The Engineering Institute of Technology (EIT) Mission & Goals
The Engineering Institute of Technology (EIT) mission is to provide our clients with measurable and significant productivity gains via cutting-edge and practical engineering education and training.
Advancing knowledge and understanding
The main premise of the Engineering Institute of Technology (EIT) is the inculcation of technical knowledge and understanding. Delegates enrol in the courses offered by the EIT to further their education, enhance their workplace experiences and prepare them for more challenging career paths.
The Engineering Institute of Technology (EIT) aims to enable individuals to learn throughout their lives; for personal growth and fulfilment, for effective participation in the workforce and for constructive contributions to society.
The Engineering Institute of Technology (EIT) learning pathways enable students to progress through the Diploma award levels towards Masters’ Degrees in a range of engineering fields. These pathways aim to satisfy the students’ personal growth and ambition. The practical and relevant content, presented by specialists in the fields, facilitate the delegates to participate energetically and competently in their workplaces and provide scope and opportunity for career promotions. With this ongoing professional development, in vital areas of study, students are well placed to contribute valuably to society and gain personal fulfilment.
Meeting the demands of the labour market through quality education
Prior to constructing the courses there are essentially two issues that are researched and considered in terms of the needs of industry and enterprise in the global engineering community:
- The requirements for the technical knowledge and expertise embodied in the course material
- The mechanism of instruction using synchronous e-learning
Equipping the community with social, cultural and international knowledge, skills and attitudes to improve the quality of life for all citizens
Students enrolled in courses with the Engineering Institute of Technology (EIT) are exposed, automatically, to social, cultural and international diversity. There are two main reasons for this:
- The Engineering Institute of Technology (EIT) instructors are drawn from around the world
- The students are a global mix as a consequence of the teaching methodology – an e-learning format which utilises an interactive software package to facilitate ‘classroom’ networking and study
- Contributing to a democratic, equitable and civilised society
Education of any sort is a vital contributor to a civilisation with democracy and equality as its foundation blocks. It follows that the Engineering Institute of Technology (EIT), with its mission to provide sound and ongoing tuition to its delegates, particularly in an area crucial to the building of society’s infrastructure, holds this as a vital goal.
Contributing to an improved national economy through high levels of skills, knowledge and research, including collaborative research with business, industry and government
Engineers and technicians are crucial to an efficient economy. The Engineering Institute of Technology (EIT) offers delegates the opportunity to either hone or upgrade their existing engineering skills or to retrain in other vital areas of engineering study.
The Engineering Institute of Technology (EIT) is dedicated to community research to ensure that educational demands are met. Furthermore, the Engineering Institute of Technology (EIT) utilises national and international instructors who are active in industry and business. This ensures that the education provided to delegates is practical, relevant and on the cutting edge of technology.
The encouragement of feedback from all sectors of the institute, including the clients, ensures that the learning remains dynamic and relevant and thus pertinent to global economies.
