The Eritrea Institute of Technology is located on Mai Nefhi, about 20 km south west of Asmara, near the Mai Nefhi dam. It currently has four colleges: Science, Engineering and Technology, Education, and Arts and Social Sciences. Other new colleges are also under construction elsewhere in the country in other fields of studies, and these educational facilities are expected to strengthen tertiary education in Eritrea. The Institute began with about 5,500 students during the 2003-2004 academic year, and is still undergoing large amounts of construction.
As students are unable to buy their own textbooks, they borrow books on semester basis from the University Bookstore. For first year students, the Institute has acquired textbooks for most of the courses that are offered. However, there are severe shortages for second year students and this is causing bottlenecks in the teaching and learning process. Reference books are also in short supply and more are required. For textbooks, it would be desirable if the number of copies per title (book) is between 40 and 200. For reference books the corresponding number is between 5 to 10. Whenever possible hard cover books and latest editions are preferred.
