Engineering
Motion & Power.
Carved from a legacy of excellence and established in 2013, we train engineers to master the design, manufacturing, and maintenance of the mechanical systems that move the world.
The Department of Mechanical Engineering is one of the most versatile departments in the Faculty of Engineering. Although the Civil Engineering Department was one of the foundation departments in Osun State University since 2007, Mechanical Engineering staff had been part of the Civil Engineering Department.
The Mechanical Engineering Department was carved out after resource verification by the National Universities Commission (NUC) and the Council for the Regulation of Engineering in Nigeria (COREN). The University was permitted to commence the Mechanical Engineering programme in 2013. The first set of admitted students came onboard and lectures commenced thereafter.
The Department runs a 5-year programme, operating a 2-semester course unit system in its curriculum that leads to the award of the Bachelor of Engineering (B.Eng.) degree in Mechanical Engineering. The 5-year duration progresses from Year One (100 level) through Year Five (500 level). Each year is divided into two semesters (Harmattan and Rain), each lasting 17–18 weeks.
The academic programme of the Department operates curricula that are tailored along the stipulations contained in the National Universities Commission (NUC) Benchmark Minimum Academic Standards and as required by the Council for the Regulation of Engineering in Nigeria (COREN). The curricula for the programme are regularly revised. The last revision took place in 2015 to bring the programme contents in line with the Benchmark Minimum Academic Standards (BMAS) by NUC and COREN.
During the past 3 years, the Department has produced over 79 graduates. While many of these graduates are currently doing well in government and private establishments, some have obtained higher degrees and are now faculty members in various institutions. Those in industries and private establishments are holding good positions in the public and private sectors of the economy.
