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.
