"The Faculty of Engineering is happy with the progress made. We will build on this to improve ourselves. We are under no illusions, and acknowledge that much work still needs to be done in strengthening our teaching and research. In the next few years, the full impact of the large research funding we received, and key restructuring moves would manifest themselves.
