Welcome to the Engineering Department. Our program has two disciplines, Plant and Production Engineering both of which are directly aimed at satisfying the needs of industry. The present trend in engineering training is to educate by practical, hands-on methods through Engineering Design and Special Projects. This philosophy forms the foundation of our academic training. Our motto is: Students first towards excellence and professionalism.

PROGRAMME TITLE

The Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering Degree (abbreviated as B.Eng M)

PROGRAMME CODE:  EEBF1111

PROGRAMME DESCRIPTION

Mechanical engineering is a creative discipline that draws upon a number of basic sciences to design the devices, machines, processes and systems that involve mechanical work and its conversions from and into, different forms of energy. It includes converting thermal, chemical and nuclear energy into mechanical energy through engines and power plants; transporting energy via devices like heat exchangers, pipelines, gears, and linkages; and using energy to perform a variety of tasks for the benefit of society, such as transportation vehicles of all types, manufacturing tools and equipment, and household appliances. Furthermore, since all manufactured products must be constructed of solid materials and because most products contain parts that transmit forces, mechanical engineering is involved in selecting the materials for and ensuring the structural integrity of almost every product on the market.
 

CAREER OPPORTUNITIES
 

PRODUCTION OPTION:

Production students, who are primarily involved in designing and manufacturing components, would usually find employment in the following areas:

· Factories
· Manufacturing facilities
· Bauxite Industry
· Service Industry

PLANT OPTION:

The Plant students, who deal mainly with the maintenance of equipment such as boilers, generators and other machines specific to a given company, would usually find employment in the following areas:

· Factories
· Manufacturing facilities
· Bauxite Industry
· Electricity Generating Companies
 

PROGRAMME ENTRY REQUIREMENTS
