This year’s Students Work Experience Programme (SWEP) was kick-started on Wednesday, 09th July, 2025, with an orientation programme organized by the College of Engineering (COLENG). The event was held at the new Ultra-modern Engineering Lecture Hall.
The SWEP is an 8-week-long programme that all Engineering students are required to participate in while studying to become Engineers at BellsTech. The SWEP theme and motto for this year 2025, is “Creating Sustainable Change.”
In his address to the students, the Dean College of Engineering, Professor Sunday Ojo Fayomi, appreciated the Coordinators of the SWEP 2025 for a well-articulated and structured programme plan. He implored the aspiring Engineers to be determined and focused on the task ahead. To be an engineer is not a day’s job, he also advised them.
Prof. Fayomi encouraged the students to be innovative, declaring that the journey to the world of innovation starts with an idea, and that the instrumentality of ideas brings sufficiency. He stated that the SWEP programme was put in place to inspire, create, build, and let students know that ideas rule the world.
In closing, the Dean charged the students to prepare their minds, work with their hearts, and be ready to take responsibility during this SWEP programme.
The SWEP training period is organized every year to teach students of Engineering different skills such as the usage of basic Engineering tools, and teamwork, as Engineers will always work with multiple professionals on projects e.g., Carpenters, Painters, etc. SWEP, therefore, prepares the students for the professional world ahead.
