A central tenet in the founding vision of UTT is the integration of business and
technology into the Universitys undergraduate and postgraduate programmes. UTT
has focused on a system of integrative instruction whereby multi-disciplinary content,
pedagogy and instructional methodology are core principles for learning.
An integrated programme design at UTT is not merely add-on courses picked from
diverse disciplines. One approach adopted by the University is to integrate instructional
methodologies, such as multi-disciplinary projects, problem-based learning, team
learning and instruction. Case studies, in the context of business and technology,
also provide rich benefits by helping students acquire broadly-based design skills.
UTT has been able to incorporate an integrative approach to learning, due in part to
the easy access of information across academic disciplines. By offering integrative
programmes, the University has and continues to equip its graduates with the right
tools to meet the demands of an ever-evolving society.
Through the Universitys Learning Centre, resources and links to resources, are
provided to allow faculty a more effective grasp on self-education. The Learning Centre
facilitates the preparation of UTTs instructors to teach in a networked world; one that
requires them to be effective in virtual and physical environments.
The Centre provides programmes and services that assist instructors in the design
and delivery of synchronous and asynchronous courses through face-to-face
teaching and distance learning (via video conferencing); hence leveraging educational
technologies to support learning.
18
UTT Libraries consist of a network of libraries, with one being located at each campus.
The Libraries, through their helpful and courteous staff, provide a wide range of
information resources, services and instruction, in support of the teaching, learning,
research and entrepreneurial activities of the University, as well as the overall holistic
personal development of students and staff.
The resources of each library are specifically geared to the programmes pursued at
the respective campuses. They include both print and electronic resources. These
can be accessed by using UTT Libraries OneSearch Discovery Service facility through
which the entire collection can be searched, or by using the online catalogue for
locating print and multimedia items. These facilities are available via the Libraries
link on the Universitys homepage or at http://u.tt/library.
UTT Libraries are comfortable with a pleasant ambience conducive to study, research
and the development of an enquiring and innovative mind. Seating is provided for
individual as well as group activities. Each library is equipped with a number of
computer workstations with internet access and software to facilitate the research and

Civil Engineers have historically been responsible for the planning, design, construction, maintenance and management of the physical
environment around us. Few professions embrace such a diverse range of activities, from transport systems, water collection, treatment
and distribution systems, to buildings and structures.
Now, in the 21st century, we see some important transitions in the practice of Civil Engineering. Our work requires us to deal not just with
technical issues and efficient design, but all the more so with the larger social, economic, and environmental aspects of our work. Our local
civil engineers must be able to work with and within other cultures, further, regional, national, and international issues are important in
how major projects are designed, built, and operated, and in assessing how environmental effects transcend political boundaries.
Our civil infrastructure (transportation and lifeline systems) is decaying at an increasing rate. Additionally, one of the greatest challenges
worldwide is protecting the environment and sustaining our future in the face of ever-increasing societal needs and population pressures.
Our design and construction processes must be implemented in ways that consider the sustainability of a proposed structure in an
integrated and timely fashion. There is an increased need to move people and goods and therefore efficient and ecologically friendly
transportation systems must be developed and implemented to serve this need.
These factors suggest that the technical curriculum must recognise that a young person coming to the profession needs breadth, balance,
and perspective. The University of Trinidad and Tobago believes the important activities in the 21st century will include sustaining the
environment and the natural cycles on which all life depends; an increased contribution by civil engineers towards the generation of wealth
through entrepreneurial activities; and providing the necessities for human life and civil societies, including energy, shelter, food, water, and
air, and the infrastructure for commerce in more efficient and renewable ways than today.
