Setting Standards: Quality engineering education starts long before the first class. The EBK Engineering Accreditation Committee is at Masinde Muliro University of Science and Technology for a two-day training of lecturers, university staff and top management. The training supports the move of the Bachelor of Science in Electrical and Electronics Engineering programme to Tier I (Washington Accord-aligned) accreditation. At the centre of the training is Outcome-Based Education (OBE). Here is why it matters: • It starts with the end in mind. OBE first defines what a graduate engineer must be able to do, then designs every course, lab and assessment to get them there. • It measures what students can demonstrate, not just what was taught. • It builds in continuous improvement, so the programme gets better with every cohort. • It aligns Kenyan programmes with the Washington Accord graduate attributes, the global benchmark for engineering education, as Kenya works towards Full Signatory status. At this stage, the Board’s focus is on building the School’s own capacity, starting with the University’s leadership. Accreditation measures quality; capacity builds it. #EngineeringExcellenceKe #WashingtonAccordPreparedness

The Engineers Board of Kenya (EBK) Engineering Accreditation Committee (EAC) has commenced a training workshop for lecturers and university staff at Zetech University to support the transition of its proposed Bachelor of Science in Electrical and Electronics Engineering programme to Tier I accreditation. The programme, submitted to the Board earlier this year, represents an opportunity to strengthen Kenya’s pipeline of engineers equipped with the skills, knowledge and competencies required to meet the demands of a rapidly evolving economy. Representing the Ag. Registrar/CEO, Eng. Otieno Abich Manager - Graduate Engineers Internship Program (GEIP) commended @ZetechUni for taking this important step even before commencement of the programme. He noted that the training will strengthen the capacity of lecturers and university staff to implement Washington Accord-aligned Outcome-Based Education (OBE), ensuring that the programme is designed and delivered in line with internationally recognised professional and accreditation standards. #EngineeringStandardsKe

The impact extends beyond accreditation. By embedding quality, innovation and industry-relevant competencies into engineering education, the initiative will contribute to producing globally competitive engineers capable of driving technological advancement, industrial growth and sustainable development in Kenya. Zetech University Vice Chancellor, Prof. Njenga Munene, reaffirmed the institution’s commitment to the journey, noting that the university is intentional about providing quality education that produces globally competitive engineers. The engagement also contributes to Kenya’s broader ambition of attaining Full Signatory Status to the Washington Accord by 2029, following the country’s achievement of Provisional Signatory Status in June 2025. Tier I accreditation provides the outcomes-based benchmark against which engineering programmes are assessed under the Accord. As EBK continues working with universities across the country, these partnerships remain critical to strengthening engineering education, enhancing graduate mobility and ensuring that Kenya’s engineers are prepared to compete and contribute on the global stage. #EngineeringStandardsKe

EBK and KRB Explore Collaboration on Engineering Capacity and Road Infrastructure Standards The Kenya Roads Board (@KRB_Kenya) hosted the Engineers Board of Kenya (EBK) during a courtesy call by Ag. Registrar/CEO, Eng. Grace Onyango, to the Director General, KRB, Judith Otsyula. The meeting provided an opportunity for the two institutions to explore areas of collaboration aimed at strengthening engineering capacity, professionalism and quality infrastructure delivery in the roads sector. Discussions focused on developing tailor-made capacity-building programmes for engineers at KRB, with a particular focus on road maintenance, works contracts, price adjustment, technical audits and other areas relevant to their roles. The proposed programmes are intended to strengthen professional capacity and enhance the value engineers bring to road-sector planning, implementation and oversight. The discussions also recognised the need to enhance the understanding of non-engineering staff who work closely with engineers, particularly on areas such as contracts and technical audits, to promote more effective collaboration and decision-making. The two institutions further explored opportunities for joint capacity building and the development of standards for road maintenance, with a view to promoting consistency, quality and professionalism in the sector. #CapacityBuildingKe #EngineeringSustainability
