SPECIALITY

The USET, in a combination with vocational and technology-based education programs, will provide a unique opportunity to introduce the ‘Poly-Tech’ type education system in the higher education sector of Bangladesh. It should be noted that the Poly-Tech Universities have worked as strong catalysts for the development and industrialization of all the developed nations. Most of the top-ranked Universities in present days are Poly-Tech or Technical Universities in advanced nations. Moreover, the USET being a privately owned institution is a step in the right direction with its ambitious courses to enrich skills at the tertiary level. The major specialties of USET are mentioned below:

• It will create higher education facilities in a combination with technical and technology-based education in a backward area like Meghna and its surrounding Upazilas. This is in line with the present Government’s policy that Universities should be decentralized and spread out to rural and semi-rural areas in order to provide opportunities to the students located in the regional and backward areas. To date, USET is the first privately owned technical University in the country. Having the plan to build in Meghna Upazila, USET is facilitating the HPM Sheikh Hasina’s dream that ‘Every Upazila would have technical education centers’.
• USET will create strong skilled manpower by introducing the so-called ‘Dual’ technical education systems existing in the EU countries. The implementation of this type of education system will be based on various problems and programs oriented subjects with practical implementation in industrial sectors and rural development.

STRATEGY

The USET is offering socially relevant academic programs consisting of a substantial general education component in all undergraduate programs. The aim of USET is to recruit and retain good students, well-trained faculty with graduate degrees from overseas, qualified staff, promoting effective teaching, and quality research.
