The decision to renew our Academic-Professional Partnership with the Institute of Highway Engineers (IHE) underscores the clear advantages we have experienced since inception of this collaboration. At the Unit of Project Management and Civil Infrastructure Systems (PMCIS), this partnership has significantly enriched our students’ academic journey by seamlessly integrating theory with hands-on practice in highway and transportation engineering. By leveraging IHE’s wealth of resources, its international professional network, and its industry-recognised standards, our students are now better equipped to respond to the dynamic demands of today’s engineering sector. This renewal affirms our mutual dedication to cultivating globally competent civil engineers and strengthening the professional talent pipeline in Trinidad and Tobago and across the Caribbean.
