Philosophy:

The general philosophy is to produce graduate with high academic and ethical standard and adequate practical exposure for self-employment as well as of being of immediate value to industry and community.

 Consequently, the philosophy behind training of students in Mechanical Engineering at the Osun State University is to train students and produce graduates with high academic standards and adequate practical background in Mechanical Engineering fields of design, construction, installation and use of a variety of equipment ranging from manufacturing and power generating equipment to consumer goods, through broad-based training and exposure to industrial as well as entrepreneurial practices, to enable them satisfy the immediate manpower needs of the industry and the community.

Objectives:

The specific objectives of the programme are itemized below:

• Provision of broad based academic and practical training to achieve mastery in Mechanical Engineering concepts
• To provide a wide range of quality learning opportunities for students in Mechanical Engineering without distinction of race, creed, sex, religious or political conviction such that will enhance their best intellectual, social and personal development;
• To provide academic, professional and vocational training of high quality in Mechanical Engineering, in such a way as to enrich and improve the state, national and international human resources capabilities and assist its graduates to contribute to the common good of the society;
• Training individuals in the standard engineering practices as applicable to the modern techniques; formulating solutions to the various industrial, manufacturing, and service delivery problems prevalent in our society.
• To foster academic research in Mechanical Engineering, which contributes to human knowledge and the vitality of the institution;
• To evolve academic programmes in Mechanical Engineering to suit the changing social and economic needs of society through continuous review of curricula and development of new programmes to respond to societal and technological changes in Osun State in particular, Nigeria and the world in general.

Admission Requirements:

Requirements for admission into Mechanical Engineering programme are guided by the University policy on admission and in accordance with the NUC guidelines.

To qualify for admission into the programme in the Department, a candidate must possess at least five (5) credit passes in SSCE or NECO (O’ Level), obtained at not more than two sittings, which must include the following subjects: English Language, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and any other Science subject (Credit in Further Mathematics and Technical Drawing is an advantage). Candidates with acceptable passes in the Pre-Degree Programme Examination of the Osun State University and that have an acceptable pass in the UTME may also be admitted into the 5-year degree programme of the Department.

Direct Entry Requirements

Candidates with passes at the Advanced Level (A-Level) in relevant subjects, which must include Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry and those with OND (Upper Credit) and HND (minimum of lower Credit) from any higher institution recognized by the University Senate may be admitted into the 200-level, provided such candidate fulfill the UTME admission requirements of the Department.

Post UTME Screening

All candidates seeking admission into the University shall be required to present themselves for the University Post UTME Screening before being admitted.

Registration Procedure:

1. Students shall normally complete registration at the beginning of the semester
2. Any addition or deletion from the courses for which a student is formally registered must be made with the consent of the course coordinator.
3. A student may be allowed to withdraw from a course by the course administrator before a third of lectures have been given. Such a student who withdraws after this time or who fails to sit for the examination without reasons acceptable to the appropriate Faculty/College Board shall be deemed to have failed the course. A Grade Point 0F shall be recorded for such a student in the course.
4. Late registration in the course may be allowed with penalty of up to 4 weeks after the commencement of registration.

Duration of Degree Programme:

The minimum duration for the Bachelor of Engineering (B.Eng.) programme is 10 semesters. Direct entry candidates with ND and the equivalents shall have minimum duration of 8 semesters while those with HND shall have minimum duration of 6 semesters.

Graduation Requirements:

To qualify for a degree of the Osun State University, a student is required to have:

1. Completed and passed the prescribed number of units including all compulsory courses specified by the University.
2. Completed and met the standards for all required and optional courses.
3. Obtained the prescribed minimum CGPA

The Department of Mechanical Engineering is one of the most versatile Departments as far as faculty of Engineering is concerned. Although, Civil Engineering Department is one of the foundation Departments in Osun state University since 2007, Mechanical Engineering staffs had been part of the Civil Engineering Department. The Mechanical Engineering Department was carved out after resource verification by the National University Commission (NUC) and Council for Regulation of engineers in Nigeria (COREN). The University was permitted to commence the Mechanical Engineering courses in 2013. The first set of admitted students came onboard and hence lecture started.

The Department runs a 5-year programme, operating 2-semester course units systems in its curriculum that leads to the awards of Bachelor of Engineering (B.Eng.) degree in Mechanical Engineering.  The 5-year duration is expected to progress from year-one (100 level) through year-five (500 level).  Each year is divided into two semesters (Harmattan and Rain), each of 17-18 weeks duration. 

The academic programme of the Department operates academic curricular 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 being regularly revised. The last revision took place in 2015 to bring the programme contents in line with Benchmark Minimum Academic Standards (BMAS) by the National Universities Commission (NUC) and Council for the Regulation of Engineering in Nigeria (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 since obtained higher degrees and are in various institutions as members of faculty. Those in industries and private establishment are holding good positions in the public and private sectors of the economy.

Programme Educational Objectives (PEOs)

The programme has five basic PEOs which are highlighted below:

1. PEO1–KNOWLEDGE: access high quality teaching and learning experiences in mathematics, science, engineering fundamentals and an engineering specialization to the solution of developmental and complex engineering problems.
2. PEO2 –RESEARCH: conduct investigation into developmental or complex problems using research-based knowledge and research methods including design of experiments, analysis and interpretation of data, and synthesis of information to provide valid conclusions.

iii. PEO3 -ENTREPRENEURIAL SKILLS: have entrepreneurial skills that can make them stand on their own as job creators, to provide the engineering industry and profession globally, with readily employable and enterprising graduates prepared for the assumption of technical, managerial and financial responsibilities.

1. PEO4 -PROFESSIONALISM AND TEAMWORK: execute and manage teamwork, interpersonal skills and professional growth and be able to conduct professional practice considering societal, ethical, and environmental aspects.
2. PEO5 – INVENTION AND CREATIVITY: apply the acquired knowledge and skills in agricultural engineering to develop innovative and sustainable solutions for global competitiveness.
