FACULTY OF ENGINEERING, BUILT ENVIRONMENT AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY( EBIT)
IN A NUTSHELL
The Faculty of Engineering, Built Environment and Information Technology( EBIT) at the University of Pretoria aims to be a leading research-intensive entity; making groundbreaking discoveries, while seeking and transmitting knowledge and new understanding in its own right, and to the benefit of society. Our academics are expected to assume a technology transfer role, and to focus on economic development in collaboration with government and industry. We aim to be responsive to national priorities and global challenges by encouraging collaboration across our departments and schools, as well as among different faculties within the University and with other institutions both locally and internationally. This entails performing not only basic and applied research, but developing new or improved products and processes that can bring research into the realm of the man in the street.

BRACE FOR IMPACT
EBIT embraces the concept of interactive immersive technology to provide students with a deep experience of reality. Through virtual reality tools, we immerse students in the learning experience to expose them to the work they will be doing when they enter industry in a fail-safe environment.
This allows students to make the mindshift towards a future in which their unique talents and experiences will further the development and growth of sustainable communities. The Faculty of Engineering, Built Environment and IT offers study and research opportunities across these fields – placing us in a position to conduct exceptional multidisciplinary research to address relevant challenges in society.
