UTT’s Utilities and Sustainable Engineering Programmes - the National Engineering Technician Diploma (NETD) in Instrumentation Engineering, the NETD in Electrical/ Electronic Engineering, and the Bachelor of Applied Science (B.A.Sc.) in Utilities Engineering - were reaccredited in June 2023 with the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) of the UK. 

The NETD in Renewable Energy Engineering Technology was launched in 2020 and received accreditation for the first time in 2023. This accreditation was backdated to 2020. 

All programmes were accredited for a period of three years, until August 31st, 2026. 

The National Engineering Technician Diplomas are accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) on behalf of the Engineering Council for the purposes of fully meeting the academic requirements for registration as an Engineering Technician and partially meeting the academic requirement for registration as an Incorporated Engineer. 

The Bachelor of Applied Science in Utilities Engineering is accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) on behalf of the Engineering Council for the purposes of partially meeting the academic requirement for registration as a Chartered Engineer. 

The re-accreditation exercise was conducted between June 5th and 7th, 2023, with the IET accreditation panel comprising of Professor Bill Drury, Mr. Denis Marchant and Mrs. Lorna Hadfield. 

The panel stated it was particularly impressed with the range of resources available to support the delivery of the bachelor-level programmes. They also noted that each UTT campus which supports the delivery of Utilities and Sustainable Engineering programmes, offers spacious buildings and lecture rooms with adequate support by the University’s virtual learning environment, CANVAS, a modern library and various suitably equipped laboratories.
