The Department of Mechanical Engineering therefore, effectively took off with the enrolment of thirty-five (35) students in the 2007/2008 session in the 200 level for the Bachelor of Engineering (B.Eng.) programme, that had successfully completed the one session preliminary programme of the faculty; having been admitted into 100 level in 2006/2007 session. 

The preliminary (or 100 level) programme of the faculty is made up of common (or general) courses taught to all the students in the Departments of the faculty. Department of Mechanical Engineering has been graduating students since the end of 2010/2011
academic session.

Three options are made available to students from 400 level of their academic programme, namely:

  • Design and Production Engineering
  • Alutomotive Engineering
  • Power Plant Engineering

The pioneer students of this department in these options completed their programme at the end of the 2010/2011 academic session. The undergraduate Programme in Mechanical engineering is for a minimum duration of five (5) academic years and a maximum duration of seven (7) academic years. Upon completing the Programme and fulfilling other University requirements, a Bachelor of Engineering degree in Mechanical Engineering (B.Eng.) is awarded. The Department has made three revisions of the courses it offers in its Programme of study since its inception to keep abreast with the dynamics of the profession as well as to meet the requirements of both the National University Commission (NUC). Council for the Regulation of Engineering in Nigeria (COREM) and the University Senate. The Department also supports postgraduate programmes leading to a Postgraduate Diploma (PGD) in Mechanical Engineering. Master of Engineering (M. Eng.) and a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D) in Mechanical Engineering.
