Faculty of Engineering & Information Technology

The faculty of Engineering and Information Technology (FEIT) is a faculty within the Southern University College (Southern UC). It was established on August 12, 2012 after Southern College (SC) was upgraded to Southern UC. The history reaches back to two decades ago, when the Department of Computer Science was first established in 1991. The Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering was established in 2004.
