Undergraduate enrollment trends showed positive yearly growth in all the categories of engineering departments ( Electric and Electronic, Civil and Structural, and Mechanical Engineering),with an overall growth of 28.7% in AY 2013/2014 and 94.2% growth in AY 2014/2015. This growth would explain the competitiveness of engineering courses and education in Kenya today. The table below summarizes under graduate enrolment within three academic years in different categories of engineering programs.

Technical courses are of high demand in the country today, and engineering being one of the world’s most respected and coveted profession, it important for Kenya to notice this growth. The world today need a new kind of engineer, a new kind of engineering education, and a new set of educational values, this can only be realized through effectiveness of different teaching approaches. As a result of this steady rise in enrollment, Kenya is not left behind.

However, not all the engineering programs which were being offered in these 12 universities were all accredited by engineering board of Kenya. Out of a total of 10,343 engineering enrollment in the 12 universities, 6,131 students enrolled were in accredited degree programs. Only 59% of the total enrollment were in accredited programs.
