BSc. Engineering degrees from prestigeous AIT
A crystal clearpath is now open for all youth of Sri Lanka who aspire to become world class engineers armed with professionallyrecognized full 4 year BSc. Engineering degree. The value of these degrees is underlined by gthe unshakeable fact that the degrees are offered by that highly respected and prestigeous Asian Institute of Technology (AIT) Bangkok, Thailand, the only international, intergovernmental independent university in the world. This UN backed university, well known throughout the world for high quality degrees in engineering and for post graduate engineering research has stepped into produce high quality engineers at a time when there is a huge demand for engineers in all disciplines. This has given an opportunity for students of all the countries in the region, including Sri Lanka, where many brainy and qualified students are deprived of pursuing their dream of becoming engineering professionals due to entry restrictions at state sector universities and the high cost of foreign elsewhere.
AIT with the full backing of the government of Sri Lanka, which is a signatory to AIT charter and also a member of its governing body, offers BSc. Engineering degree courses in Civil and Infrastructure engineering, Mechatronics engineering, Electronics engineering, ICT engineering, Industrial engineering, Telecommunication engineering and BSc. Degree courses in Bio systems and Environmental engineering covering the full range of engineering disciplines relevant to world today. In introducing highly sought after BSc. Degrees in Environmental engineering and Bio systems engineering it is heartening to note that AIT has opened the doors for those students who have sat for A. Levels in bio science stream to become professionals in the respective fields of study.
Already around 150 Sri Lankan students in two batches are studying at AIT in the 3rd and 4th years of the degree courses having completed their first two years of study at South Asian Institute of Technology and Medicine (SAITM), Malabe which is AIT’s local partner. SAITM provides the undergraduate (UG) program the necessary infrastructure in par with AIT standards and boasts of a faculty which maintains highest academic standards as stipulated by AIT. It is noteworthy that academics of SAITM faculty of engineering consist of well qualified post graduates from highly acclaimed universities around the world, with 90% of them being PhD holders. This include a strong fulltime staff and a selection of highly respected visiting professors and senior lecturers from state universities. The training imparted to students by these AIT endorsed academia is highly appreciated by the professionals in the engineering industry circles who are impressed by the knowledge level, standards displayed and the work ethics of SAITM/AIT UG’s at industrial training.
The programme consisting of numerous industry visits, guest lectures and demonstration tours ensure that all students are smoothly transferred to AIT after successfully completing the first two years where AIT provides dormitory facilities within the campus premises. It is indeed a tremendous acievement by SAITM faculty of engineering that all the transferred students doing extremely well with 20 of them securing scholarships based on merit on exceptional academic achievements.
Currently over 250 UG’s are studying at SAITM of which 150 are to be transferred in August 2013. Enrolments are now on for the 7th intake to commence in January 2013 who will graduate as BSc. Engineers in 2016.
AIT and SAITM encourage students in math or bio stream with a minimum 3 passes in A levels and those who are pending A level results, confident of passes, to take this opportunity of a lifetime where your dreams are guaranteed to be realized. For further details visit www.saitm.edu.lk
