On behalf of all the staff from the School of Informatics and Innovative Systems, I would like welcome you warmly to our School.
The impact of COVID-19 has made our University to change how we have traditional held first year orientation sessions. In addition, SIIS is expecting that teaching and learning will be enhanced with the introduction of our ejooust eLearning platform.
In SIIS we are cognizant of the important role that Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) will play in fulfilling the “Big Four” Agenda, the Kenya government economic blueprint that was developed to foster economic development and provide a solution to the various socio-economic problems facing Kenyans. It is well known that ICTs are enablers in terms of reducing costs and improving productivity through the streamlining of operations. ICT will provide solutions ranging from developing health information systems, developing applications for digitizing land records, harnessing the power of Internet of Things and Artificial Intelligence to develop Smart farming applications and many more. SIIS is well positioned to take a lead in developing these applications to support the Kenya government Big Four. We need people like you with interests in ICT.
Career Path
In SIIS we are training students to become application analyst, cyber security analyst, data analyst, data scientist, database administrators, Information systems managers, and IT consultants. We are also shaping students to become specialists in the prevention, detection, correction, and conviction of digital crimes through our BSc in Computer Security and Forensics. In addition, we seek to play a major role in harnessing the power of the fourth Industrial Revolution Technologies(4IRs) such as Artificial Intelligence, Internet of Things, Robotics, Data Analytics using open source technologies such as “python” to assist small to medium business, health institutions and other governmental and non-governmental agencies in Kenya to make real time decisions and develop business applications. We would like to lead the way in this path.
Staff
SISS has 11 full-time teaching staff and 3 non-teaching staff members. Among our staff are professionals with international experience in the IT field (teaching and research), have studied and worked in some of the best universities outside Kenya.

The School of Engineering and Technology provides quality academic training and pursues innovative research to respond to emerging global challenges, with a commitment to nurture a culture of innovation and knowledg eco-production. To support its academic programmes, the school has established two departments; the Department of Civil Engineering and Construction Management and the Department of Agricultural Engineering and Energy Technology. Over the last six years, the School has produced graduates in the following programmes; Bachelor ofScience in Construction Management, Bsc in Renewable Energy Technology and Management, and Diploma in Building and Civil Engineering. Backed by highly qualified staff and practical experience imparted into the students by the deliber ately designed programmes, our alumni are well placed and most of them are reported to be working in critical sectors of our national economy, e.g. Energy and Construction.
The recent notable achievements within the School include; development of Biomass (municipal solid waste, fecal matter/Hyacinth) energy products, improvement of the mechanical workshop, establishment of materials testing lab and construction of hydraulic laboratory. Masters and PhD programmes in both Renewable Energy Technology and Construction Management will be launched within the next academic year upon the requisite approval by the Commission for University Education. The following academic programmes are being developed; Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering, BSc in Agricultural Engineering, Bachelor ofArchitecture, Bachelor of Civil Engineering and Bachelor of Building Economics.
The school is keen on connecting engineering science and technology to industrial development to foster both economic and social development as evidenced in its out-reach activities addressing emerging issues relating to the University niche areas of energy and water, as well as global challenges such as COVID-19.
