CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION TO DAR ES SALAAM INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY
1.1 Brief Information about DIT
The Dar es Salaam Institute of Technology (DIT) is located in the Dar es Salaam city centre,
at the junction of Morogoro Road and Bibi Titi Mohamed Street. Historically, DIT was
established in 1997 by the Act of Parliament, “the DIT Act No.6 of 1997” to replace the Dar
es Salaam Technical College, which had a long history of technical training in Tanzania. This
history dates back to 1957 when its predecessor; the Dar es Salaam Technical Institute was
established with the main task of providing vocational training in the country. The Institute
later expanded its scope to offer technical secondary school courses and training for
Technical Assistants before it was upgraded in 1962 to become the Dar es Salaam Technical
College (DTC) ; the first formal technical training institution in the country.
Part of the responsibilities of DTC at the time of its inception was to train technicians under
the London City and Guilds Training Programme. In order to enhance its contribution to the
national capacity building in technical manpower, the College in 1964 introduced two and a
half year Ordinary Technician Diploma (OTD) programmes in Civil, Electrical,
Telecommunications and Mechanical Engineering. These were later upgraded into three year
Full Technician Certificate (FTC) courses in 1970/1.
Concurrently with that move, the College also introduced Diploma in Engineering (DE)
programmes in the four traditional engineering disciplines to provide post-FTC technical
training. Courses for Laboratory Technology and Diploma in Technical Education (DTE) were
also introduced.
The position of DTC in the provision of higher technical education was consolidated in 1991
when the corresponding Advanced Diploma in Engineering (ADE) programmes replaced the
Diploma in Engineering (DE) courses. Today, DE and ADE graduates can be found in almost
all engineering firms/institutions and positive feedback is available from the respective
employers to indicate their overall good performance.
These achievements however, needed to be complemented with some more proactive Dar
es Salaam Institute of Technology- PROSPECTUS 2010/2011 plans to cope with the new
developments in the country and worldwide. The current political and economic trends, as
well as the new technological changes have increased competition in the demand for, and
supply of quality products including technical education and services. Under such a
competitive environment, the leading position of DTC in the provision of higher technical
education could not be sustained for long, with its old set-up and mission.
A new institution was therefore necessary to replace the Dar es Salaam Technical College;
the institution that can effectively address the current technological developments, provide
competitive academic outputs in terms of quality technical training, applied research and
expertise services to the community. The Dar es Salaam Institute of Technology was
therefore established in 1997 to realise that aspiration, as guided by its vision and mission.
DIT is a fully accredited institution by the National Council for Technical Education (NACTE).
It offers a wide range of full-time, part-time and professional engineering qualifications and
courses. The Institute has replaced the FTC and ADE programmes with Ordinary Diploma and
Bachelor of Engineering programmes respectively (i.e National Technical Awards (NTA )
Level 4-8) in line with the NACTE competence based modular training system.
Currently, the Institute is undergoing both administrative and academic transformations to
match with its new structure, roles and functions. The expectations and aspirations of
DIT PROSPECTUS 2007/2008 1

Tanzanian towards DIT are very high as expressed in the National Technical Education and
Training Policy of 1996, National Higher Education Policy of 1999 and Tanzania Development
Vision 2025 of 1999. Our ultimate goal is to transform DIT to a world-class centre of
excellence in Engineering, Applied Sciences and Entrepreneurship.
This Prospectus therefore, describes the main features of the DIT in line with the customers’
and stakeholders’ interest. It provides an outline of academic programmes. It gives
important information on the basic requirements, procedures and regulations to be met for
one to get admission and graduate at the Institute, course programmes, course duration and
other necessary information.

accommodation to all students. Campus accommodation is obtained
upon application by fulltime B.Eng students. Students’ hostels are
located within the DIT compound and Chang’ombe area. Students
seeking accommodation in the Institute’s hostels are required to bring
with them: pillows, mosquito nets and blankets. The Institute’s
mattresses and beds are hired at the rate of five thousands shillings
(5,000/=) and two thousands shillings (2,000/=) respectively per
academic year for NTA levels 4-6. B.Eng Students are required to pay
DIT PROSPECTUS 2007/20082009/2010 142

a prescribed accommodation fee.
Students accommodated at the Institute’s hostels must observe rules

and regulations applicable to the Institute’s hostels. These include, but
not limited to, the strict requirement for all students to vacate their
rooms and hand-over their room keys to the Warden/Matron during
vacation Industrial Practical Training periods as well as not to cook in
hostels or employ house girls/boys for cooking and laundry duties
8.3 STUDENTS’ ADMINISTRATION

Most of the students’ activities at the Institute are organised by the
DIT Students Organisation (DITSO) under the coordination of the Office
of the Dean of Students. The Organisation is concerned with the
student’s academic, political, social and recreational activities. Every
student becomes a member of DITSO (Dar es Salaam Institute of
Technology Student Organisation) and students are advised to make
their academic life meaningful by making their Organisation contribute
positively towards the Institute Vision, Mission and its objectives.
8.4 STUDENTS’ CATERING SERVICES

NTA Level 4-6 students are not paid meal allowances, instead, meals
are provided by the Institute in a dining hall located in the campus.
Menu depends on the ability of the sponsor. Government sponsored
B.Eng students obtain their meals from a number of points providing
catering services within the proximity of the Institute. The same
applies to all day privately sponsored students.
8.5 MEDICAL SERVICES

The Institute has a Health Care Unit for students, staff and their
families. The Unit provides outpatient services on cost sharing basis
and may refer patients to other hospitals if necessary. The vision of
the DIT Health Care Unit is to expand the services, which will include
provision of in-patient services and medical laboratories.
Before admission to DIT, each student is required to furnish the

Institute with a satisfactory medical report from a recognised medical
practitioner or medical officer. Students are directed to report at the
Health Care Unit each time before they embark for any referral
treatment.
8.6 GENDER MANAGEMENT UNIT

Gender Management Unit (GMU) is a unit which deals with solving
problems related to gender imbalance in education and training at
DIT. The task force, in collaboration with DIT management, plans and
implements various programs for improving enrolment of female
students in engineering courses. The establishment of GMU at DIT is
an important strategy for bridging the ever-growing gap in technical
education between men and women at the Institute and the society at
large.
DIT PROSPECTUS 2007/20082009/2010 143

GMU also undertakes the task of promoting capacity building for
female staff at the Institute through seminars, workshops and other
related courses.
8.7 RENTAL SERVICES

DIT possesses a variety of renting facilities, which are available for use
at reasonable charges. Its ideal location in the city centre makes it
possible for excellent use and access of these facilities for interested
users.
• DIT has 19 engineering workshops and 4 science laboratories
that can be used for providing both training and production
services to students and outside community.
• It has 26 classrooms which can be rented during weekends

and when students are on vacation or industrial training.

available to the outside community for renting, when it is not
in DIT use.
• An executive room with a sitting capacity of about 20 people
is also available for renting. This room is furnished with soft

makes this offer most attractive.
