General Engineering Building

Although it is seen of a place of pain and misery, the number of learning centers are good for students finding a place to learn. The equipment in the building is very modern.

Stellenbosch University is great and has plenty of good buildings and lecture venues. But this building is not one of its best. It is decently clean and still probably has better facilities than most high schools. This building contains a café called the Chalkboard and it’s a great place to get food and is decently priced. While General Engineering’s exterior appears more modern than other buildings on campus the interior of the building is not at all modern compared to other campus buildings. The WiFi is slow and frequently cuts out especially when the building is full or class is in session - exactly when internet is needed most for streaming lectures or classes that use internet software. Most venues here don’t have working air conditioning and start feeling like a mosh pit in the summer. When you have tens or hundreds of people packed together in a small space all generating heat then proper climate control becomes really important. Other buildings on campus do have decent climate control. The computers in this building are slower and less modern than the ones in NARGA (Science Faculty) or FHARGA (EMS Faculty). This review just covers General Engineering and not other linked buildings in the Engineering complex.

This building has brought me to tears far too many times. But I have also made friends for life here and hopefully get an education soon. Unfortunately it doesn't pass with a 40% rating.

If you have ever been on crutches and had a class in the building you would know that the lifts are not accessible unless you are studying engineering. This makes it extremely difficult to attend any of your classes in the building.

Great building, very nice to look at, makes the degree look fun and doesn't it. Its a trap believe me. Engineering may at times be fun but the cost is your life. :(

Great lecture halls, amazing lecturers. Awesome tech to help learning. Good lighting with good deals and seats make an excellent learning environment. Eating area with the Chalkboard selling meals and refreshments make a good place to go for lunch or breaks. Amazing study area with access to everything you need. Library is also well equipped for engineering students

Nice lecture halls with great presentation technology.
Chalkboard, the new cafeteria is a convenience for all the ingeneering students. Also has a new study center with great wifi.

The Stellenbosch Faculty of Engineering is the best faculty on the campus.

To start with, it is the faculty that cares the most about its students. Offering extended degree programs, to aid those who have a disadvantage to still get their degree. Tutoring sessions that take place in the afternoon where students get individual attention, free of charge. Also knowing that the life of any person can be stressfull, the faculty has its own psychologist that all students have access to, for free.

In terms of schedules and tests, the engineering students have life the easiest. Well planned schedules and assignments to help students achieve their best.

It is also accredited by the same international board as MIT and Oxford. Enough said.
