Pre-Engineering and Allied Fields Coordinator Office was established in the year of 2010 under Engineering College, Kombolcha Institute of Technology (KIoT), Wollo University with a multi-discipline support for the producing of creative researchers, outstanding academicians and community welfare-centric scientists in different areas of institute. The office does not admit students of its own up to graduation, unlike the rest of KIoT departments, but offers a broad spectrum of institute requirement courses to engineering and science students. Furthermore, it admits and coordinates the first year pre-engineering students up to their department placement. The office has three academic units and one center which run these diverse courses: i.e. Mathematics and Statistics unit, English Language Unit, Civics and Ethical studies Unit and (as of 2017/18 Academic Year) English Language Improvement Center (ELIC).

According to the Ethiopian Higher Education Proclamation No. 650/2009, WU is mandated to establish, organize and determine the status, functions and responsibilities of academic units, and close down any of them when the University finds it appropriate. Accordingly, it is established so as to fulfill the mission of institute under engineering college.
