MESSAGE FROM THE DEAN

On behalf of all staff of the Faculty of Engineering of The University of the
West Indies let me welcome all new and returning students to the Faculty
for the 2010/2011 Academic Year.
The Faculty of Engineering at UWI is the premier engineering faculty

in the West Indies. It was formally opened in 1963, although teaching
actually started a year earlier. Among the first students in that batch of
28 are such luminaries as Professor Emeritus Winston Mellowes who
eventually lectured in the Department of Chemical Engineering for
many years and Mr. Malcolm Jones who is highly recognised for his
work in the Energy sector in Trinidad and Tobago. Significantly, much
of the development of this faculty took place under Professor Emeritus
Kenneth Julien, who pioneered the growth of the Point Lisas Industrial
Estate and who now heads the University of Trinidad and Tobago and
Professor Emeritus Maxwell Richards, currently President of the Republic
of Trinidad and Tobago. The Faculty of Engineering can therefore boast
of a well established reputation of excellence and a significant role in the
development of the Caribbean Region.

AN HISTORICAL NOTE
The University of the West Indies was founded in 1948 at Mona,
Jamaica as a College in special relationship with the University
of London, to serve the British territories in the Caribbean area. It
achieved full University status by Royal Charter in 1962, thereby
becoming a degree-granting institution in its own right.
A second campus of the University was established in 1960

when the Imperial College of Tropical Agriculture (ICTA) at St.
Augustine, Trinidad was incorporated into the University Col-
lege. On August 25, 1959, a Plan of Operation was signed which
provided for a United Nations Special Fund allocation and a
Government counterpart contribution for the establishment of
a Faculty of Engineering. The then Vice-Chancellor and Principal
of the University College, Nobel Laureate Sir Arthur Lewis had
the overall responsibility of securing funding for the financing of
the Engineering buildings and for expediting the final decision
to locate the Faculty of Engineering at St. Augustine.
The initial layout comprised five (5) blocks with a total of 5,400
square metres of floor space of which the laboratories occupied
3,030 square metres.
Construction commenced in 1961 and was completed by the

end of 1962. During the 1961/62 Academic Year (the first year of
teaching), the Faculty was housed in temporary accommodation
on the campus. The formal opening of the new buildings of the
Faculty took place on February 1, 1963.
Initially, undergraduate and graduate research degrees were

offered in the main branches of Engineering - Chemical, Civil,
Electrical and Mechanical. The Faculty steadily grew over the
years with a major expansion of both physical infrastructure and
academic programmes in the 1980s with additional disciplines at
the BSc level and several specialist MSc degrees. Floor space now
occupies close to 53,181 square metres of classrooms, laboratories
and offices, with expansion continuing almost on a yearly basis.
The semester system was introduced on a phased basis in 1990

at the undergraduate level, followed by the MSc programmes
at a later date.
From a modest beginning of 28 students in the Academic

Year 1961/62, the Faculty has produced, up to Semester 2 of
the 2009/2010 Academic Year, 7023 graduates in the fields of
Chemical (1056), Civil (1422), Civil with Environmental (51),
Electrical and Computer (1712), Agricultural (79), Industrial
(385), Mechanical (1760), Mechanical with Biosystems (24),
Petroleum (48), Petroleum Geoscience (93) and Surveying and
Land Information (357). In 2007/2008, the Faculty introduced
its BSc (Hons) programme in Land Management (Valuation),
graduating 4 students of its first cohort. In addition, in a
restructuring exercise in the Department of Surveying and Land
Information, the name of the Department was changed to the
Department of Geomatics Engineering & Land Management,
with effect from the 2009/2010 Academic Year. As a result of
this exercise the name of the BSc programme was changed
from Surveying and Land Information to Geomatics, graduating
37 students under its new name.

TRIBUTE TO THE LATE PROFESSOR EMERITUS I.D.C. IMBERT

I D C Imbert, Professor Emeritus of The University of the
West Indies (UWI), died on May 18, 2009. He lectured in Civil
Engineering at UWI for over 30 years. He also lectured on the
topic“Development of Civilization”to students of the Humanities
and other Faculties.
He was born in St Lucia in 1931, moved with the family to

Dominica in 1937, and moved again to Montserrat in 1942. He
won the Leeward Islands Scholarship in 1948 and graduated
in 1953 with First Class Honours in Civil Engineering from
University College Dublin (UCD), National University of Ireland.
In 1959 he got his Master’s from UCD and returned to Ireland in
1966 to do his PhD at Trinity College, Dublin University, which he
completed in the record time of two years.
He was employed as an Engineer by the Government in Antigua

after completing his Bachelor’s degree in 1953. He was Director
of Works in Barbados in 1964 when he joined the Department
of Civil Engineering, UWI. Together with Professors K.S. Julien,
H.O. Phelps and G.M. Richards, and others such as Professor
S. Satcunanathan, Ken Cazabon and Compton Dean, he is
considered one of the founding fathers of the Faculty and the
Department of Civil Engineering, which he served as Head
of Department. He was appointed Professor of Construction
Engineering and Management in 1976. He also served as Assistant Dean of the Faculty of Engineering and was elected Dean of the
Faculty for three successive terms from 1979-1988.
He supervised more successful PhD candidates than any other academic in the Faculty, three of whom joined the staff in UWI, two of
whom, Professors Winston Suite and T.M. “Mike” Lewis, succeeded him as Professor of Construction Engineering and Management.
He was an excellent teacher and is remembered by thousands of students and colleagues all over the Caribbean and further afield,
not only for his teaching of engineering but also for his general knowledge, his fantastic memory, his good humour and down-to-
earth disposition.
He was an international expert in concrete technology and was retained as a consultant in every country of the Commonwealth
Caribbean and beyond. He established an internationally recognized concrete and structural laboratory at UWI and was instrumental
in establishing laboratories in several institutions in the region. He was also an acknowledged expert in hurricanes and was associated
with the National Hurricane Centre in Miami for many years as well as serving as a Visiting Professor at Florida International University.
He was the Director of a project in Hurricane Resistant Structures, the largest project in the UWI Department of Civil Engineering,
sponsored by the International Development Research Centre (IDRC).
He served on several national, regional and international committees and Boards, including the American Society of Highway
Engineers and was adviser to several institutions including the Caribbean Development and Metrication Boards in Jamaica and
Barbados. He played a key role in the establishment of the University of Technology, Jamaica.
He was a Life Member of the American Society of Civil Engineers and the Institution of Engineers of Ireland. He was a Life Fellow
of the Association of Professional Engineers of Trinidad and Tobago of which he was a past President and was honoured by the
Association with its highest award – a Career of Excellence. He was also awarded by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers
for his outstanding services to the teaching profession, by NIHERST and the Caribbean Academy of Sciences as an Icon of Science
and the national award of the Chaconia Medal – Silver.
