Faculty of Engineering and Technology
The Faculty of Engineering and Technology came into existence with the establishment of the University in 1990. The Faculty is located at the eastern part of the current site occupied by the University. It is neighbored by the Pre-Degree Science Building, the 250 seat lecture theatre, the Senate building and the University central library.
The Faculty is made up of Eight (8) Departments running Eleven (11) degree awarding programmes.
Physical Development
Currently, each department has a block housing the Head of Department and Departmental office, and a 10-room block of offices which accommodates its academic staff. In effect there has been an additional sixty (60) academic staff offices.
In the same vein there has been expansion in the laboratory facilities, these include five blocks housing various laboratories and a donated Electrical power Laboratory (Mic Com Lab), in addition to the existing laboratories viz;Owodunni Food Processsing lab and Chief. L.A. Gbadamosi Chemical Engineering lab.
Similarly the Engineering workshop has been restructured and expanded to include machine shop, wood workshop, metal workshop, foundry, automobile lab, Electronic and Electrical workshops and 132 capacity drawing studio.
Indeed there has also been a commensurate increase in the number of equipment available for use in these laboratories and workshops.
It is pertinent to note that in addition to the University's Central Internet Facilities, all offices in the Faculty have been networked and linked with the Faculty VSAT. This has enhanced academic work and staff research activities.
Academic Work
The students in the faculty undergo a total of 40 weeks compulsory Industrial work experience programme. This comprises of FET 200 (SWEPI) and FET 300 (SWEPII) which take place during the long vacations of 200 & 300 level each, spanning eight (8) weeks during which students undergo appreticeship training with local artisans/technicians and roadside professionals. The Student Industrial Work Experience Scheme (SIWES) takes place during the 2nd Semester of the forth year and the long vacation (24 weeks). Students are placed in relevant industries and their progress monitored by staff members and Industry based Supervisors. Feed back from industries indicate good performance of these students during the SIWES programme.
Over the years the Faculty has succeeded in attracting well qualified and experienced staff into its Academic, Technical and Administrative Units Some of the lecturers are engaged in doctoral programmes in Universities within and outside Nigeria. A large percentage of the lecturers in the Faculty are COREN registered while others have registreable qualifications. Also, quite a number of the technologists are COREN registered while others are being encouraged to do so.
Presently, almost all the programes run within the Faculty have both National Universities Commission (NUC) and Council for the Regulation of Engineering in Nigeria (COREN) Full Accreditation Status.
Since inception, the Faculty has turned out Nine (9) sets of graduates. The performance of these graduates have been quite commendable.
