DEAN’S OVERVIEW
its promotion in the use of cleaner energy as a part of the global push to reduce the emissions of greenhouse gases. The Faculty of Engineering has negotiated for depersonalized data collected from the proposed electric charger to be made available to the university, for the purpose of research. The electric charging station can also be configured to serve as an income generator for the campus. The electric charger is located outside The UWI Administration building at the centre of the campus. Published Research Published research from faculty members either addressed or were geared towards finding solutions to real problems. Publications from Faculty members were as follows: • Ellis, L.A., Leon, L.P., and Charran, A.V.

NATIONAL ENGAGEMENT AND OUTREACH
Outreach – August Town Youths The Faculty of Engineering hosted nine (9) youths from the August Town com- munity. Dr. Omar Thomas gave them the overall tour of the facilities. The boys’ mentors, Dr. Swane Gardener, from Kairos Network Ltd., and our Dr. Roxann Stennett-Brown were integral in facilitating this outreach activity. The boys were informed about different disciplines of engineering and were given tours of the Civil and Electronics & Electrical Power Engineering Laboratories. Thanks to our lab technician, Mr. Dennis Douglas, who gave them a tour of the Civil Engineering labs and performed laboratory demonstrations for the boys.
