The College of Engineering and Technology is one of the largest colleges in Mizan-Tepi University, and it was launched in 2002 E.C./2010G.C. with two departments, namely: Surveying Engineering and Construction Technology and Management. Two years later, in 2003E.C. /2011G.C. the College of Engineering and Technology launched an additional three departments, namely: Civil Engineering, Electrical and Computer Engineering and Mechanical Engineering. In 2010E.C./2018G.C., an additional department named Hydraulic and Water Resources Engineering was launched. By now, the College of Engineering and Technology has six (6) departments with different fields of specialization.

In addition to the regular program, the College of Engineering and Technology is offering an extension or weekend program in the Civil Engineering and Construction Technology and Management departments at the BSc level; and there is also a summer program in Engineering Drawing and Design at the BED (Bachelor of Education Degree) level.

Since 2006 E.C. /2014 G.C. the College of Engineering and Technology has graduated more than 5000 students in BSc programs. At present, about 2000 undergraduate students in six regular programs, 55 undergraduate students in two weekend programs, and 115 undergraduate students in the summer program are enrolled and attending their studies.
