Since their creation, the Engineering Departments have expanded rapidly with the recruiting of new faculty and with the admission of increasing number of undergraduate and graduate students. The Departments have enjoyed considerable success in attracting research funding during this period. Through this development phase, we created the laboratory and information technology infrastructure to support our mission of providing high–quality educational and research programs to students.

Our vision is to create an environment that supports high-quality research, teaching and scholarship and to become leading Engineering Departments in the area of SE Europe that are appreciated locally and recognised internationally for high standards in education and research.
Among our objectives and targets are a) to recruit the best available faculty and to create a collaborative environment  b) to offer a first class education and training to students that will be recognized by the professions and society c) to build research infrastructure for offering graduate studies and attracting funding for supporting post-graduate students to achieve excellence in research and d) to serve the local society needs in advanced knowledge on high technology and engineering for sustainable developments.
