Brief History

Following the approval by the Senate; for the commencement of engineering programmes and for which Resource Verification was later conducted by the National Universities Commission; the School of Engineering and Engineering Technology took off during the 2017/2018 academic session with three programmes, namely Civil Engineering, Electrical and Electronic Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering. Each of these programmes is designed for completion in five years, leading to the award of Bachelor of Engineering (B.Eng.).

Engineering and technological skills are the bedrock of technological development of any nation, and so responsible for national economic growth and maturity, with contribution to human welfare, health and all-round progress. In line with the foregoing, the philosophy of the School of Engineering and Engineering Technology is to produce graduates with high academic standard and adequate practical background for self-employment, as well as being of immediate value to the industrial and the community in general. The school produces graduates of engineering who are equipped to solve national engineering problems while being globally competitive.  

During the 2023/2024 academic session, the three pioneer departments of the school produced their first sets of graduates. In the 2024/2025 session, the Department of Chemical and Petroleum Engineering was commenced, offering two programmes: Petroleum and Gas Engineering, and Chemical Engineering; that are designed to two metamorphose into two separate departments in near future.

The school is headed by a Dean who oversees the general administration and the academic affairs of the school. A School Officer is administrative staff appointed to assist the Dean in the oversight functions. There is a School Board chaired by the Dean and comprises of all academic staff of senior lecturer and professorial ranks. The Board is the decision-making organ of the school. Each department of the school is headed by a Head of Department who coordinates and supervises the administrative and academic affairs of the department.

Philosophy and Objectives of Engineering and Technology

Philosophy

To achieve the goals and objectives of the National Policy on Industrialization and Self-Reliance, the Engineering and Technology education would be geared towards:

(i) The development of a thorough practice in engineering and technology training

(ii) Broad–based training in general Engineering and Technology at the early stages of the programme

(iii) Practical application of Engineering, Technology and Manufacturing Processes.

(iv) Adequate training in human and organizational behaviour and management

(v) Introduction to entrepreneurial education and training

(vi) Close association of the programme with industries in the country.

The general philosophy therefore is to produce graduates with high academic standard and adequate practical background for self employment as well as being of immediate value to the industry and the community in general.

Goals and Objectives

The general goals and objectives of Engineering and Technology training is in consonance with the realization of national needs and aspirations vis-à-vis industrial development and technological emancipation. The graduates must therefore be resourceful, creative, knowledgeable and able to perform the following functions:

 (i) To design engineering projects and supervise their implementation.

(ii) To design and implement components, machines, equipment and systems.

(iii) To design and develop new products and production techniques in industries.

(iv) To install and maintain complex engineering systems so that they can perform optimally in our environment.

(v) To adapt and adopt exogenous technology in order to solve local engineering problems.

(vi) To be able to exercise original thought, have good professional judgment and be able to take responsibility for the direction of important tasks.

(vii) To be able to manage people, fund, materials and equipment.

(viii) To improve on indigenous technology to enhance local problems solving capability.

Engineering and technological skills are the bedrock of technological development of any nation, and therefore responsible for national economic growth and maturity, with attendant contribution to human welfare, health and progress.
