Prof. Henry Alinaitwe, Principal, College of Engineering, Design, Art and Technology, Makerere University

It is an honor once again for having come to the close of the Academic year 2022. It comes at a time when we are gradually returning to normalcy following the serious interruptions we encountered arising from the COVID-19 pandemic and the attendant challenges that ensued thereafter. We are delighted that as we come to the close of the year, we have been able to operate smoothly with our students in class and gaining from a true university experience that was missed out in the past. It was wonderful to see our students back in the lecture rooms and the laboratories as well as staff busy transferring knowledge as well as making efforts to improve on their experiences through various interactions and research.

I am very proud of our many achievements and successes and I’m delighted to share some of these with you in this year’s Annual Report. As mandated, the College was able to present our students for graduation, with a record number receiving their diplomas and degrees. As our norm is, the college offered prizes to the best students.

At a College, effort was made to offer students with the opportunities, support and experiences to enable them forge a fulfilling and successful career upon graduation. We have therefore engaged in knowledge transfer in a number of ways and have encouraged the students to further their experience while at the college through student bodies and other networks.

The college continues to make all the necessary changes in the curricular to ensure that what is offered is in line with the needs of the society. Consequently, a number of programs are under review, with the newly introduced Master of Science in Land Management duly launched. This is testimony that we continue to firmly cemented our reputation as an ambitious college with influence, working with stakeholders is finding solutions to contemporary problems and therefore a force to rely on in the national development agenda.

We are looking forward to even a more successful period ahead of us, and together, definitely we shall achieve

He says this about the photo taken in May 2025 at CCE Hall:

“The very idea of this photograph is due to the fact that this place is very overwhelmed. I was running away from this hustle and bustle and I saw a photographer who almost ritualized the unfolding of this background. When he sat down with the newspaper, I didn’t want to disturb him. I felt like this photographer – when it’s not about the effect, but about the process of ritualizing photography.”
