Imo State University was established in the year 1981. Following the creation of flbia State out of the old Imo State, the University relocated to Owerri in 1992. The University operates a collegiate system and college of Engineering and Environmental Science was among the eight colleges set up to pioneer the new (or re-created) Imo State University. In June 2006, the Faculty of Engineering came into existence through the splitting of the college of Engineering and Environmental Sciences into Faculty of Engineering and Faculty of Environmental Sciences. The Faculty of Engineering took off with the following four Departments; However, in the year 2014, the Department of Food Science and Technology became part of the Faculty of Engineering.

The aim of establishing the Department was to meet the growing need for manpower in the Engineering profession. The main objective being to train and produce Engineers with the required qualities and capabilities to meet the increasing need for professional Engineers in the country.
