UWIEA – UWI Engineering Alumni

Engineering graduates of The University of the West Indies are the latest professional grouping to join the UWI Alumni Association (UWIAA).

The UWI Engineering Alumni (UWIEA) will function as an autonomous regional group under the umbrella of the UWIAA. They will partner with the UWI Alumni Association in a number of activities and initiatives including the UWI’s 60^th Anniversary Celebrations next year.

The UWIEA was launched at a Jamaica Institution of Engineers (JIE) luncheon early in 2007. Professor Clement Sankat, who was guest speaker, noted that the Faculty has had 6,234 graduates in Engineering and Surveying since being established in 1961.

Professor Sankat said that the UWI was extremely proud of its engineering graduates “who can be seen all over the region adding value in major industries such as Trinidad’s oil, gas and energy sector, Barbados’ light and power industry and Jamaica’s construction sector”.
