstone projects.
At the FoE, through the creation and dissemination of knowledge and the strong engagement with industry and stakeholders, we are a catalyst for economic development in the Zanzibar, the Tanzania, and the wider world.
