Scientific Director’s message
As a flagship institute committed to excellence in engineering education, research, and innovation, HU-IoT plays a critical role in shaping Ethiopia’s technological future. Since its transformation from the former Faculty of Technology in 2009, our Institute has grown into a vibrant academic community that upholds the highest standards of teaching, research, and community engagement.
Faculty of Biosystems and Water Resources Engineering
The Faculty of Bio-systems and Water Resources Engineering was established through the strategic merger of the former School of Bio-systems and Environmental Engineering and the School of Water Resources Engineering.
Currently, the faculty offers four well-structured undergraduate programs:
Faculty of Civil Engineering and Built
Environment
The Faculty of Civil Engineering and Built Environment is one of the key faculties within the Institute of Technology at Hawassa University. It plays a vital role in shaping the physical infrastructure and urban landscapes of Ethiopia through high-quality education, research, and community engagement.
The faculty is composed of four academic departments that offer a multidisciplinary approach to the built environment:
Faculty of Electrical Engineering
The Faculty of Electrical Engineering is a dynamic and forward-looking academic unit within the Institute of Technology at Hawassa University. It is dedicated to producing highly skilled professionals equipped to drive technological innovation and contribute to national development in the fields of electrical, computer, and biomedical engineering.
Faculty of
Informatics
The Faculty of Informatics at Hawassa University’s Institute of Technology is a hub for innovation and excellence in computing and information sciences. Initially established in 2008 as the School of Informatics, it began with three undergraduate programs: Computer Science, Information Technology, and Information Systems. In 2017, following the restructuring of the Institute of Technology, the school was elevated to Faculty status, and its academic programs were reorganized into three independent departments:
Faculty of
Manufacturing Engineering
The Faculty of Manufacturing Engineering is one of the largest and most dynamic faculties within the Institute of Technology at Hawassa University. Currently, we offer six undergraduate programs that are designed to meet the growing demand for skilled engineers across a range of industrial sectors. These programs include:

Laboratory Facilities
We are set to begin the construction of 8 standardised and modern laboratories with a 2-million-euro grant, funded by German development bank (KfW). Alongside the procurement of advanced equipment and machinery through an international tender, and furniture via a national tender for these laboratories will be scheduled to commence imminently. The respective winner of bidders for all procurement packages have been known and are ready to dive into their respective tasks. These laboratories are: -
Electrical Drives & Automation Lab
The Electrical Drives and Automation lab is all
about getting hands-on with systems that turn electrical energy into mechanical
energy, mainly for automation tasks.
Energy Engineering & Power Electronics Lab
Energy Engineering is a vast field that covers
everything from generating energy—whether it’s from fossil fuels or renewable
sources
Control Engineering Lab
A Control Engineering lab offers a dynamic,
hands-on space where students and researchers dive into designing,
implementing, and testing control systems for a variety of physical processes.
Instrumentation Engineering Lab
Instrumentation engineering is a unique field that zeroes in on designing, developing, implementing, and managing systems and devices for measurement, monitoring, and control.
Communication Engineering Lab
Communication Eng. is a unique field
within electrical engineering that zeroes in on how we transmit, receive, and
process information through different channels, whether they’re wired or
wireless.
Microelectronics & Microprocessors Lab
Microelectronics and microprocessors are two interconnected fields that are essential to the world of electronics today.
Digital Electronics Lab
Digital Electronics is a fascinating branch of
electronics that focuses on signals represented by discrete values, usually in
the form of binary digits (0s and 1s), instead of continuous analog signals.
Basic Electrical Engineering Lab
Basic Electrical Engineering is a foundational discipline that introduces the core principles governing electricity, including concepts like voltage, current, resistance, power, and energy.
